Library Parts not fully generated in 3D

Anonymous — Fri, 07 May 2004 21:31:33 GMT

When generating 3D's some of the objects are not fully generated e.g. chair legs. While generating them these items are seen but once completed in shaded mode, they disappear. If selected on their own for generating they are fully generated!!!! The project is a large interior fit-out. Any ideas? Thanks. Paps

Which ArchiCAD, OS, machine?

Possible solutions:

- video drivers
- duplicates
- not enough memory
- incorrect lib parts (which ones are used?)

Djordje, Thanks for reply. Here are the specs.

ArchiCAD 8.1r3
OS Windows XP Home
Hardware:
Dell XPS T500
448 Mhz Ram
NVidia TNT 32 Video RAM

I did not experience this with ArchiCAD 7 at all.
Library parts are from ArchiCAD 8.1r3 Library.

Thanks again.

Paps

It might be your TNT card and its 32MB ... is it that you don't SEE it, or that it is not present at all? OpenGL or internal engine? What settings? Does redraw or rebuild help? Same problem in sections or elevations? How is it in rendering?

Should be 8.1R2. I have checked the Section and guess what there was a slab that was in the way. Sorry. However it had happened once before with a flat screen panel that would just convert the screen.!!!!
