When I tried the 3D I got an error message that said (could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.) what does this mean and how can i fix it?

There was a bug at one time where really simple paths (like a triangle, for example) could cause that error.
Is your path really simple (I don't plan to go watch the video)?  If so, have you installed the latest update for Photoshop?  That bug may have been fixed already.
If it's not that, it's possible that if your path is really complex and simply exceeding Photoshop's capability.

    Look in your windows reliability history at your Photoshop CC 3d Crashes see what the failing module is.
    Also the current version of Photoshop is CC 2014.2.2 Photoshop.exe version 15.2.2.  You should make sure all Photoshop updates have be applied and the you have installed the latest Display device driver for your Graphic Adapter so its GPU support is up to date.

  • Problem with "Create New Extrusion from Selected Layer" CC 2014

    Hello, I'm experienced with Photoshop but am new to 3D text in Photoshop.  I type in some text and convert to a shape.  When I choose Create New Extrusion from Selected Layer I get  dialog box I don't see in any tutorials.  It says "You are about to create a 3D layer.  Would you like to switch to the 3D workspace?  Yes/No, Don't show again."  Which should I use for 3D text? 
    If I choose Yes, all the panels go away and the content in the tool options bar (ribbon?) just under the menu bar go away.  I have to restart Photoshop to get the tool options back.  What could I be doing wrong?
    Thanks - Dave

    I just chose "No" and didn't look back.  I like my workspace just as it is, and don't prefer Photoshop to change it for me under this particular case.
    You can make the 3D panel visible yourself via Window - 3D.  I find it's a good alternate for the Actions panel, as I don't have any actions at the moment that work in the 3D world.
    The panels you'll want to see easily if you work on 3D are the 3D panel and the Properties panel, among a few others.
    Regarding getting your workspace back the way you like it...  Note the little selector near the upper-right corner of the Photoshop main window.  That can be used to select a workspace.  I suggest you experiment and get familiar with the concept of workspaces.  You can define your own and save it with a name, and that truly can be helpful.

  • Why am I getting this err -Could not complete the Split Extrusion command because of a program error

    To recreate this error, draw 2 simple shapes in Illustrator CS6, copy and paste them together as a Shape layer in Photoshop CS6.
    Then go to 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Path. I just accept the defaults.
    Then go to 3D > Split Extrusion.
    The error is thrown at this point. No matter what I do, I can't get it to work.
    I've tried rasterizing the shape, but then I get a different error. When I select 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Layer, I get the error: "Could not complete the New 3D Extruions from Selected Layer command because the path is too complex." This is ridiculous. I can't get the 3D to work at all.
    Is Photoshop just this buggy or am I trying to do something that should not be possible? If so, the error message certainly should be more helpful than what I'm seeing.

    You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
    A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
    So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
    Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

  • CS6 3D error (bug?) "Could not complete your request because the path is too complex."

    I'm running into a bit of a problem with having a shape extruded in 3D.
    If I draw a rectangle shape set to path over an image and then choose "source - work path" and "3D extrusion" I will get a 3D rectangle with the image on the front side.
    If I draw a 3 sided polygon (triangle) set to path over an image and then choose "source - work path" and "3D extrusion" I will get a error telling me that the path is too complex.
    I'm doing the exact same thing.
    Now, if I have 4 sides plus, on the polygon it will extrude just fine.
    Something seems to be happening with 3 sided polygons.
    This holds true with the pen tool as well. Three points will give you the error, 4 and above seem not to.
    Any ideas and to why this is happening?
    Thanks!

    Work around. (CS6)
    (1) Draw your trangle shape.
    (2) Convert one of the corners to a smooth corner (just barely). If you doesn't work, bend flex it a little more, and try again.
    (3) 3D/New 3D extrusion from selected layer.
    (4) Switch camera to top view.
    (5) With 3D layer selected, in the coordinates menu of Properties panel, set X angle to 90.
    (6) Snap object to ground plane.
    (7) Set depth to 0.
    (8) In the Cap menu of the Properties panel, adjust cap width to 100%.

  • Could not Complete Error with swatches

    Hi, I am running an action that Resets Swatches in PS6 and allows me to paint in Black or White. However everytime it gets to the Reset Swatches the action gived me a "could not complete" error. If I press OK it does reset the swatches.
    Likewise I have an axtion that Flips swatches, any action that has a reset swatches part fails.
    If I try to manually switch swatches I get the same error
    Any ideas what the problem could be please?

    Hi,
    What operating system are you using?
    Did you record the action in photoshop cs6 or is the action from an earlier version of photoshop?
    Have you applied the latest updates for photoshop cs6 by going to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6?
    Have you tried resetting the photoshop cs6 preferences?

  • The new 338S0987 chip from cirrus logic has inferior sound quality to the old cs42L61 chip.  Can the 338S0987 chip be improved?

