Hi folks
I'm trying to render a large assembly, to file, with both model and contours, but get the message "SolidWorks is unable to obtain required memory". I have tried a lot of different settings without success. If I look at the task manager I'll hit the roof at about 1,5GB. I have 2GB ram and the swap file set to min 2048-max 3070 In PW options I have maximum memory allocation set to 2500 (tried everything all the way up from default 1000) Anybody knows if there is a certain limit for what PW or SW can handle in this case, coz it doesn't seem to matter which settings I use. Or could it be the physical size of the model, it's
43x57m and contains some round stuff, pipes and drums. I can manage to render it without contours, but only if I open the file and start rendering directly. If I do some changes first or render to screen to see what it looks like it stops far earlier. Tried it on two different computers with same result. SW 2004 Sp1 on W2K Sp4, 2x2,8GHz Xeon, Quadro4 900XGL.....or SW 2004 Sp1 on WXP Sp1, 1,7 GHz PentiumM Quadro FX 700 GoKrister L
