Hi there...

So I am rendering a bird's eye view with lovely revit trees. I keep going to render and some of my trees dont render and just disappear. So I am having to reopen my revit session and/or reboot to get them to show up. I think that the problem is becasue our material libraries are on our network server and its pretty overloaded. Is there a way to keep my main materials libary on the server but have the tree library on my own computer. I am the only one who does trees. Where is the tree library originally located when you load revit to your computer?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Ahh, the plant library has a file extension of plib.  Similar the material library has an extension of mlib...  However, it will depend on the actual individual plants as to where there bmps, jpgs and alphas etc are located.  Seems like a strange issue though if it works sometimes and not others.

It really is the weirdest thing. Because I will do a test renders and move things around and go to render again and then half my trees dont render the second time. If I reload my revit seccion or sometime even reboot then they will work for a couple more renders. It could make a person loony!

Sounds like it could be a Virtual Memory issue on your machine.  Ensure you have the 3Gig switch enabled and your page file size set to a fixed amount.

 

Also, there are programs out there that free up your RAM/VM from memory hogs such as revit - mind you I haven't had any real success with this method.  When rendering it uses a lot of memory...

 

HTH.
