Disapearing model!

Apr 23, 2004 7 Replies

Hi,



I've had a few instances in 2k4 where the model and showing planes disappear though invisible walls and back again when the model is rotated, it is not repeatable and seems to come and go without any apparent logic, anyone else seen this? I had something similar with SW2k1



TIA

Do you maybe have large assy mode turned on for those instances?

Other thought is video card and/or driver. What are you running there?

...I'm running a Elsa Gloria a 64meg card now supported by NVIDIA, now you mention it I think I my driver is not the one recommended by SW.

No, large assembly is not on, it was a single part! with only a few lofts?

Best,

Jag,

It's just a temporary clipping plane generated by OpenGL. It does this with all graphics cards. I've even seen it on old SGI UNIX machines with Pro-E and Ideas.

If you toggle perspective on and off it usually goes away

I have seen this in 2k3 I never could pinpoint why, we do have recommended drivers. It was very rare though.

I have a part (with lofts), shelled, and the inside of it is 'invisible'. It has been created with 97+, and translated to every version up to 2001+ with the same effect. Not tried with 2004 yet.

Mark - I have had this problem for several years, on and off, and have never been able to corect it. I will try the perspective on/off and see what happens next time. However, I am not using the software OpenGL. I'll try it anyways.

I emailed my VAR about some weird disappearing acts that might be glitches in SWX 2003. He said that the BlueBeam PDF addin was know to cause such problems until SWX 2K4 SP2. I was reporting suppresses components in assmeblies though.
