Issue 0, Wireframe clearly being displayed wrong...

Post by Jill »

The 1st issue I have is that when any wireframe is displayed it is always in some odd and somewhat orthogonal way...

In the 1st picture notice the wireframe is all screwed up on orientation with the solid model so you don't know exactly where the lines are on the 3D model.

This makes it about impossible to work on the model especially when working with selected components.

In the 2nd picture notice the wireframe mode for the working ground plane is clearly just being drawn as a 2D overly on the view.

Any ideas how to fix this? :?:

The 2nd is in the fact that you conveyed it to ME. :lol:

Stan has a point Jill.
Could you list your system specs?
OS, video card, directx version?

And welcome to the forums! :bananacheers:

Don't look at it, or let it see you, but update your DX and vid card drivers BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

It looks to me like you are
displaying a U/V editor wire frame

Workspace is very sensitive to video cards, drivers, and such. As the tech advances it will be left behind. Model side, and old TS versions, can use DX and OpenGL but don't need it. Of course, with no future development, all of TS will eventually be obsolete unless you keep an old machine/system for it.

I can see two View Widgets too, in your screen capture! One of the issue that the Unofficial Update solves. BTW: tS7 was built upon DX9c.

I remember DirectX9C being a requirement. "C" being important too.

• Windows Vista, XP or XP Pro.
• Pentium 3 or equivalent AMD Athlon (Pentium4 or equivalent AMD Athlon recommended)
• 512 MB RAM (1 GB or more recommended)
• 460 MB free hard disk space
• 3D video card with at least 64MB of video memory (DirectX9, full Pixel Shader 2.0 support, and 128MB or more video memory highly recommended)

My laptop has DX9c on it and the drivers are as up to date as they can be... it is a compaq presario R3000, so it is not new.
I discovered that it is VERY sensitive as I put tS on a memory card and x-fered it to my best xp desktop which has an nvidia card [and is not on the net or new] and it all works fine [doesn't have either of the issues], but on my laptop it just behaves badly, which is not surprising considering it has an ati chip on it and ati's are cheap for a reason as they are notorious for not being fully compatible and having issues.

Thank you all for your efforts.
