FelixCat Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 Foreveryoung Maybe normals pointing to the wrong direction? In INFO - Geometry check Reverse Normals. Hope it helps. FelixCat Quote
RichardJoly Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 Maybe try with software vs hardware previews to see if it makes a difference. You can also try passing your fact file through Transporter. You can wait for someone with knowledge to answer correctly... Quote
Foreveryoung Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Posted December 21, 2011 Finally found out the problem is due to some hidden entity in the autocad file that is very far away that ruin the display buffer. Look like the display buffer have a distant limitation?? The model was model from an autocad dwg file. when the model was bought into formz, some very distant dwg entity are not deleted. I just pick the model from the sketchup file and copy and paste to another file and save it as Sketch up 6 file. open with form Z 6.62 and export to fact by layers solved the problem. Thank for all who responded:) Burney Quote
