Hi @Aadithya01,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! Which appearance are you using? I noticed that the "wood" appearance looked normal even when the other wasn't looking right, so it may be an issue with that particular appearance. Can you also please let me know what your graphics information is so the team can make sure to test on a similar machine?

Hi @kate.raskauskas

Thanks for your reply
I am using AMD Firepro M5100 and my in built graphic card is Intel hd 4600

Thanks! And what was the name of the appearance you were using?

The AMD Firepro and Nvidia Quadro cards are not good graphics cards to run Fusion 360 on.

These graphics cards have drivers optimized for Open GL while Fusion 360 and other AD solutions are using the Direct X API.

This might be just a graphics glitch due to the Direct X drivers on your card.

Hey @TrippyLighting

If that was a graphics glitch . How come when I hit render the appearance becomes proper . Even in that the problem should be there right ?

That is an incorrect assumption.

The viewport display for non-render and render use completely different algorithms and different features of the graphics API.

The burden on the GPU is much lower in when rendering, because the render engine only uses the GPU.

For real-time viewport display when not rendering the graphics features on your card and the Direct X API are heavily used.

Okay .. I used rendering just one week before the last Fusion 360 update but I didn't have any problem at that time .. even I am facing this problem for the first time .. All my graphics driver updates are turned off and all my windows update are turned off as well ... That's why I am suspecting the recent updates of Fusion ..

While @kate.raskauskas checks with the development team .. I will check my graphics driver as well ...
