Something is wrong after pushing to 3D

[silvio3105]

Hi,

After I finished PCB, I decided to push in to 3D(max details). For some reason, Fusion crashed(it's reported, I don't have report ID). After that I reopened Fusion and went again to push PCB to 3D.

Then, I got 3D model but whole 3D workspace was grey.

Here's video.

Thanks!

Hi, @silvio3105 

For some large and complex boards, we do need to cost a long time to generate 3D PCB. I would wonder how long cost to generate 3D in the fastest mode?

BTW, Could you please share this board with us for investigation? (Private msg or mail yiqiu.han@autodesk.com)

Thanks,

Board file like 3D model or whole PCB project?
It looks like driver problem.

[yiqiu.han]

The whole project would be recommended.

If you are suffering a slow rotation experience in 3D PCB workspace, the problem might come from hardware performance or driver.

The long time waiting could be caused by the complexity of board/hardware performance... If you will to share the file with us, we may have a chance to observe room to improve from our side.

@silvio3105  Did you ever get a solution to this issue?

[silvio3105]

No.

Hi, @silvio3105 

I have tried to open the models you sent to me, and all look normal on my computer. The problem you met looks like not related to the electronics module. One question is, Is such a problem happens in a normal 3D modeling workspace? 

My suggestion is:

1. Update the GPU driver and then restart the device. For Windows devices, it should be one of  Intel/AMD/Nvidia.

2. Try to adjust the graphics setting in graphics preference

3. Adjust the visual style and environment from the navigation bar.

Please let me know if there are any other problems

Thanks,

Yep, probably mine GPU driver.
Which driver is best for Windows? DirectX9? DirectX11? OpenGL?
Now I'm using DirectX9 and I don't have any problems. All problems I had were while pushing 2D to 3D PCB.

By default, the graphics driver would be auto-selected. If your GPU support DX11, the selection would always be DX11.

However, for some specific devices that DX11 couldn't cooperate well with(that may not be our problem), changing settings manually to DX9 or OpenGL is fine. Feel free to switch the setting if it could give you a better experience.
