bdcustomhomes 0 Posted October 29, 2014 I'm using the default exterior wall siding-6 which includes one layer of chief wrap. I've added several wall coverings on top of the exterior of this wall. When I view 3d perspective full overview the chief wrap layer bleeds through the exterior coverings slightly giving a strange appearance. See attached file of what it looks like. Anyone know how to fix? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katalyst777 708 Posted October 29, 2014 Probably more of a thing to send in to the company's Technical Support team than something we'd be able to help with here in the forum, but maybe look in to updating your video card's driver. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kbird1 158 Posted October 30, 2014 and what happens if you remove the wall coverings you added? save a copy of your plan 1st ,under another name(s) for backup and then "play" with one of them . I'd say video driver but try standing closer or further away from the view try changing the clipping distance under 3D settings try changing the thickness of your wall coverings if possible if not try adjusting their transparency.

bdcustomhomes 0 Posted October 30, 2014 kbird1 you nailed it. If I move the camera just a little closer than the default the problem goes away otherwise nothing else worked. Also using hd pro 2014. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kbird1 158 Posted October 30, 2014 The issue is called z-fighting , I use Pro 10 and see it occasionally but I find it is more of a problem in 2015 Trial for eg. you can change the default clipping distance to eg 400 default is 300 I think and see if that helps but if you do a search here or on the old Forum (better?) you will get more tips too , also try Chieftalk and it's legacy forum. sometimes if possible in your software you can eliminate it by making one material thicker , as the are "fighting" for the same space in 3D and the thicker one will hide the thinner. This used to be an issue sometime if you drew your model too far away from the Origin of 0,0 , which is usually approx. in the bottom left hand corner of the window when you open a new plan ,closer is better but it doesn't have to be exact.
