    Solids are Displayed in Black when Selecting Illustration or Smooth

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): MicroStation
      Version(s): 08.11.07.446

    Problem

    Solids are displayed in black when selecting illustration or smooth
    display modes

    Solids were completely displayed in black when selecting an Illustration
    or Smooth display mode, while wireframe showed objects in their colors.



    Solution

    This can be caused by using a video card which does not meet the
    hardware minimum requirements.
    Solution is upgrading the video card.
    Possible workarounds are disabling the video card hardware acceleration
    (if possible) and/or use only one screen.
