Invisible objects in Fusion 360

Anonymous
Not applicable

So, I have just started using Fusion 360 for a school project. When I started the program up anything I made was invisible, sketches, extrutions, assemblies, everything except when I enabled ray tracing in the render tab. I am unfamiliar with Fusion 360 but I have experiance with Inventor. I have tried updating my drivers and restarting and played with all of the visual options but nothing works. Can anyone help me out?

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble, so let's trouble shoot this!

 

  1. Have you tried another computer?
  2. What happens when you click on the little Home icon near the view cube?
  3. Did you turn off the layout grid on purpose?
  4. Can you export the file and attach here? Or invite me to the project.
  5. What does the graphics diagnostic say?

Thanks!

Well, it seems to be working on other computers, but after trying to return to the home view of the project and making sure my view grid is on, my object still is not visible. I believe it is something to do with the computer I am using. My graphics diagnostic on the other hand says I am running directX 9.0, but I know I just updated it to 11.1, it might be a faulty graphics card. How can I inviteyou to the project?

I don't think I need access to your project. You have demonstrated it's a hardware issue.

 

Can you run the graphics diagnostic and post the results here? There is a copy to clipboard button.

 

You can tell Fusion which DX version to use in Preferences. Try checking this setting:

[GPU Information]
GPU Device: Intel(R) HD Graphics
GPU RAM: 128 MB (Integrated card)

[Graphics Effects Settings]
Anti Aliasing: Off
Ambient Occlusion: Off
Object Shadow: Off
Ground Shadow: Off
Ground Reflection: Off
Selection Display Style: Simple

[Notes]
1. If you have another discrete GPU on your system it is recommended to run Fusion on it to get better performance.

2. If you see any graphics display abnormalities, updating to the latest graphics card drivers could help resolve them; please check with your GPU vendors to download and install the latest graphics card drivers.

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

[Limit all effects to provide optimum performance]

Is what the report says

The information shows you are not using a dedicated GPU, otherwise known as a graphics card.

 

What you have is "onboard" graphics, i.e. an Intel graphics chip. The specs on this are below the minimum recommended for graphics.

 

Do you have a dedicated video card? You should see more than one choice if you right click on your Fusion icon and look for the following:
