I am having a problem with my system crashing. Ever since I have upgraded to X6 the program crashes my system numerous times. I have tried closing all additional programs and running only CA-X6 and it still crashes. It does seem to be during the same instances of either during a 3d overview or scrolling in and out with my cursor. Obviously there is a problem with X-6 if I am not the only one having an issues as well.

I can say that I don't think that it is my computer, I have a fast up to date computer.

Thanks to all who have replied this has been a great help. I have been a die hard AutoCAD Designer for years and want to get away from it for the most part so this is a learning curve and I am still trying to make some Denero in the process. Changing the material class helped bigtime as well as putting the light behind the camera. OP out

Hopefully this is a better view of the settings. Thanks

Here are my Raytrace settings. I will try and turn off the cast shadows and see if that works. Thanks for all the responses

These are my settings. I don't have a problem with overheating or dust as I am very meticulous and clean my machine all the time. I have seen better renderings by Wendy who says that she runs the Raytrace and it only takes her a max of 2.5 min. Also why is is so hard to create a custom railing. In this staircase I had to create to lower stairs just so one can extend outside the wall. Then when I to create a railing it messed everything up and I just had to make my own. The railing issues is a big deal to me that I think CA needs to fix and get right.

I seem to have been having an issue with X6 crashing my system. It seems to be only happening while I am running a Raytrace but on other occasions just opening an item an modifying it. Has anyone else had any issues with X6 crashing?

Kirk, I too am having this issue along the Raytrace taking too long. I understand that to reduce the time I can save just the area that I want to Raytrace and delete everything else but doesn't that negate the point. I am doing a simple kitchen Raytrace no Photo mapping and after 10 passes or 10 min. it still has not completed the Raytrace.
