    Problem:

    Input grids indicate items in model, but screen is blank, how to view the model?

    Solution:

     There are a few suggestions to finding the model graphics

    Option #1: Confirm all items are being shown on screen.

    Under View> Hide Components> be sure that all check-boxes are blank as shown below:

    Then perform the following command, View> Show all components.

    Does the model show in the graphics window? If not continue to option #2.

    Option #2: Confirm all segments in the model are turned ON

    On the Segment tab  of the input grid, find column named "Show", be sure that all check-boxes in this column are checked Enabled (i.e. checked ON) as shown below:

    If not enable all the check-boxes. Does the model show in the graphics window? If not continue to option #3. 

    Option #3: Reset the Graphics window. 

    In order to reset the graphics window, place the mouse on the corner of the AutoPIPE application window and drag resizing the application wind larger or smaller. The will cause the graphics to reset.

    Does the model show in the graphics window? If not continue to option #4.

    Options #4: Zoom to full extents of the model area. 

    On the toolbars press the icon to zoom  "View all points"

    Does the model show in the graphics window? If not continue to option #5.

    Option #5: Adjust the number of screen viewports:

    Look at the lower left corner of the screen, does the Axis icon appear or not?

    Perform the following procedure:

    a. Change number of view ports to 4

    b. Select Top Left viewport and then pres the "View all points" icon.

    c. If the model graphics appears, re-select "Single Viewport" toolbar button. Should now see the model graphics. Save the model as a different model name  and continue using the application.
