Hallo,
if we want to render large MicroStation models with a lot of trees and shrubs in it, MicroStation crashes while exporting the geometry to Luxology Renderer. We get this behaviour again and again on several files. It´s always the same. To get the file rendering, we remove some geometry like trees or accessoires or we are using a huge amount of shared cells. After that the rendering-process works fine again. But that´s not really a long term solution for this problem.
We reported this problem several times in the last year!!
It would be very nice if there would be a warning or a message, that the maximal geometry export size is reached or even an information about the limit. It would be even better, if this limit could be extended?
Someone told us in the near future there will be a ss4 Version? Will this thing be solved in ss4?
I send you two rendered image with this message. On both projects we got the described problems.
I hope you have some good news for me
Gerd
Hallo Wim,
thanks for your answer. This is another good tip to extend the limits a little bit. We spent a lot of time to get this overview picture rendering yesterday (Reducing Geometry, compress design using Shared Cells) . But there are still some limits of reducing geometry, if you want it in high resolution. ... and finally we get it rendering by using your trick. So it´s now shipped. This picture was rendered originaly with 8000 px the longest side.
Unfortunately it´s not a solution for every file-size. We tested it and the limits are still there.
Thanks very much for your help
