Decal and X-ref

[akinlolu olugboji]

On their own the objects with decals render, when inserted as x-ref the decals not render is there a walk-around to this?

Put together an example that I can look at.

Problem suddenly go away when I closed and restarted AutoCad, X-ref now renders with decal. Thank you.

Problem back and it has to do with instancing. When I have only one of the x-ref  it renders fine as soon as I copy the X-ref (in this case 8) the decal stop rendering.

Here is the autocad file with four copied x-ref file at this point it will render. Add one more and the decal stops rendering.

Either as blocks or x-ref 1 to four blocks render's well five and beyond the decals do not render.

I looked at something similar not too long ago for Peter.  See if it works with the Path Tracer.

4 atm's or less renders with decal more than 4 atm's renders not.

If you want me to take a look at it you either need to bind the xrefs or include the file.

As a temporary workaround you can create two or more different blocks or xrefs from the same file.  Keep the number of each under 5 to avoid instancing kicking in.
