Athlon X2 with ATI FireGL V3400 video card...

Earlier versions of Bcad didn't have rendering problems.

Has anyone else noticed issues with the new rendering modes?

  • The same problem occurs on Windows7 (64), Windows XP (32), Windows Vista (64)...

    all with current video card drivers...hmm

  • Found this on the web...I believe Bricscad uses the Redway lib...(This should be part of the System Requirements statement for Bricscad)

    A GPU-accelerated wireframe render mode (based on Redsdk technology from Redway3D®) requires a supported graphic processing unit (either a chip on the board, or on a video card). The latest video drivers are typically required. Newer boards with more power and VRAM generally provide greater performance. To determine if your video card or personal computer is compatible refer to your System Specifications, or contact the manufacturer of your video card and see if it uses one of the following video chipsets:

        NVIDIA chipsets
            GeForce 8 Series
            GeForce 9 Series
            GeForce GTX Series
        AMD ATI chipsets
            R600 family
            R700 family
        INTEL chipsets
            GMA 4000 family
     
    Windows Vista and Windows 7 Aero display mode causes interference with the Redsdk GPU-accelerated display mode.
    It affects only the transparency of the application window border.
  •  Are you using the latest release of BC?  I reported some (similar) issues with the rendering a couple of versions ago but they have been remedied? 
  • Yes, Thank You Daniel...the latest version.
    At the office they don't have the issues i have but they have different video cards etc...
    The windows side of CAD on my home system is working trouble-free with other
    software so i have moved on to the Linux version of Bricscad...
