OpenSCAD problem
June 13, 2013 03:17PM
I'm havine an issue with OpenSCAD and I'm pretty sure it's my computer, but I don't know what to do about it.

It seems to install as it should, and when I start it up, I can open sample objects and edit them. But when I try to render, it won't display anything.

The complie/render runs, the message window doesn't display any errors and it says "rendering finished". But in the 3D model window, I have nothing. Just a frozen image of the last thing that was in that portion of my screen, like a malfunctioning browser.

The laptop is running windows 7 and I haven't had any other problems with it, so I don't really know where to start. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Any help you could give would be greatly aprriciated.

Here is a picture of what my screen is doing, if it helps.

It uses OpenCSG and OpenGL for fast previewing of models.

Could it be that you don't have OpenGL support on your graphic card?

My laptop is a bit old, but it has a GeForce Go 6150 in it, so I know it supports OpenGL.

But you have given me a good place to start. I'll do a reinstall when I get home from work and check it out.
