Whenever I try to render from visualize 2018, I get a "Background Render Failed" message and it does not render. 2017 renders fine. What could be the problem? I found another post in the regular forum about someone having the same problem with 2017, but no one ever responded to them.
Hi Jeremy,
There is a related, known issue we are fixing in Beta3.
It occurs with newly imported models only. ie import a new SW model, try to render --> Background Render Failed. Is this what you are seeing?
To confirm if this is the issue, you can work around it...If you save the imported file first as a new Visualize Project, then close Visualize, Re-start Visualize, and load the project you just saved. Then you should be able to render it.
Yeah. I think so. I was exporting simple, and then just render. I'll try that save and reopen shortly.
Hi Jeremy,
Please post any 2018 beta issues in the Visualize section of the 2018 Beta forum. Here's the link to the beta forum; just click Visualize on the left column to get to the Visualize section.
The SW Beta team is monitoring that forum and should respond.
