http://forum.openscad.org/file/n18544/openscaderror.png When I try and
render openSCAD programs that are slightly more complex than some other
programs, computer has a breakdown and openSCAD stops responding. It throws
up the error message in the picture when the object has nearly rendered and
gives me no choice but to close openSCAD. Does anyone else have this issue
and know a way of getting around it?

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

That happens when it runs out of memory. (consider upping your swap file aka
virtual memory/paging file size)
Usually takes a big design tho.
Care to share your code, see if it works for others?

I have just tried increasing the virtual memory and that has not solved the
problem. OpenSCAD still crashes at the same stage in the rendering. I'v
attached the file that I'm trying to render below.

Chassis.scad http://forum.openscad.org/file/n18559/Chassis.scad process.

This previews instantly and renders in about 5 or 6 seconds
with not much memory consumption (on Debian/testing with the
latest nightly build).

What OpenSCAD version is that and what system is it running
on (maybe post the content of the Help->Library Info dialog).

I suspect you hit a bug as the complexity of the model does
not look like it should run out of memory even on 32-bit
systems.

ciao,
Torsten.

Hmm, nothing obvious jumping out. I'd suggest to

Try the latest snapshot version (just using the ZIP
package will not overwrite any installed version).
Check if the graphics driver is up to date, although
those issues usually hit with preview, so that's
probably no the issue here.

Also I have no issue with compiling this file, it just
won't render.

Not sure I follow. I understand that means F5 works
but F6 crashes?

ciao,
Torsten.
