im getting a number of crashes on a simple model switching to shaded wireframe mode. anyone having this and is there a setting i need to change?

I'm confident it's not shaded or wireframe mode or we'd all have crashes the moment A:M started up.

Something else is wrong with that model.

Delete elements until something changes.

Need more information to know but...

This is generally a sign of graphics card problems.
Make sure you have your card's current drivers installed.

As you are on a PC, change your driver from OpenGL to Direct3D or vice versa in Tools/Options on the Global Tab.
Note: You may have to change it back to get other real time views or renders.

Ether you have a decal or you have a bias magnitude not set to default. in ether case the problem is in the render switch. And this seems to be only PC. so go back to 15g until the problem is solved and 15I comes out.

For clarification

I had made a too aggressive speedup optimization in V15.h . (shame on me ...)

This affects only multicore/hyperthreading systems (except mac's)

Symptom
- App crash

Happens
- when You switch to any shaded mode , with some cp's/ groups selected
- decals applied to the model , and they need to recalculated (importing model , changing decals etc .)

possible workaround
- deselect all, before switching
- set realtime decals to off

I think (fingers crossed) , I have catched this problems now , and hope we can release 15.i before christmas .

That's great news. I for one am appreciative you are continuing to advance the programs efficiency and speed in addition to fixing problems. So keep up the good work. My self included I know a group of us would be glad to beta test new versions and give detailed feed back if your interested. Even if you need us to test theories or tests that you are curious about before moving forward.

Hi All

I was having the same problem with 15.0h, so I downgraded back to 15.0g and that fixed the problem. After reading this thread, I'll just wait for 15.0i to upgrade.
