3D Views Show Some Type of Wireframe

[tconantBSET3]

Hello,

My Revit model suddenly started showing my orthographic 3D views as a color wireframe mode.  Is there a fix for this?  It even prints this way.  The project is on BIM360.

I tried shutting down and restarting.  I tried reloading and turning off the linked models.  The weird thing is when I switch to perspective mode there is no issue.  Only in orthographic mode.

Thanks,

Todd

3D view set to shaded or realistic displays as wireframe in Revit (autodesk.com)

...actually, looks like you are showing Rebar not obscured.

Hi @tconantBSET3,

Try turning all Imports (dwg links) off.

VG overrides for view > Imported Categories > turn visibility off for each item (maybe leave the "Imports in Families" on)

This is generally caused by dwg links (or imports) with a large origin or geometry far away from the origin)

Sometimes the 3D view doesn't restore and the view needs to be recreated.

Wrong Link posted above.  My initial guess was corrupted view - which we get from time to time. This is the Link I meant to post:

Thanks All, 

(I didn't get the notifications to my email for this forum until I updated my settings.  So I didn't see the responses until many months later when I was responding to another forum question for someone else.) 

Anyways, it was just corrupt and I was able to retrieve an earlier version of my project file after it occurred because it is a cloud hosted model.  I was able to target exactly what was causing this to happen and it was a roof that I was trying to edit the profile of.  Whenever I'd edit the profile of one roof in particular it would get corrupt like this.  I later was able to figure this out because I had a 3D view open next to my roof plan and it happened every time.  Where before I was working on many aspects of the building from their specific views.

The solution was to delete this roof and remake it.  That solved the problem, but anytime I need to make a change to the roof design I now always save first and have my 3D view open on the side to monitor if anything gets corrupt before I progress too far. 

Best,

Todd
