I installed Maya 2017 student edition and on first run, I am observing strange issues. When I created torus inside a 3d container, its showing wireframe version of the torus above shaded torus as shown in the first screenshot :
After pressing 4, the wire frame mode is displayed as follows :
Back in shaded mode after pressing 5, if I select the shaded torus, the container moves downwards :
After deselecting torus, the container comes back to its original position as in first screenshot. Is this a hardware issue ?? My hardware specs are as follows :
Maya has become unusable due to this issue. Please help me to fix this.
Other things to try:
1) Check that your graphics card driver version is the correct one for the version of Maya you are running.
2) Try a different Rendering Engine or Default viewport under:
Windows > Settings/Preferences > Preferences > Display > Viewport 2.0
