White Surfaces in Bimx

Brett Brown

Hi all, Why am I getting all white surfaces in the 3D model coming out as light gray in the Hyper model? Both the 3D model and Hyper model use the internal /open GL engine so why are they not the same?

Earlier versions of Bimx use to open in the Hyper model, now it opens in the 3D model and you have to select the "browse hyper model" then "open 3D model" when I only have the one view. Is this the normal way now?

Any quick setting to stop all the weird shadows created at the intersection walls to ceilings and sometimes furniture sitting close to the walls?

Cheers

Maybe there is a problem with the dimensions of the image (number of pixels, maximum is 1920x1200), not the file size.

If I click the error triangle after the file name it states the file has to be under 500kb, files are under the pixel size limit

This is strange, I have checked in the Administration part of the forum and the maximum file size for any attachment is set to 5 MB, which is a global setting. I will investigate.

Can you show a screenshot that shows the error message that you get when you try to attach that file?

Brett, can you now try to attach this same image to a post?
The forum database guy made some modifications to attachment-related settings.
I would like to see if it helped in your case or not.
