The link between Modeler and Layout was broken. When using layout and need to adjust the mondels, clicking Modeler button open to Modeler but it crshed as soon as it finished loading. While using Modeller, I can not synchronize or send models to Layout. F12 didi nothing. The worst, After finish adjusting models in Modeler, I saved it and close Modeller and open Layout again. The objects in the scene were not updated. I have to do it manually.

This seems to happen after I got the second monitor and runing LW on both.

Is there anyone having the same problem I have, or anyone who know the clue.

I'm running LW 8.2.1 on P4 3.0 GHz 2.5 GB of RAM and ATI FireGL T2-12m MB of VRAM.

Thanks,

Make sure the hub is running, that's the the program that let layout and modeler communicate.

Hub is always running. I check it on the tool bar. Also, I deativate all firewall and virus protection.

I used the model form MODO. So, I'm not sure that's the issue or not.

Are you using the model that you saved in Modo, or are you using one that was exported from Modo as an LWO? Modo uses two different versions of the file format, one for saving and one that Lightwave uses. Make sure the one you are using in LW is an exported one.

I did export the models. Indeed, I rebuild my model and exported it to LWO. After all subpatch and materials were assigned in Modeler. But still, clicking Modeller in Layout will open the modeller and crashed right after loading. Also, clicking synchronize, or switch to Layout did nothing.
Closing all and opening Layout again also did nothing. The objects were not updated. Thus, I had to do it manually, by replacing the models.

This is frustrating and make LW useless on my workflow.

I will find time to clean the machine and reinstaller everything again,

Thanks anyway,

- close lw, hub and modeler
- go to : c:\documents and settings\username\
- here delete config file

start lw, load plugin with scan directory, close lw
start modeler, close modeler

now retry to load scene and check.
sometimes lw have problems related to its config file, if you delete and rebuild it, solve all problem.
