Bug with wall

Garruth

Hi,

First, sorry for my poor english, i am french ^^

I have a strange bug with my Wall in DD3, the bitmap on top of the wall disappears when I change scale in my view. I am a beginner and maybe I did something wrong. I joined you two images (one with and without effect ) or you can see the problem. If you have a solution I'm interested, because this deficiency appears even on prints.

thanks in advance

Hi Garruth,
Welcome to the forums and to CC!

I think I notice several things:
1. The top image seems to have Sheet Effects turned off while the bottom sheet has Sheet Effects on with directional wall shadow effect.
2. The affected walls seem to be thinner.
3. The bit map seems to still be present on these walls, just darker - but it's a bit hard for me to see in the image.

Does this only happen when you turn sheet effects on? Or is it caused only by view scale changes as you mentioned above?

Is it possible that those thinner walls may be on a different sheet with some different effects applied than the sheet with the thicker walls?

Can you post the FCW file of the map? That would allow us to look at the problem in detail.

I'd recommend not using the same bitmap fill for the walls as for the background, or at least putting a sheet below the WALLS sheet with a copy of the walls in solid fill style, otherwise the overlap of the same bitmaps can lead to all kinds of problems with sheet effects.
