I am new to Revit and when I opened one of the files for training this is what my screen looks like See Attached.

Can someone help?

Try to uncheck Hardware Acceleration:

Application Menu (R) > Options> Graphics>Graphics Mode > Uncheck : Use Hardware Acceleration

Do you think it can be a Graphics Card problem, I have a Nvidia Geforce 7800 GT card.

 

I have used the model supplied with my Revit 2017LT program and it gives the same problem. See Attached.

I think that the link from the previous post was erroneous....

 

Here is it again:

That card should be replaced with a newer card, as it is over 10 years old...  Make me wonder what your other system specs are.

I am replacing the card with GT630 2GB GDDR5 2048MB Video Graphics Card WIN10 HDMI PCI-E

My system is a 2 year old i5 64 bit 16 Gb Windows 10.

I think this should be OK.

The reason I still had the old graphics card is because it worked fine and as I am not a gamer I did not see the necessity of replacing it.

However now with Revit it looks like I need to replace it.

I would not recommend a GT anything for Revit.   Spend a little and get a decent 7xx or above GTX.  Value cards like the GT's are just going to give you the same issues as you are currently having.  You don't have to be a gamer to get a GTX.  If you want to do rendering and walkthroughs in Revizto and Lumion, you will need a pretty recent GTX card too.

Thanks for your advise, but could you tell me what type of card is a decent 7xx

Thankyou everyone that tried to help with the bad image that I was getting in revit. I replaced my old Geforce 7800 graphics card with a GT630 2048Mb card and my image is perfect.

 

Thanks once again.
