Hi John. To render in 24bit, I did the following: – Install the autocad driver for the millennium. – Run the ACADRV.BAT located in your /MGA/ACADRV directory (setting up the RCMGAX64.EXP). – Delete 3DADI.CFG from your 3DS directory, if present. – Run 3DS VIBCFG and choose RCPADI for the main display, VESA for materials editor and RCPADI again for the render display. – The driver-setup program now starts and asks Does your computer have a vga/svga display ? "Y" Will RDPADI render on a seperate screen ? "N" The autocad configuration pops up. Here You have to choose a resolution. Note that this resolution is both for the main-diaplay AND render-display, so if You want to render in 24bit, your main-display will also be in 24bit wich will slow everything down. Try to choose 800×600 24bpp 2d, smooth, dynaview not active resizeable graphics windows not active command lines and font size, accept defaults. 32bit displaylist exit and save. – At last, confirm that RCPADI is not rendering on a seperate screen. This should work. I didn't manage to get the materials editor working in 24bit, so watch out. The screen goes beserk on my machines. I hope this will help You out, at least for the next 2 weeks (hello Vibrant). Regards Ulrich Schmidt
