Missing Patches

[Simon Edmondson]

Having a spot of bother with patches going missing.

I have prepared a street model for the new project using V15

 

Copied the model file and the chor over onto another machine using V17J to build up a town using the duplicator wizard

When I open up the file in V17 alot of the patches go missing

 

Previously I have modeled in V15 and imported into V17 without trouble. The warning message comes up, but there has never been a problem.

This time there was no warning, but it did have a problem.

Can anyone kindly suggest a solution ?

You have a bunch of flipped normals, Simon.

 

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

I'm puzzled why they flipped in the copying and transfer . Not encountered that before?

Have a look at you realtime settings. i'd say in v15 you have "show backfacing patches" on and in the other version it is off.

 

See you

Pardon my ignorence.

I just looked for the Realtime setting and couldn't spot them.

Could you refresh my memory as to where they are ?

Hi Simon,

 

go to "Tools > Options > Rendering", switch the selection-box to "Shaded" (or "Shaded Wireframe" and it should be available below.

 

See you
