When making a part These colors come up on the screen and cover my project. When I keep going further into the project The colors keep getting worse. This all started when I did the last update on fusion.  I took a picture of the issue and attached to this post.

This is a graphic card driver issue for sure.  First go into your Fusion 360 Help, Support and Diagnostics, Graphics Diagnostic and Check for GPU Driver update.  Next go your Fusion 360 Preferences and select a different Graphic Driver.  Please note that the application will need to restart between changes.

I followed what you told me to do and for some reason it would not let me download the AMD software. I then went to the preferences and tried all of the graphic drivers that were on there and restarted every time and it got rid of some colors, but there are still lines everywhere.

I guess I'm not sure how to put it on the web form I exported from fusion and attached it to this email. I saved it on the local disk this time not sure if that helped other wise I'm going to see how I can figure it out. Would I be able to just uninstall Fusion and Install it again and see if my problem is fixed.

As you can see, the model sketch exhibits no issues when opened in my Fusion 360 application.  I still feel this is a graphic issue.

You mentioned earlier you could not download the latest Graphic Card driver.  I feel this is something you have to get around.  One way to do this is to click on the Help (?) in the upper right corner of the Fusion 360 application and select as shown in the graphic below.

Then in the resulting dialog box, you can check the indicated box to check for updates to your graphic card drivers.

Here are some snaps shots of what I went to, to trying to installed the amd When I hit the check for updates on the cpu It brings me to install the amd I go to install in and the install button was not highlighted to click on. I found the software it says I need and I installed it AMD Radeon™ R7 340 Once that is installed It pops up, I do not know what to do with it. I restarted fusion and it is still doing the same thing when this amd is up.

In your first Screen Capture, I see where you can download the driver.   I would use this to save it to your hard drive and then run the driver installation from there.  By the way, you need to be logged into your computer with sufficient user permissions to install drivers.

I have no idea what you are showing in your screen capture.  I have given you my method of upgrading your video card, I have nothing else to offer except the recommendation you find someone who understands computer upgrades to assist you.
