Problem with 3D modeling

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

My name is Jelle, i am 17 years old, live in Belgium and i just downloaded the autodesk inventor 2012 professional student version.

But i have a little problem when i try to open or make a 3D model, inventor shows a really weird model.

I am not very experienced with inventor 2012 so i hope you can help me.

The 2D sketching works just fine.

I added some images to make clear what i mean.

Thanks a lot!

Hi inventordeplus, 

It looks like a graphics card issue. See this link for a suggestion on testing the source of the issue.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Hi Curtis,

Thank you for the fast respond!

It helped and it shows the 3D model perfectly, so this means i have to upgrade my graphics card ?

Not necessarily upgrade the card yet... but I would start by updating the driver for that card from the cards manufacturer website..
