Also check the camera position is not 'inside' a piece of geometry. Unfortunately it will look fine in the OpenGL 3d window so you can't immediately tell, but will render blank.

One way to help solve it is by checking the contents of the 3D window, as this is what the rendering engine uses.
Then is the size of your render window bigger than the sze of your 3D window?
Cheers,

why dont you answer me? Im in trouble...please help me, i cant use sketch rendering...what should I do now?
Maybe attach a screen shot of the sketch settings.
Possible ideas -
- Is ArchiCAD fully up to date?
- Does the sketch engine work on other projects, or is it just this one?
- Can you open up the project on a different machine and render sucessfully?
- Are there too many polygons? Select just a few objects and try to sketch render those.
- Can you sucessfully render using the lightworks engine?
- Have you tried a different setting for the sketch engine - different sketch and line styles?
- Have you set the partial rendering setting at the bottom by mistake?
- Are you using a white pen set, for use with a black background on plan?
- Contact your local reseller?
- Last resort - Have you tried reinstalling ArchiCAD?

I'm out of ideas, Masoud! Sorry!
