3D PDF error - Engineering contents of active model could not be loaded.

Hello, when trying to generate a 3D PDF of a bridge beam I get the error shown in the subject line and the PDF file is blank.  Is there a limit on how many elements that can be included in a 3D PDF?  Here is an image of what I'm trying to produce....

thanks,

  • Try the following for me in the print dialog box: Go to Settings -> 3d Plotting -> General -> Minimum Element Size (Meters):
    adjust the value of this setting.
    When on, and set to a non-zero value, specifies a size threshold in master units where any element below the threshold is not exported to the output file. This enables you to filter out small details in a design without compromising the features of the model.
    This setting is useful in very busy models.

  • Hi ED:
    Your method is really helpfull ! I set the General -> Minimum Element Size (Meters): 0.01. and got right result.
    Let me discribe the error more clearly. My main model is attached 50 reference now. It's ok if i attach 2 or 3 but crash when there are so many.
    After a long time processing,it come out a blank pdf with nothing in it !Or it says the problem above.[OnNewModelRef]]
    Interesting
    Now i can continue
    Thank you ED !
