gesaugen Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hi ppl! I've encountered a strange bug in Acad while trying to render a 3D drawing of my kitchen. It seams like Acad looses a connection btw shapes and it+s dimensions, shown on this screen capture here: now, the problem is that I can't render anymore, no matter what I do. It just makes my screen black after rendering, like I was rendering a blank screen... anyone has an idea how to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Dimensions will never render. I don't know about the black screen.... there could be several problems. Can you upload the file? :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Why do you need the dimensions in your render? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gesaugen Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Why do you need the dimensions in your render? I've meant by dimension a length and hight of objects, and not a graphical option to show dimension... here's the file: http://rapidshare.com/files/48198005/kuhinja_2.zip another thing: a drawing is associated with textures in .jpg files, but i don't know how to paste a texture over a solid, and that a texture is there permanently, no matter on who's PC it's been watched...

Cad64 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 First thing you need to do is turn off the sun. Unless your kitchen is outside in the backyard, the sun should not be on. Second thing you need to do is add at least one light to your scene. Try adding a spotlight. I did these two things with your model and it rendered fine. There were no textures included in your zip file, but here is the result I got: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gesaugen Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 back from vacation... anyway, I've figured out what was wrong: A drawing itself has become corrupted in some way, so I've copy a content of drawing and paste it on new blank sheet... now everything works fine... still, imho, ACAD is pretty buggy piece of software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADken Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 also, AutoCAD isn't known for it's rendering capabilites, VRAY or other outsource programs do a much better job. also another to remember: update your video/graphics drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Where can I get more information about VRAY ? Just "Google" Vray, here are some links: http://www.chaosgroup.com/ http://vray.info/ http://www.vrayelite.com/ Remember, Vray is a rendering program for use with 3DS Max. It doesn't work for Autocad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisRose Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I have been making sheet sets of 3d blocks for my company and i can plot one rendered image on a frame sheet save it delete the origanal block & insert another one & sometimes for some strange reason when i render after all i get is a blank screen. God knows why but i have a sneaky susspicion that it has something to do with the viewport...One day i might find out why if i do il let you know.

east§ide Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Just out of curiosity, is your kitchen model based off of real world dimensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisRose Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I found out today that in AutoCAD 2008 i was gatting a blank screen while rendering i switched to perspective view and back and then it rendered fine...? Dont know if this would work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschwartz Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Check the LIGHTINGUNITS command. Switch it from to or possibly the other way around. This resolved the problem for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I hope the OP has already solved his problem. This thread is from 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
