The assembly was rendering file - I was adding colours etc and doing tests.
Then afew components did not render - they were invisable on the render.

Then it has stopped altogether.

Where should i start to retreive the situuation

the log file is below

I have just restarted Solidworks and it has rendered - but atlot of parts are just invisible.

===================


Line 52 to 67 seem significant - any ideas on what it means?



Jonathan

[jjs]

got it to render

Had to go back to each part - delete all materials assigned and then assign a maerial to the part 'Body' of every component

Just goes to show that if thing are going astray - a material assignment glitch is the first thing to look at.

Anyway - onwards to the deadline

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for posting the logs, I have one other similar report and I'm trying to track down the cause.

Cheers,

JD

[JDHill]

Well, I've been working on this for awhile and I am still unable to duplicate the issue. I am working with multiply-nested assemblies and parts with Materials assigned at various levels, but still no error. Is there any small detail you can think of that might help me to build a model similar to the one you were using here?

Thanks...

[jjs]

I have to get these rendering out the door - but then I'll try and replicate problem - then no problem - I'll email you the sw assembly for you to play with.


day after tommorrow OK?

Jonathan

[JDHill]

That would be great.
