BillsburgChief Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I am not sure what is happening but I am guessing this file might be corrupt, but wanted to see if anyone has had a similar problem. Sometimes I can't seem to generate orthographic full overview or any exterior elevations. I am able to generate perspective full overview and than able to select vector view from that. Also a lot of times Chief will generate a fatal error "Serious error occurred (SEH)" and crash. Anyone want to give it a shot? File is attached.

Chopsaw Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 What actually happens when it fails and what video card are you running ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I can generate views without problems on my system. I think Chopsaw is on to something with the video card idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsburgChief Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 My graphics card is a AMD FirePrp v5900 (FireGL V), I dont seem to have this problem w/ any other files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsburgChief Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 It seems to me that it is zoomed in way to much, sometimes I'll just see a line that I cant seem to zoom out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Open view and hit F6 key. It should fill your screen with the captured view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Side note - I would be careful with that sideway stud idea on the dormers. That may not have enough R-value to get through an inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Updating the Drivers perhaps..... Plan is fine here but I am running a Nvidia GPU and X10..... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsburgChief Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Javatom - I've tried to fill window (F6) to no no avail. Most of the time (90%) I try to generate the views it does not work, just blank white screen, other times it generates w/ no problems. It will also seem to happen if I try to undo a command...

Chopsaw Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Billy, I was able to open your file on my system in X7 and reproduce your issues. White screen with Orthographic or Elevation views but no crash or error code. Not likely a video card driver issue but it is a little slow generating even a perspective view for some reason so possibly a memory issue. How many gigs is your card ? I can bring the plan file forward on my system to see what happen if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily GPUs have dropped alot in Price since last year..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsburgChief Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Chopsaw - Yes I can generate perspective Standard render view (the only view I can generate from plan view) but from the Standard render view I'm able to change it vector. Just a guess, but do you (or anyone else) think it could be related to the Flemish brick pattern I created on the exterior brick areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely but it would not hurt to try swapping that out for something stock temporarily as a test. Just pulled your plan through to X8 and all the elevation and section cameras work as well as orthographic views. Might find the odd little surprise here and there though.

There is no texture for the Brick only a Pattern , so I would try a standard CA Brick to see if it helps..... Plan is okay in X9 too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
