Parts turning black in display??

Ever have this happen. I bring assemblies home from work and load them into
my computer. Sometimes the whole assembly will turn black. Othertimes it
will be all but one part is black. I cant go in and change colors or
anything. I will bring them back to work the next day and they will be fine.
Only happens in 2005 SP.1 with NvidiaQuatro500FX....this is the third or
fourth time its happened. Not like the video card is bad. Just very random.
Very hard to work on a black assembly Jake Barron

 

try removing material.

 

Hello Jake-
Recently, my FX500 went bad after 9 months.

I had a similar thing happen to me. A glass part that was transparent showed
as black. It was fine (transparent) when looking at the part, it was fine
when inserted in a new assembly. I guess it just did this with the original
2004 assembly that was converted to 2005. I'm running 2005 0.1 and an Oxygen
card. Didn't have time to worry about it so I just recreated the assembly
and all was well.

I'd say you've used Real View graphics at work and due to that, the
assembly turns black at your home. In SW2004 Real View graphichs
requires, if i remember correctly, SP3 to get it working.

 

I've seen this as well--it's usually a part I've made transparent. I'm
using a Quadro FX500. It sticks with the file--if I bring it home, it shows
that way at home. Messing with (or removing) the material is the only way
I've been able to fix it.

I'm experiencing other graphics weirdness as well--some parts become
striped, and one faded to black from one side to the other.

Hmm...
