View Range Breaks Plan View

[Anonymous]

Hey Guys!

Anytime I adjust my view range on a plan view, it breaks the view. It starts as not being able to zoom in and out and then goes completely black. This has happened to me 3 times in the same project.

Anyone else run into this? 

Thanks!

Nope...  Perhaps there is an issue with your video card or the view may have become corrupted?  

Does it happen in one view or all views?

It only happens in the view that I change the range.

If you want to post the file, we confirm whether or not this is replicable.  If so, it could be a corrupted view, which is something that can happen.  Also, Add-ins and background processes can sometime cause issues such as you are describing.

It is replicable. It happens every time I change the view range. Is there anyway to fix this?

Couple questions that can help troubleshoot:

Is it only the one plan that is affected, or do all of the plans in the model break when adjusting the view range?

Do other workstations get the same result?

It sounds like either a corrupted view (happens occasionally) and the fix is to create a new plan, apply the same view settings, and copy over all the 2D stuff.

Or a graphics card issue on your machine, make sure the drivers are up to date.

Or your cut plane is cutting through something that is solid and the view/material settings are to show solid black.

Another silly question, but, have you tried restarting your computer?

Hope this helps

I mean, is it replicable on other systems.  We can open you file and see if it is. If it is NOT replicable by us, then it must be an issue with your particular setup, and not an issue with Revit or the View itself.   Make sense?
