If you have a fairly good video card, you may want to set this to 'high' in your preferences. By default this is probably set to 'low' but if you have the 'Edge Smoothing when Idle' turned on, you will see the same smoothing that you get when your preference is set to 'high' when your view updates. If you turn off Bloom in the Camera Specification dialog, the lights will look more like they did in X8.Īs for 'blurry lines', you should also check your Hardware Edge Smoothing setting under Render in your Preferences. 'Bloom' gives you more of a 'glow' around light sources. If you turn it down to 0% in your Camera Specification dialog, the view will look more like it did in X8. 'Ambient Occlusion' is giving you the darker shading in the corners. Or, maybe you would prefer a more non-photorealistic view by using a render technique such as vector view or technical illustration? If you don't want a more realistic view, you can turn off some of the improvements we made in X9. Standard Render views are faster and will look more photo-realistic in X9 then they did in X8.

This X9 issue exists in both of my computers.Ĭhief Architect Premier X8 – Standard View vs X9.docx I have attached screen shots to show the difference in X8 and X9.ĭoes anyone have this problem? I'm using iMac 27' 4GB Nvidia graphic card and Macbook 15'. This is bad news as I'm about to start designing kitchen and bathroom for a client this week.

I tried playing around by selecting various combinations such as Toggle Textures, Toggle Reflections, Toggle Shadows etc.

They didn't answer me directly but asked what options did I select (3D -> Camera View Options) I have raised a SSA support desk call questioning if there is a software bug in X9. I thought my plan files were corrupted so I opened them in X8 in Standard View (3D -> Rendering Techniques -> Standard), everything look normal. I have a couple of designs I created in X8 and when I opened them in X9, when I view them in Standard View (3D -> Rendering Techniques -> Standard), all the lines in the view are blurred. I have just recently upgraded from X8 Premier to X9 Premier.
