Disapearing model!

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

 

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.