    The new 338S0987 chip from cirrus logic, used in the new 4s has inferior sound quality to the old cs42L61 chip found in the 4 and 3G.  Can the 338S0987 chip be improved?
    The new chip is very compressed and has hissing artifacts.  It sacrifices sound quality for reduced energy consumption.  This is a problem for me because I am building a musical instrument app that is adversly affected by the new cirrus logic chip.  Audio fidelity is suffering.
    Is there any chance for a software/driver tweak of this chip, or my I please request an improvement on the next iphone model?

  • Could not complete the new 3D extrusion because the path is too complex

    I'm using Photoshop CS6 in Windows 7 64bit. I've seen other posts about a bug if you are trying to complete a 3D extrusion when a triangle is present, but my issue seems even more basic.
    I'm drawing a simple wave shape with the pen tool set to shape, no fill, 1px stroke. I'm simply drawing three points to create a simple sine wave - the idea being to create a wavy piece of 35mm film. The image size is quite big - 6000 x 4000 px. The first time I did it, the rendering worked fine but I didn't like the curve I had drawn, so I stepped back and tried again. Now, whatever I do, I get the "Could not complete because the path is too complex" message.
    Is this a known bug and are there any workarounds to create a single pixel wide wavy shape in 3D that looks like a piece of film.
    Steve

    I have run across this also, but my path was more complex.  As far as creating a single pixel wavy shap, I would use the depth map 3D feature of  converting a depth map to a plane.  Create a gradient in 32bit mode, so the transistion are smooth, and then go to the 3D menu and select new mesh from depth map>plane.  You can later go in and edit the depth map to tweak it.

  • What do I do with this error? "could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of camera raw?"

    what do I do with this error? "could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of camera raw?"

    It can be that you have an old version of Photoshop Elements and a new camera.
    Please tell us
    Which operating system you are running on
    Which version of Photoshop Elements you are using
    Which camera the raw images come from (Make & model)

  • CS5 RAW Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.

    I rented a Nikon D600 & D610 and CS5 cannot open the RAW files, i do not have any issued with my D700 RAW files. I am getting this error message -

    Sorry, I am on a MAC. I downloaded the link you provided and it's giving the same error message as above. Running CS5.
    The error message you gave is from Camera Raw. I thought you said that DNG Converter didn't work?
    The link I gave you is an article on getting your raw files to open in Camera Raw. Did you read it? I lazily gave you the link because this is one of the most common problems in this forum, and I get tired of saying the same thing over and over again. I could break it down for your specific case, but I was hoping you could read through the article and work it out for yourself.
    But, here goes:
    Your cameras are newer than your raw converter, so it won't understand them.
    CS5 comes with Camera Raw 6, which can only be upgraded as far as 6.7.1. You can find out which version of Camera Raw you are running in three ways: in the settings title bar (Cmd-K), in the plug-in title bar (press F to start/stop full-screen mode to reveal the title bar), or Photoshop's Help menu (About Plug-ins).
    Downloading raw files from newer Nikon cameras with old versions of Nikon Transfer will actually make them unreadable in Adobe software. They can be fixed with a free utility. Again, it's all in the linked article. You should be using up-to-date Nikon Transfer, or Adobe Photodownloader to avoid this problem.
    All being well, you have good raw files on your computer. You can convert them to dng using Adobe DNG Converter. IF you are on OSX Leopard or Snow Leopard, you CAN'T use the latest version, because Adobe stopped support. But, if you ARE on a later OSX, you can download DNG Converter 8.6.
    DNG Converter is designed to convert FOLDERS of raw files at a time. You select a folder of raw files, and tell it to create DNG copies. BUT, you have to set up the converter before you start using it...
    If you load up DNG Converter, you'll notice a button labelled "Change Preferences". Clicking this, you'll see the first option is "Compatibility". Here, you must select the appropriate setting for the version of Camera Raw you HAVE (see above). If you can't work this out, just pick "Camera Raw 5.4 and later". THEN pick a folder of raw files and convert them to DNGs.
    All the above is already in the article, but I gave you a personalised response. If you still can't get it to work, please give us more than one sentence. Tell us exactly what you tried, and describe exactly what happened. Which version of OSX you're running, what device and software you downloaded your raw files with, how you used DNG Converter, and so on.
    I really should be in bed.

    Hi,
    The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
    You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

  • Problems installing plug-ins (and even Adobe updates) to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop.Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."

    Problems installing plug-ins to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop.  (Same CS5 and plug-ins installed OK several years ago on a Vista laptop.  Now I'm just trying to migrate everything over to the new laptop.) Even some Adobe updates won't install.  Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."   Any solution?

    CS5's automatic update mechanism is broken, perhaps because it is no longer updated and can't cope with the newer ways of updating.
    So this means you will have make a list of the updates that failed, go here: Product updates
    and manually download/install from there.
