Sketch Rendering Engine Problems

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:42:27 GMT

At times when I use the sketch rendering engine stray lines are produced see (jpg) below, wondering if any one else has experienced this phenom. I use windowdoor builder for windows and doors (note most if not all lines start or end @ the windows). Also at times if I rotate the model and rerender the sketch engine does not produce the shadows. Shown in the second jpg below.

Thanks
Jim

Missing shadows when model rotated and then rendered using sketch mode

I have also noticed the stray lines, one or two frames in the middle of an animation will have a couple of lines between seemingly separate parts. In perspective I just shift the view until they disappear, not sure what you can do in the elevation views.

With the problem of the missing shadows when you rotate the view, have you tried doing a full rebuild of the model in 3d at the new angle? PC alt+rebuild, Mac opt+rebuild. This might help, I cannot test it at he moment sorry.

This is a bug I have personally reported to both GSUS and GSBUD. It seems to happen mostly in a parallel projection and lines appear randomly between windows. Your example is quite mild compared to others I have seen (if that's any consolation - which I'm sure it's not! )

Other problems include no shading to the underside of roofs, and lines between walls (and slabs) that have exactly the same materials.

Unfortunately these are not fixed in 2256 but keep your fingers crossed for future releases!
