Progress Bar: "Generating Graphics for 3D view," even when I'm not in 3D view

Working with:
Revit 2014
NVIDIA Quadro K2200 video card


Every time I click on something in Revit, whether it's an object, or a view, or a property... I get the spinning wheel and a progress bar at the bottom saying "Generating Graphics for 3D view: ___ " (see attached) and then it takes up to 30 seconds to finish 'generating' and then I can get back to what I am doing.

 

I am in a plan view with all other windows closed, and I don't have any 3D views open or even clicked on. Every time I work in Revit, this happens, and sometimes with random different 3D views from the model. Actually, it says it's Generating 3D views I have never even opened.

 

Please let me know if you have any ideas of what could be causing this or what I could do to fix it. It is wasting so much time.

 

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help !!!

You can try the following:

 

1.  In Options of Revit, uncheck Use Hardware Acceleration to see if performance increases or decreases

2.  Update your graphics card driver with Autodesk's Graphics Driver for your card

3.  Update your graphics card driver with NVidia Graphics Driver for your card

4.  Update your graphics card driver with the computer manufacturer's graphis driver for your card

Thank you for the ideas !!!

 

I have tried unchecking the hardware acceleration, does not improve this problem, and it makes 3D views and colored plans look like they have lots of lines through them. So it's more annoying than helpful unfortunately.

 

I have tried updating the graphics card driver as listed above, and nothing has improved. Still says "generating graphics for 3D view...." literally every time I try to do something, even as simple as text annotations on a floor plan that has nothing to do with the 3D view it's talking about.

 

I have also run all the revit updates, with no luck of helping this issue.

 

If this helps at all... I have noticed something:

If I click on a 3D view (not even open the view - just click on it in the project browser), then go back to my floor plan, this particular 3D view will be the one that it brings up in the progress bar. I have even tried creating new, small 3D views with nothing in them, to try to trick it into taking less time to generate these graphics for no reason. This almost works - but after about 30 times 'generating graphics,' for my new empty 3D view, it gets as slow as it was with any 3D view. Any ideas??

I've found if you are working with multiple linked drawings, it helps vastly to turn off model categories that are unused or even if your model has categories you don't use. I have to consistently link 3, 4, 5 or more different drawings from different consultants and that many model categories can significantly slow down the process (especially when the linked files themselves have a central linked to them which causes a TON of overlapping lines). You could also try and 'unload' any unnecessary links for the time. For example, I always have to check mechanical against what I am doing to ensure there are no conflicts but I don't ALWAYS need to SEE the mechanical components.

 

I kept getting the same message and having to wait up to a minute for the graphics to generate until I realized how much time could be saved turning off unused model categories.

 

Hope that's a bit of new insight.

Hi, hope you got your problem solved in the meantime.  Just as a matter of interest: Did you have Enscape installed at the time you had this issue?  I am suspecting a link. 

 

Greetings

Hi everyone,

 

It's been a while since this post is open.. Did anyone get an answer from Autodesk itself? I think this is much more of an inside behaviour or Revit rather than an issue.. Would like to know what's the best practice to lower the amount of updates...

There is nothing anyone can do about updates but I did notice something that helped vastly in the inbetween.

When you get stuck with a generating, try and see if you can go into the "task manager" and see if any background process are using up a ton of your processor or disk space. It may not be Revit at all, but some background process that is slowing up the works. 

 

It's worth a check anyway.

Hey guys,

It is year 2020, and somehow I got the same situation in my project. 

Whenever I try to sync, open the file in the beginning of the day, or do other view related actions, Revit starts generating every 3D view existing in the project, and it doesn't stop until it goes through them all. 

 

How can I fix this? It happens across different computers so it's likely not a graphics issue (besides the fact that we have latest drivers installed).

I had the same problem until the version 2020.2.2 (20.2.20.3120200426_1515(x64)2020.2.2)

This is now fixed with the version 2020.2.3 (20.2.30.4220200826_1250(x64)2020.2.3)

Same issue with Revit 2019.  Documentation model with multiple links.  UNused worksets and links  closed.  Unused views closed.  Very frustrating.

I'm having this same issue in 2021.1.1. Long pauses between commands -- even as simple as changing a door's mark.

Lower left status bar reads that it is "Generating graphics for [. . . ]". It will run through various open views and can take 20 to 40 seconds total. Choosing "unload for me" for various linked models helps some.

Still I'm having the same problem on 2021.1.2. Also during this proccess Revit uses 1 core of may 12 core machine. Also strange is that Revit Generating Graphic Views that are not in may model, but in linked one. Total disaster and waste of time.

Hi,

 

Do you have Enscape installed? see a post of 2018.

Some time ago i encountered the same issue with a large model, I suspected enscape because it only generated 3D views (none open). Once I disabled the Enscape addin the issue was resolved. Either the Addin did something or a revit API bug?

 

Since several Enscape updates I haven't encounter the issue in Revit 2020 (No active project yet in 2021)

Hi,

I have noticed that the error has gone. Yes we had enscape installed and have since updated so there maybe something in what you say. Thanks for the update.
