[SOLVED] Hiding the menus worked with both... thanks for the help. Even though it's fixed, any explanation would be appreciated, unless it was just a glitch with SW or my graphics card.
GeForce 9300GE. I figured it must be a graphics issue but I wanted to be sure. I know it's not supported by SW. However, the interesting thing is I turned off all of the on-screen menus and it started consistently rendering properly in one of the two videos.
Thanks cor, I just tried turning Perspective mode on. The parts still get cut off, but now (if you look at the first picture I posted), the two left posts in the back now explode properly, instead of just the one. The rest still disappear behind that line. I have no idea why that would change...
Update/bump: I just tried a new motion study on a different computer (SW2010, Win7) and it is continuing to cut off the pieces at both ends of the big fixture. However, instead of disappearing like on the other computer, SW converts the parts to wireframe as they cross the "invisible plane"...
No one has any idea? It is now doing it in a second, completely new assembly, with a new animation. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=7af83417-288b-4f89-a0a6-bfe52597418e&file=still_not_working.JPG
I am trying to make a Solidworks animation (2010, Win7), and every time I try to have my model explode, it crops some of my parts as they explode outward. Instead of exploding off the screen, it looks like they go behind an invisible curtain. I attached a picture. It only happens to those...
Solved after looking through each feature again. When I added the long, sweeping split line, it split my body in two, which I guess changed one of my mirror references, from one of the engines to cover the entire body of the plane, thus doubling the entire thing. Pretty weird, but I just hid...
Any way to PM? Since it is a half personal, half work model, I can't post it publicly. Thanks a lot Jeff, you've been helping me out on several issues this summer.
Thats what I thought, but based on my interaction I have to conclude that it's only one surface... even acts like two surfaces when I paint. I can paint one part, and then the next, but can't select the two as different surfaces.
When I hide the split curves, only the lines disappear. When I...
Jeff, could definitely be the issue, but I don't think so just because it only happens during a very specific application, and have done similar splits that have no issues... but who knows, SW and the hardware together always make for some kind of random unpredictability.
Hardie, it's not...
I don't know the exact phrase for what is going on, but after applying a few split curves to a 727 I have created, all of my body faces are zebra striped when clicked. When I hide (not even suppress) one split curve, all of them disappear. Then, when I click a body face without the curves...
Ah got it, thank you. Now the last thing is that I did the curve split successfully on one wing. It won't let me do a feature mirror, so I decided to do a sketch mirror.
However, when I do "curve split" it does one wing right, and only parts of the second wing. Any idea why? It doesn't...
The problem I've run into in splitting is that, since I only want it to split the fuselage and tail, I need to roll back so it doesn't split through all of my parts. Then, when I roll foward, half of my rebuilds are incorrect since there is now a second body present, and any references to parts...
I have created a commercial airplane in Solidworks and I would like to finish it off in Photoview with a nice paint job. I was wondering if there was any way to just draw lines to define where a color ends, rather than having to extrude or cut in order to create a different surface.
The...
