Hey I've been trying to render a model for days now and it keeps getting stuck at extracting or stuck at "start raytracing " i need help I uploaded the model using hightail
You need to be a member of Render Plus Software to add comments!
The render geometry text file in the folder that you sent to us was not complete.
When it is finished, the last line in the file "batch_file.txt" should be a line that looks like this:
END;
The last line in the the "batch_file.txt" that you just sent us is:
NORM;(0.405955285,-0.913892925,0)
That tells me that the computer may have run out of memory while it was saving the data and just stopped. I am surprised that you did not get some kind of error message, though.
I noticed that you are running SketchUp 2014. It may be that you need to start using a 64 bit version of SketchUp 2015 or 2016 so that you don't run into memory problems.

Why would you hide all the objects? Then I know you wouldn't see anything.
You can hide objects in the model by right-clicking on them and selecting Hide, or by plcing them in layers that you then turn off.

how do i do that?
The other trick to try is to take some geometry out of the model, or just hide it, and see if it starts to render.
There might me some complex geometry that you don't need to include in the rendering, or at least you might find out that the cause of the problem is.

funny thing is that other models rendered fine no issues but not this one
Yes, I would at least try it and see if it helps.
It may not help though.
You could try it on a different machine and see if you had better luck rendering using SketchUp 2015 0r 2016.

so your suggestion is upgrading to 2015 or 2016 sketchup?
