3D View not working properly

Anonymous — Tue, 06 Nov 2018 16:42:27 GMT

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out why is my 3D view not working properly. Not sure if it's a "Revit" issue or a graphic card/pc issue. The services shown in my 3D view seems to have an excessive amount of lines and it's impossible to see any clashes. I'm using the same settings as before (when it worked properly), it just "happened" last week and since then nothing has changed.

It looks like you are on Wireframe. Change your Graphics Display;

Hi, I'm on shaded settings (shown on "3D View_2" picture).

Transparency is being applied somehow?

0% transparency everywhere.

It has to be transparency being applied somehow. Since everything is transparent, it is a view setting.

Closing the 3D view and deleting it from the project browser helped. It works normally again.

I's also happening to me right now. Suddenly the 3D view is looking like that. Seems to be a bug.

A bug or a corrupt view? Have you tried ANY of the suggestions above?

It's good again. That was the default 3D by the way, the model didn't have issues in other 3D views.

I deleted the default 3D view and created a new one, but it only worked again by changing the sub-discipline of the view.

This happens to me every so often, and usually deleting the 3D view and recreating the default view will fix it. Sometimes that doesn't do the trick. When that doesn't work, use the view cube to orient the 3D view to "TOP". Then, orbit a little bit or go from "TOP" to a corner view of the cube. For some unknown reason, this fixes it. I have no idea why other than it's just a bug. Hope this helps.

Thank you! I had this issue a few months back and totally forgot about it. This is the best and easiest solution to this problem.
