[Equest-users] is there a way back from this error?

Hi Sami,

Yes, large model with lots of custom polygons......the message is gone, project loads but I still can't view the 3-D, I see the shells only in 2-D.
*I got several responses from various users on the camera reset, latest being from Josh Greenfield that I'm pasting it below, since interesting thing-Josh can see the 3-D pix from the zip file I sent, but I can't.....go figure?!?

Anything else I can try on my end?
It's weird that Umesh and Josh can see the 3-D from model I sent and I'm not able to.

Best,
N

The file took a long time to open for me, but the 3D came right up...

...maybe try saving the .PD2/.BDL/.INP in a new folder with just those 3 files and try opening.

Josh,
Found your posting below on the 3-D fun in equest, but didn't work. Anything else you can add before I go back and try to recreate?
Model runs/loads but I still can't see the 3-D in equest-it's not even an option.
Thx,
Nikola

If any of the values in there are HUGE (probably with exponents) then
just change them to zero...save...re-open eQuest. These values are just
used by the eQuest camera so you're not changing any shell positions or
anything.

Nikola,

Don't worry about it - I've had that message come up before. It didn't affect anything - it was a pretty large model with a number of custom polygons - is that what you have too?

Hi,
I get the following error multiple times when trying to finish a retirement center with multiple bld's, shells and units....equest runs a long time.
Is there a way to fix it or I go back to my previous files to retrieve left over info? The 3D is not generating looks like adding last bld's did it...
Thanks,
Nikola
