VW22 Shaded Polygon/HL Rendering Crashing

[ryanesson]

Hi,

 

I have a fairly basic VW file that where I am trying render in HL and/or Shaded Polygon on the Sheet Layer, and everytime the render after leaving for 1hr+ just sticks at the 'caching graphics' point and the only way to move forward is to force quit.

 

Screenshot of progress bar attached.

 

I seem to be having HL rendering issues across a number of projects now since moving to 22 and wondered if anyone could offer any suggestions to help?

 

I am on VW22 SP3 on a Mac with Apple M1 Chip, running Monterey 12.2. 16GB RAM.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @ryanesson, 

 

As this is not typical behaviour and as you have moved from a previous version to this one, the most likely cause are corrupt files in your Vectorworks User Folder. 

 

Run through the Resetting Vectorworks Preferences process. - Make sure you read the instructions carefully including how to "maintain a copy of your preferences" if you want to.

Have a look in macos Activity Monitor while this is happening. Is there very high memory usage?
