Filled Region Covers Drawing in Revit 2019

jsalibaQYLJG — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 19:42:34 GMT

Hello,

I have been using Revit 2019 on my new desktop, and it seems that my Filled Region is covering my model.

I have already unchecked the Masking option.

While checking to see how I had edited my Filled Region on my notebook, I realized that the problem is in the Revit installed in my Desktop because the same file works perfectly in the other computer.

As shown on the images below, "image_01" is of the file on the Desktop. The "image_02" is of the same file with the same setup opened in the notebook that, btw also is running Revit 2019.

image_01
image_02Thank you very much,

Jorge

Could be any number of explanations. It's not uncanny. Can you post the file, or a small portion of it with the Masking Region?

Nope. It is on a PC.

As I mentioned... It is in Revit 2019! There is no more "Transparency/Opaque" option on the Filled Region.Masking Option

Here's the file, as requested, but as I mentioned... The file works fine on other computers. Just on this current desktop that it appears to have this bug... This is how I see the file when I open it over here.

.... I can apply transparency to that

... to get there... click on the masking or filled region (turn that blue)

.... with the right click open dialogue

... choose override graphics view

... and choose element o category

.... then choose the intensity you want to apply

... could be halftone or anything you need

Yes, I am aware that I can make it transparent like that, but I wanted to actually fix this bug.

When I printed it, it came out like the “image_02” in the post, so I figure it may have something to do with the graphics card, or something of the kind, that is affecting only how I view my project.

As I said, the problem is in my Revit Settings, and not in the File Settigns.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you very much,

Jorge

Turn off hardware acceleration and if it works then you video card is the culprit.

Yeah @ToanDN, it worked.

Does that mean that my Video Card isn't good enough to support Revit?

Thanks a lot!

It can be one possibility. It can also caused by a combination of OS, video card and its driver. What is you Windows version (7) and what is the videocard?

I belive my video card is ATI Radeon HD 3450 and I am running Windows 7.

Processor is Intel Core i3-3220 - 3.3GHz (In case it makes a difference...)

Thank you once again for your help @ToanDN!
