Walls not showing up in views, but are still selectable...

Anonymous — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 18:04:28 GMT

Hi, my team is using Revit2018.3 on Mac (via: VMware Fusion) and we are having trouble with disappearing walls in views. Initially I thought it was a VG problem, or a view extents problem, but we have checked both and it is definitely not either because when we hover over or click in the view where the wall should be visible it turns blue and is selectable... so the model information lives in the view it just isn't visible or showing up.

I am wondering if this has to do with using Revit on a mac... or maybe something larger than just setting that can be changed in Revit. Would love to hear any opinions/suggestions on the subject, thanks!

Does turning off Hardware Acceleration help?

I haven't tried that yet, are there any negative side effects that you know of, that come with turning off the Hardware Acceleration?

Yes there are implications on graphic performance. But if it does, then you can temporarily work until you find a better solution, and more importantly, pinpoint where the issue coming from (videocard or driver comparability).
