Hi All, I am having a problem....... I can work on the model in 3D and other views, and then all of a sudden when I switch back to 3D, the pick icon no longer highlights the objects to be selected and also the roof, walls and other objects, gradually change to wire frame the more I switch between views.

Have tried switching off "Hardware Acceleration" in case it has something to do with the graphics. I should say this problem is only unique to one particular model. The other projects are fine.

I am working using design options as I have with other projects and have never seen this before?? Has anyone else?

Would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

I do know that you have to be in the design option set in order to select objects in that design option. as far as the

objects switching to wireframe, i am not to sure. If you are trying to select an object make sure you are in its current

design option set.

This does sound like a graphics card issue.  Typically, if you delete the 3D view then create a new one, that will clear up the problem.  But probably only temporarily.

Thanks for the comment. I should have said I am in the editing mode applicable to the design option. An example of what is happening is;

1. Pick on roof in 3D veiw and click edit.
2. make modifications as required, maybe switching between other "2D" views. Finish edit mode.
3. Switch back to 3D and no longer able to hover over objects and have them highlight. Further switching between views further, makes the objects gradually transparent.

I would have to agree there seems to be a graphics card problem... however the problem is only with this project. I can have others open and do the same operations, with no problems.

My graphics card is aGeForce GTX 580 1.5GB

I will keep looking in to it and hopefully find what's going on.

WWHub.... just letting you know, I deleted the view and created a new one and have been working with it all day with no problems. Seems to be the answer, thanks for that it was getting a little annoying.
