Missing stuff when render, realistic or hidden???????

[Murphy625]

Is this a bug? Autocad 2012.. WinXP.

I've had this problem from the very first time I started drawing.. I'll draw in an item and it will disappear during a render or hide or in realistic view.

 

First it was the legs on my tank that were drawn directly into the drawing.. I drew one leg then did a polar array for the rest of them.. I couldn't get them to show up in Render until I exploded the array..

 

Now, I stuck in a 1/2 inch bolt (block) from another file, and a 1/2 inch nut (another block) and then copied it 16 times around the tank. They disappear on me except when in wireframe view.

 

Any suggestions?

I moved your thread to the AutoCAD 3D Modelling & Rendering Forum.

 

Try REGEN3

Same problem discussed and solved here: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?75576-inserted-3d-solid-blocks-not-visible-unless-2d-wireframe

Yes, probably related to your graphics card as mentioned in the other thread.

It would seem that this issue is in fact related to arrays and by exploding the array after creating it, the problem went away.. Thanks!!
