Model turns transparent when rotating, randomly.
Model turns transparent when rotating, randomly.
(OP)
So... randomly when I am working (with native NX models), some, but not all surfaces will disappear when I view them from a certain angle.
Once this occurs the only way to repair it is to do a view regenerate.
Any ideas on what settings or video card issues might be causing a random surface to disappear.
Oh, and I say surface, but all my models are fully solid.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I don't even know what "Certified Driver" means...
Is there a list somewhere?

Preferences -> Visualization -> Visual
...and in the General Display Settings section of the dialog, make sure that the 'Two-Sided Light' option is toggled ON.
If that wasn't it, and it tends to be smaller components, try going to...
Preferences -> Visualization Performance -> Large Model
...and see if in the Profiles section of the dialog, the Model Size option is set to 'Large' or 'Custom'. If so, change it to 'Automatic' and see if that helps.
