Strange squares top left corner of view

Dear All,

 

Maybe someone can help me explain what these squares in revit mean. You can find them in the upper left corner of the view. Sometimes I can see four of them and sometimes one.

Since the appering of the squares the rendering of the model has become worse.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Mark van Lankveld

It's a Sheet Icon. 

 

...it's a very tiny sheet.  See it now?  You see almost the same symbol embossed on the paper feeder of your printer.

@barthbradley ,

 

Thanks for your reply. That's indeed a nice little sheet. But I mean the four purple squares. Like I said i think it has something to do with the rendering of the sheet. Because when I am panning I see one square instead of four.

Those don't look familiar to me.  Can you select it?  If not, maybe it's in the Titleblock Family.  Got one? 

 

...do you have any Add-ins that could cause this (maybe like adding a watermark)?  Try troubleshooting by disabling them.

Thank You for your reply,

 

But the squares are consistent trough al "viewports", so I can see them in sheets, floor plans, sections e.g.. They are not selectable. When panning I see one, when doing nothing I see four.

 

At the same time the squares appeared rendering started to  behave strangely. For instance:

Correct rendering:

Rendering after clicking or selecting:

I think there is some sort of relation between the two issues. I tought the squares are some sort of indication for something. But searching the internet didn't help me also because of Revit four purple squares is a vague search term.

AH! 2023! I don't have it installed yet. But, you know, it might be related to the Steering Wheel.

Windows 10 or 11?  

 

It might not even be related to Revit.

Windows 10, Radeon Pro W5700, Hardware rendering enabled.

It might not be RVT causing the squares but it is shown in an instance of RVT, although some kind of code in Revit must be displaying these squares assume.

Are you using the desktop manager from Radeon? I have something similar from Nvidea at the office but with dots where each window displays X number of dots respective to the grid number each app window is on (also when a revit view windows are undocked and maximized to grid as well). 

 

ps: but I have not experienced any graphic issue similar to the one you have shown above (with and without the screen manager active)

That gave me a hint where to search. The Radeon software has the following option:

When enabled the four squares are present, when disabled they aren't.

 

Let's check tommorow if the rendering is better with the viewport image boost disabled.

It had to do something with the Radeon software and an dynamic resulution in the Viewport. I wasn't aware that there was such a complex relation between GPU and software.
