When rendering nxt - autocad error

[Ian Foster Griffith]

Hi All

Autocad box pop's up when rendering in walkabout - rendering pass.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. Parameter is not valid.

Details tab and a Continue tab in box.

Continue tab sends me back to autcad walkabout without crashing the program.

------------------------------------------------------------------

This happens when the model is large and I'm looking at a small part of it . Any thing I'm doing wrong or just asking nxt to mush.

Should I dumb down the resolution?

 

Info - Computer AMD phenom quad core 965 with 8GB Ram, both 32bit and 64bit windows running. build 279 - autocad 10 32bit.

 

Thankful for your comments.................

You're likely running into the 32bit address space limitation.  (Let me know if this is happening in the 64 bit version-- in that case the problem is something else.)

If you haven't done so already, you may be able to increase your address space from 2GB to 3GB which could temporarily relieve the problem.  The only cure for large data sets and high-res images is moving to the 64 bit version.

Thanks for replying

 

Yep, sound right the same thing happened in AR4 when a tried to load large models.

So you are talking about Virtual memory settings(paging file) in performance option - advanced tab.

It currently 2046mb, I sholud increase to 3000mb right.

No.  This website for Rhino has some good information.
