<t>I ended up breaking down the file for sections of the building. LL UL middle and R so that the files complexity allowed me to render a 3d image without all the graphics anomalies. It worked enough and I was careful enough that I could stitch together (sort of) a full size graphic for the main ...

<t>There was no furniture and never would be. it was used to generate a 3D image for future HVAC location layout. spit out a png, cut out specific rooms and set small landing pads for RC Studio readouts of temp and airflow etc. The only time I ever used furniture was on small 3 and 4 floor domestic ...

<t>well at any-rate, the Xeon processor in my tower seems to cause the SH3D to spew graphics glitches where as my i5 laptop puts out smooth clean renders from the same file used on the Xeon. Would love to know wtf was going on but suspect that's not going to happen.<br/>
IT was a good run but looks ...

Unfortunately the Xeon processor does not make friends with SH3D.
Looking at Sketchup and Revit (I lean towards Revit)

we found out that SH3D doesn't even touch the GPU. everything is done cpu.

<t>OK, interesting development. The PC I've been doing all this work on was a brand new PC put together by our IT department specifically for heavy duty graphics design. it has 16 GB of Ram and a Quadro K620 graphics card as well as a Xeon E3-1245 processor 3.5GHz 64bit windows 10 Enterprise. this ...

OK, It didn't exactly work. The moment I added more to the building it started developing the glitches again. I made walls 80000mm tall around the building and made it one room. still ran into the problem. I'm starting to think that this program is not up for the needs requirements of the job.

<t>That worked only slightly and, it wasn't until I put a wall around the entire project and THEN made it a room, that the graphics glitches went away for now. I still have 2 more floors to do before this project is done. I also had to scale the project down form it's original size. 50% of original ...

<t>OK, I''m not sure I understand that but This is what I've done so far. I have increased the render size with no effect. I increased the actual size of the building (a school) to 200% and found that the shadows and glitches get worse. If I shrink it to 100m or under in size it cleans up perfectly ...

I found that I get all sorts of lines and graphics glitches if the object I create is over 100m in size. Under a 100m it is pristine and perfect render. WTF?
