This it 2 3D solid shapes in realisitc mode when I 3DO them, they are fairly large in size but I am running 3GB and a very new computer, is there a wat to make it show 3D when rotateting it! Thanks :)

Looks like you have 2D Wireframe as your Visual Style. Why didn't you use Conceptual or Realistic?

Posted

no I am thats the point, these are not blocks they are shapes, but when I rotates them in realistic mode they show up like this!

What graphics card are you running?

 

Have you set up performance tuning yet?

Posted

I am running a NVIDIA Quadro FX 1600M 512MB its a work computer I am not sure what performace tuning is hehe

Posted

is it displayed like this all the time or only during rotation?

 

sometimes with larger or complex shapes the images turn to blocks so you can quick rotate. There is a setting for this but i cant remember what it is off hand.

Gads...with a card like that you shouldn't have a problem in the world.

 

Command entry: 3dconfig

 

From the Browser Button (the big red A). Tools menu > Options > System tab > Performance Settings. In the Adaptive Degradation and Performance Tuning dialog box, click View Tune Log.

I can't image that a card of that calibre would have a problem with just two box shaped solids no matter what their size.

the 3dconfig works! but I understand why the FPS setting is there oh man!

 

the thing you have to understand is while you all may work on parts, buildings an equipment, I work with mines, the 3d object I am trying to rotate is a ore body which runes KM long and is hundreads of thousands tons in rock, I took off the adaptive FPS setting and I can rotate it but oh man is it laggy!

 

 

Thanks guys :)

If you are still experiencing the "stutters" then you might want to shut down other applications via Taskmanager. You could turn off your antivirus program too.

 

What OS are you running?

For what you are doing could the image size be scaled down? Has the drawing been purged? Are all unnecessary layers frozen?
