      I'm having some issues with SU7 and have looked for other user that have similar issues, but to no avail.
      The first issue is I have strange extension lines when I rotate a model around. Is this a graphics card issue or is there a preferred setting for the OpenGL? I am using a ATI FireGL V7600.
      The second issue a continual Bug Splat...I have been working on what I feel is a small file adding a water texture and using Podium to render. The object is a small Puddle less than a square foot with a grid of 2 inches and SU7 continually Splats.
      Does anyone have any cures for the perpetual Bug Splats? I have been using SU6 for some time and recently "upgraded" to SU7 and I am liking the older version (right now).
      Thanks in advance...

        Hi Ethip,

        Indeed these symptoms might indicate some OpenGL / Graphic card issues. I do not know this card but you could try to update its driver as SU 7 uses some higher OpenGL version than SU 6.

              No, but thank you for asking.
              I did an update on the graphics card and it was up-to-date.
              I have a dead line this afternoon so I dummied the file down to SU6 and I am crossing my fingers that the "Splats" do not follow...
              I hope to have some time at the end of the week to see if I can figure this out.
              Thanks again for your time Gai,
