Hi again,

I am receiving the following message in the Area Mapping Module:

"Number of Rays cut off by order greater than 50%
Please increase order for realistic results"

I tried to increase the order option from 20 to 200, 2000 and 5000(only for test!) and the error message appear again and again!

And after of this message I am receiving the following message in the Room Editor when I tried to do a RT review(I had done this before the error without any trouble):

"Error in Surface Calculation"

What can I do in order to solve this erros?
What can to be the problem?

Thanks anticipated
Opacheco.

Sorry Opacheco, I haven't come across this one.
Hopefully someone will give you an answer shortly.

I'm assuming you're using the Ray Tracing module?
Have you increased the order and provided a sensible time - relative to your room?
FWIW, for a typical model I usually start with around 10,000 Rays/Loudspeaker, Order of 3 and a Time relative to the RT or physical size of the room.

Tim,

Thanks a lot for your time and response!...I am in the "Area Mapping" module and I am trying to run a "Local Decay Time" and the message is appering when I tried to run that test!! and the error appear again and again:
"Number of Rays cut off by order greater than 50%. Please increase order for realistic results".
I tried with 20, 200, 2000, 5000 and I have the same message.

BUT the another error is in the "Editor Module" when I tried to do a RT review(I had done this before the error without any trouble):
"Error in Surface Calculation"

I will be pending for any comment!

Normally increasing the reflection order should help.
May you can send your EASE project to support@afmg.eu for checking.

Hello opacheco,

Could you please send a description of the problem along with some screenshots and maybe the project in question so that I can verify the issue reported just above?

I believe you´ve got my mail address? Wink
