    suddenly, the wireframe option under materials tab does not work. i dont get any error. i just go to materials, select new, select wireframe, then color, then drag to selected text. i go to test and its still solid!!!

    is there a selection i need to activate it or something? it was working last week.

    thanks.

    Hi global,

    Be sure you have the material that’s actually applied to the object in the same material editor thumbnail when you check the wireframe box. You can double check this by selecting the object and looking at the material set-up window for the object. The material you’ve applied to the object will be in the material bin(s).

    I suspect you may be changing the rendering mode to wireframe for a material that’s in the thumbnail by default, rather than the one that’s applied to the object. If need be, drag the material over to the editor and click on the wireframe option.

    Does this help?

    Hi Jon:

    Yes…i tried it both ways….by selecting and dragging the default wireframe material options available and also by creating them by >new material>wireframe>color>drag>test

    yes the text was “select all”

    neither worked.

    i did this last week and it worked fine.

    Hi Global.

    Are rendering with the Invigorator Renderer or the Hi-Quality GL Renderer?
    You can check this in the Camera tab below the 3D preview in the Set-Up window.

    Wireframe rendering isn’t supported in the Hi-Q GL Renderer.
    Make sure you’re using the Invigorator Renderer.

    If you’d like for me to take a look at your project, you can send it to: matt@zaxwerks.com

    Let us know if you have any more questions.
