No visible nodes

Post by Carmen Addamo »

Since the last build I cannot actually see any nodes. Everything works as if the node is present but not able to see them. I can align parts, measure , move walls etc. but I am left guessing until I complete whatever function I am attempting to preform. Same issue on multiple computers. Anyone have the same issues or any possible explanations.

The node you are speaking of are they the same as the ones that show up when you hit "M" on the key board? Or is it the "grid" on the room layout...

David is your attachment from the main screen of the cabinet editor? If I press the "M" key I get no nodes in cabinet editor. In my attachment you can see I am able to measure point to point but there are no visible nodes at the endpoints of the red line. Same thing if I try to move a wall in custom layout. I can highlight a wall and click on it's corners (anchoring points) and move the wall but no blue or red nodes are visible to let you know an anchor point has been selected.

Carmen,

I would suggest making sure your graphics card driver is up to date from the manufacturer. Don't check through Windows, it can give you wrong information or get you the wrong driver. Always go directly to the manufacturer's site for driver updates. I'm curious, if in Settings/Preferences, check the boxes for Force Software Rendering and Use Graphics Double Buffering. Restart eCabinets and see if the nodes appear for you. In the main screen of Cabinet Editor you should be able to press and hold M on your keyboard to display the nodes.

Okay Clint. To resolve the problem I had to un-check "force software rendering". Thanks again for your help.
