Hi all, hope you techie bods can help with this!
I have recently upgraded a 2012 Structures model to 2014 (via 2013 upgrade). I am doing a concrete frame building, and I use the Cut Pattern to shade things like columns, walls, foundations etc. in different shades of grey.
Using 2014, i have noticed that sometimes the Cut Pattern does not show properly, see first sketch attached. Upon further investigation, this shading problem only occurs when I use the Show Hidden Line tool. If I select the pilecap, and remove hidden lines, the Cut Pattern returns to be shaded properly (see second sketch). Select the Pilecap again and Show Hidden lines, the shading gets removed again, bu the piles shown dotted below do not display correctly.
This is a MASSIVE pain, as I use this method to do all sorts of draughting effects, on elevations, sections, plans, etc. It is a problem in all of these types of views.
I've checked it in 2013, and it displays perfectly. It obviously worked fine in 2012.
I have 1GB graphics card (Nvidia GTS450) but I have hardware acceleration turned off.
Any ideas anyone?!! 🙂
