HumbleChief Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Thanks Jonathan - It's very close. Just spoke to and sent the plan in to tech support. They didn't know the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg_NY61 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Larry, I think this happened to me before, and by placing a check mark Hide Terrain Intersected by the Building solved that problem. Check make sure that window has a check mark in Terrain specification box in General tab way at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Does it only manifest using a specific camera type (does it also happen in vector view for instance?). What are you render camera settings? Try changing the settings and see if that helps at all. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJP Only in the 'Perspective Floor Overview' and I really don't want to change my camera settings as this hasn't happened ever in any other plan so I don't want to mess up the settings that have been very very good to his point.

Greg_NY61 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 NP Larry, I would also try and change the material of the terrain maybe something happened to that material, who knows.... because it looks like its happening throughout the whole terrain.

dshall Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Definitely not Z-Fighting - confirmed with tech - but it kinda sorta looks like it. No problem here Larry. I think it is your computer and not the file or CA's issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Went to full overview is it normal you don't show fascia.gutters soffits etc there are none.......except over front entrance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Perspective Floor Overview showed the problem and it's coming and going now. One view port is good another bad. Still on Win 7, all vid drivers up to date. Never seen it before and seems to be plan specific. I created some custom materials and seemed to happen after that but makes no sense that that's the problem. Probably going to have to chalk it up to experience and just get r through this plan and presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 This is a self-shadowing problem non-legacy shadows have that is related to z-fighting. How far is the camera from the model? These shadow artifacts will occur when the camera is far from the model, and since zooming using the scroll wheel doesn't move the camera, you may not realize how far the camera is from the model.

HumbleChief Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 No problem here Larry. I think it is your computer and not the file or CA's issue. No other plan shows nor has ever showed this so the computer is probably fine. It's just this plan and will probably have to live with it. Tech can't see or find a problem either.

Camera is however far is it when clicking the button. Never adjusted or had to mess with camera distance before but I'll check it in plan view. Thanks Brad..

Kbird1 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I think you only get shadows in Full Overview , assuming they are on in the Render Prefs. not in Floor overviews Did you try turning off Soft and Legacy shadows in the Render Prefs ? I have both off by default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never adjusted or had to mess with camera distance before but I'll check it in plan view. Thanks Brad.. I was surprised by how little I needed to move the camera before these artifacts started showing on my machine. In other plans, the camera usually needs to be much further away before there are problems, and you start seeing typical Z-fighting issues before these shadows. Did you try turning off Soft and Legacy shadows in the Render Prefs ? I have both off by default Legacy shadows shouldn't have these artifacts.
