PROBLEM-rendering my model

[Anonymous]

I'm having a HUGE problem
Every time when I'm trying to make a render of my work ArchiCAD crashes! An "error notification" window is popping up and asks me if I want to send the bug report to Graphisoft...
Could anyone tell me why is this happening and how can I fix it, cause it has never happened to me before!?!

What are your computer specifications? This might help in finding the problem. Preferably use a 64-bit machine.
Do you have many light sources -> reduce them, especially window light.
Do you have large objects with many polygon. Download the polycount add-on an check them out.
What pixel size are you rendeirng?
Make renderings with few items in it and try to find a malfuctioning element. Tru the Filter Elements in 3D and start by showing only certain elements (for instance wall only and try a render)

First of all, thanks for the reply!
-The company that I'm working in, has made the computer configuration perfect for fast and easy rendering, I've never had any kind of problem using ArchiCAD...
-The house that I'm working on, is pretty small, has nothing else (yet) but walls, windows and doors... No any other objects or light sources, and that is the thing that confuses me the most

What render engine do you use?
Is the size larger than 32x32 pixels?
Does a file with a simple cube have the same problem?
Set rendering method to normal and antialiasing to the third step.

Lightworks Rendering engine, 100dpi, size: 600x600pixels... But even if I change anything (ex. 72dpi, or smaller size), it still crashes.
However, I've redrawn the house again, but I wanted to know what the problem is, just to avoid a situation like this for the next time.

I assume you mean 32K? Quite a while ago I think there was an upper limit of 4,000 pixels. I can't say I know what it is now. Is it 32K?

So it was a problem with the file?

BTW: The dpi setting is pretty much meaningless. It is just a default display/print size that most programs seem to largely ignore. It could matter if you are importing images into another program that doesn't allow for resizing (if such exists) or if you are doing a lot of them and want them to default to the correct size on placement.

Yeah, I guess the file had some problem... Cause it was ok, when I redraw it.

I'm just wondering what could be the reason for this kind of problem... Any idea????
As I wrote before, the house had only ext. walls, doors, windows and slabs... No any objects or lights!

If it's not recurring these's no need to know.
