Need Help : Dots ?? :/
-
Hey All,
Right I am building this ship okay, and these dots/spots keep showing up and its driving my crazy its on both sides. They show up when I for example create a square or something and at this rate by the time I finish the ship it be covered in dots grrrrrr....
any help please ?

This is not the problem, the ship is a empty shell nothing inside I thought it was the floor inside but its not so I clearly lost on this. Out of all my ships this is the very first time iv had this bother grrrr
-
Floor touching the outside face?
Turn on hidden geometry and post a pic
And put a section there so we can see internals
-
her ya go
-
You didn't post an image with hidden geometry turned on.
Post one with edges turned on, too. -
Even better; post the model itself...
-
Gaieus you mean a picture right ?
-
No, he means the model or at least a section of it where the problem exists.
You can upload .skp files to your posts. -
I expect the dots you are seeing are cause by the back face color showing through at the seams but that's only a guess. You could try changing the back face color to white although it would probably show through somewhere else. You still haven't posted the requested screen grabs, though.
The model (SKP) file would be best. -
I am not great designer btw
-
As I suspected, it is the back face color showing through at seams. You can change the back face color to white and they won't show ion the white areas but they'll probably show in the areas you've painted black.
I changed the back face color to magenta which makes your "dots" really stand out and confirms the problem. Turn the edges back one and those dots generally won't show because the edges will hide them.

As Dave says...
What you are seeing is that the 'edges' of some faces are displaying where they are coincident with the visible face of other parts...
Much of your model is made as if it were constructed from a 'thin card' - with the the parts having no real thickness, and therefore edges and faces can be coincident.
This means that if say a deck has a bulkhead below it, then that bulkhead's top edge can show through when the edge/faces are different colors.
In the real world the deck [and all other parts] would all have real thicknesses - for even a single sheet of metal is several mms or even cms thick.
So giving your parts real thicknesses will avoid many of these issue, because then the correctly sized and positioned edges of objects will no longer coincident with the visible face of abutting objects... -

Its not working over here
grrrrr

Computer Specs?
My guess is you've a pretty inadequate card

grrrrr What's not working?
As Rich suggests, you've probably got an inadequate card. If this stuff is important to you, try upgrading your hardware.
-
Processor is Intel(r) Core 3 Duo, with a memory of 3.00GB and its a 32-bit operating system.
As I said iv built around 40+ models and this is the very first time iv seen this before, and they are well bigger in all ways with a lot more detail.
The other ship (below) is bigger, no problem at all while building.
-
This is a graphics card issue not CPU.
I'd bet a beer we could go through every model you've created and find the same issue. Just turn on the edges while you're working and they won't show. Besides, they don't hurt anything while you're drawing, anyway.

Graphics Card: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD

Here is the ship before these dots appeared.
