Hi,

I worked with ViaCad Pro 11 in the first months of 2019. I used Constant Chamfer a lot and it worked like a charme.
In these days I updated to the last version and It doesn't work anymore.

I attach a screenshot with a super-easy example:

I used a chamfer on a cube. Usually the geometries where simple and clear, now as you can see there are some dirt.
This is obviously an example, I tried it on other shapes, other dimensions, etc...the problem is bigger and affect the final result and the exportation on other 3d format.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong,but I worked as usual and now I have this.
Is there a way to fix it?

Thanks, have a nice day!

Those look like silhouette curves in the display list. If you change resolution do they go away?

Okay, I found out a stranger thing:

If you close the file and the program, then you'll re-open it, the glitch/bug desappear and the geometries are clean and correct.
This is clearly a BUG.

Yes I made different test. If this can help you I give some info:
- I tried with simple and complex combination of chamfer
- Using multiple chamfer creates additional lines and if you export in 3ds for example and import it in an another 3d program you can see all the broken geometries
- But if you close everything ( after the chamfers ) and restart the application the same geometry are now clean, and the exportation is good, because I tried to import the exportation on another 3d program and the geometries are also clean. It seems the restart repair the geometries.

Hope you find a solution :D

If you switch from wireframe and back to solid, it gets rid of it too. Looks like a graphical issue with the video card.

I believe it is the silhouette curves. Correction is in build 1502 for confirmation.

I don't think it's only a graphical issue because if you export it the problems stay and you can see them in other 3d softwares.
About the Graphic Card I'm using a NVidia GTX 1070, but it's the same I was using some month ago without any problem.

On the other hand, it's true, I tried switching from wireframe and back to solid and it repairs the geometries. It's easier then restart the application.

Anyway I'm happy to read there will be a build with the correction, can I ask when it will be released ? :D
