grey fog in work area on fusion360 mac

[ddecker]

Fusion360 has become unusable on my mac, previously working well. This behavior seems to have become consistent after recent server upgrades, although it did happen intermittantly prior. The problem is that the work area does not display correctly. It is a little difficult to describe, so a picture tells it better.

I am using a latest model Macbook pro with all available updates installed. Here is my graphics dx:

[GPU Information]
GPU Device: AMD Radeon R9 M370X
GPU RAM: 2048 MB
GPU Driver API: OpenGL

[Graphics Effects Settings]
Use high-resolution graphics: Off
Anti Aliasing: Off
Ambient Occlusion: Off
Object Shadow: Off
Ground Shadow: Off
Ground Reflection: Off
Selection Display Style: Simple
Transparency Effect: Better Performance

[Notes]
The effects could slow down the graphics rendering; try to limit them for optimum performance.

[Limit all effects to provide optimum performance]
On

I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, turing visual effects on/off, clearing local cache, turned off graphics card switching with no effect on behavior.

Attached are my diagnostic log files.

Program is completely unusable currently...

Appreciate any help. 

Thanks

David

I switched graphics drivers from "Auto-Select" to "OpenGL" and this seems to have fixed the problem. When "Open GL Core Profile" is selected the problem persists.

Spoke too soon. 

Behaved normally for a little while, then problem returned

Hi ddecker,

Thank you for reporting the issue. For further understanding the problem, I have just several questions.

What is the material applied on the model?

What is the behavior with a simple cube? 

What is the behavior if you switch to Render Workspace?

Regards,

[ddecker]

The material is the default (steel)

The behavior seems to have resolved as I cannot replicate it today. Someone change something???

Did you by chance restart the computer?

Thanks in advance!

[ddecker]

Yes, I had restarted yesterday but this did not seem to change anything.

The only other thing I did in mean time was install VMWare fusion so I could run a windows installation and use fusion360 on windows 7. 

This AM fusion360 is working fine. I have been using it for most of today without any problems.

There has not been anything changed on Fusion side since your report. What's interesting is that when you switched to OpenGL, you got everything work well for a while and then it messed up again. If rebooting got it fixed, I guess it might be caused by a driver issue.
