Display problem - not showing correctly

Enacheanu Dragos Nov 21, 2016 4:25 AM

I have a problem with my model. When I watch the model in 3D it looks very strange, like some parts are interfering but that is just a displaying error.

If I render the model it looks as it should be.

I use Windows 10, Solidworks 2015 Premium and Nvidia Quadro K2200 with latest driver.

I tried the model on another computer where I have Windows 10, SW2015 and GTX660 and the result was the same.

The first picture is with the wrong display and the second one is the rendered model with correct view.

You can't have a rendered look when working in the models and if you could it would be very very slow..

  First of all I work in SW for about 5 years so I know that I can't work like that. If you look closely you'll see that the first model looks exploded, when I rotate it it looks like it's on a really bad graphic card, but I have the same issue on every other computer from my company. I put the second picture only to show how the model looks like and to point that when I render it looks fine. I have this issue only with this assembly, when I open a sub assembly it looks fine.

I think what you are getting Enacheanu, is you're seeing the parts behind the thin wall components. It's a well known issue where SW will show edges of parts that should be concealed. The problem depends on how thick the covering parts are, and how far you are zoomed out.

  I know what you mean, that's not the case. Look in the far corner where the yellow panels have a gap between them, well, it doesn't exists,. as you can see in the rendered picture, and it's not the draft quality because I put it at maximum.

    Ok, I see. Is the model in an exploded state?

      No. It's just a graphic problem and I'm starting to think that I saved it with a bug.

        Did you assemble it with the front axle exploded and the rear one off the track?

        In this assembly no subassembly is exploded. I use very rare the exploded function. The thing is that when I rotate the model everything jiggles like the graphic card is broken and that's not the case

        Sounds like a problem I had previously. See this thread for a possible solution.

        I already tried it, doesn't work. I created another configuration and another display states in different combinations. I deleted the old ones... nothing. Very disappointed with SW, in time I learned to use the program trying to avoid numerous bugs, but this one is really crappy, it'll take a lot of time to rebuild this assembly.

        Enacheanu,
        You said that your assembly is real slow rebuilding.
        Go to tools and turn on assembly visualization and add SW rebuilt time.
        
        See which parts are taking the longest time to rebuild,
        suppress these files one at a time and see if your assembly acts the same if not then load up those
        parts and see if there is something wrong with the files.
        
        HTH,
        Frank

        Hi Frank,
        
        I tried your solution. It didn't work. I suppressed until I remained with only one part and the behavior it's the same.
        I reinstalled the graphic card driver and the problem remains.
        Sadly I noticed that every subassembly that I open behaves the same, this didn't happened earlier, but only from this project. Those subbasemblies, if I don't save them, when I open it from another pc are behaving normal so the problem started from my computer or my program. I will try reinstalling it.

        Sounds like a lot going on in the assembly, do you have Sketch Patterns, Deep In Context Sketch Relations, Equations, Component Patterns or by any chance Circular Rebuild Issues???

        Yes I have all of those in model but no rebuild error. I know what you're trying to say but I don't have that problem. I've build far more complex assemblies and I had a lot of problems which I solved, but this one... Now I'm waiting for SW to reinstall.

        Yeah, even after reinstall the problem is the same...

        You can have numerous Circular Rebuilds and there wouldn't need to be any error shown.
        
        The biggest issue with any of our responses and even being remotely close to a correct answer is practically impossible with just pictures to go off of.

Re: Display problem - not showing correctly

I found the solution.
I fixed it like this:
1.     I opened the assembly model with problem
2.     I created a new assembly
3.     I inserted the problem model in the new assembly
4.     I saved the new assembly
5.     I edited in context the model with the problem and I pressed save all
6.     I opened the model with visual problem and everything is back to normal

I'm very disappointed with Solidworks, we paid a lot of money for 5 licenses and what we've got? it crashes often, has a lot of glitches, printing is not user friendly, you can't save for previous versions, doesn't have an auto save function and many other problems...
