Mechanisto Help

Mechanisto always crashes when I try to change the angle of a camera or light. Does anyone have a diagnosis for this problem? It's getting really annoying.

I found that Mech. crashes less when
A) you save often- like after everytime you make a change
🆒 you open the application and use the open command to open what you want (opposed to opening the file you are working on)
C) after rendering a picture close the window it created before you render something again.

never had any trouble with your problem

If you look far enough on the horizon, there will always be a cloud.

That stuff usually works. Also, try increasing the memory.

Apparently, common sense isn't so common...

Yeah, I do all that. What happens is this: I place an object (let's say a sphere, for the purposes of discussion). I immediately try to change the camera angle, and Mechanisto crashes. I allot plenty of RAM to it. The same thing happens when I try to change the light source angle.

Never had any trouble with that, and I worked with Mechanisto for almost 3 years. Strange. 😕

Can Your computer handle all the RAM you're alloting Mechanisto?

Usefull flying tip# 1:when sheilds are low, hit the afterburners and jump.

Try deleting the preferences.

I am allotting 24MB of RAM, and my computer has about 55MB after the Finder gets its share.

By the way, I think I fixed the problem. Maybe.
