SW edge/face highlighting problem
SW edge/face highlighting problem
(OP)
Hi All,
I resently installed SW 2009 on my Windows 7 64-bit machine and it has an irritating error where it displays the highlighted edge or face etc. some distance above where that edge or face is on the model. I included the picture below to clarify. Does anyone now how to fix this frustrating problem?
I had SW 2008 on the same machine but didn't have any problems (I was running Vista 32-bit).

With no files open, if you go to Tools > Options > System Options > Performance you will see that the Use Software OpenGL option is greyed out and check-marked. That signifies the card is not suitable for SW.

I would venture to say that is your issue.
Just because it worked before, it does not mean it would work for future releases, you might have just been getting lucky...

Just for the record, I have an integrated card on my home PC. However it is an nVidia Quadro FX470.

I'm planning on building a new workstation in a couple months so I'll be sure to get a mean workstation graphics card. Thanks so much for the pointers!
