Presentation view causes ecabinets to shut down

Post by Gene Kimmi »

I downloaded build 13 on Thursday and had a problem with ecabinets going to a white screen and not responding when I loaded a job. A call to Thermwood fixed the problem by checking the "Use hoops double buffering" box in settings and preferences.

Yesterday, when I tried to use presentation view on a job, the "ecabinets has encountered a problem and needs to close" box kept popping up. It would do this when it started to find geometry. I have tried a couple different jobs and they all do this. I also noticed that dimensioning a wall of cabinets in the line drawing editor was very slow.

Has anyone else encountered these problems? Any fixes? Thanks.

Have you tried to update your video card drivers?

The last driver update that Dell has for the FX 2500M is from 2007, and I have it downloaded and installed.

Can you zip up the job and post it? Or you can send it to cabinets@thermwood.com

Gene,

I've sent you an email. I could not get your job file to crash. Please refer to my email with regards to the video drivers and/or updating your video card.

Gene,

We have discovered an issue with the Pull Detail option in the presentation view causing a crash situation. Please try the following and see if it takes care of your situation as well. Go to the Render View area, then select the Presentation Settings button on the left. Set the Pull Detail slider all the way to the Max position, then select OK. Now, perform the presentation view and see if it will complete successfully, then let us know your results.

I think I'm having the same problem. No more video card updates for me.

I can render. But I can't do anything with the render. As soon as I try to adjust the view, spin it, zoom it, whatever...it crashes the program.

I tried the pull render to max and I'm still having the problem. I've tried a few different jobs and all have the same result.

Leo,

After you get this crash, go to the event viewer and see what faulting module is listed. Also what graphics card do you have?

Scott,

That seems to have fixed it. I just took the job I had emailed into presentation view, and it worked fine. I will be working with other jobs over the weekend and the first of next week, if I run into similar problems, I'll let you know. Thanks.

Glad to hear that worked for you Gene. Not for me. I've done the pull to max and the hoops double buffering and still have an issue.

I've been playing around and if I create a room and render it I don't have any issues. If I put a display board or a display panel in there I also don't have an issue. If I put a display object or a molding I get a crash. If I put any cabinet in there (so far) I get a crash after it renders and I try to adjust it. Just a little more info to help with the bug finding. I hope. :mrgreen:

I just built a new bunch of cabinets from some older seeds and went to render it and it worked. I believe I have the pull setting on MAX. So it seems there is a version to version incompatibility issue. I'll keep playing. But at least I have my eCabs back for new jobs. :beer:
