3D Watch and Background Preview are broken; Revit Background Preview still works;

error in Watch 3D window:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at HelixToolkit.Wpf.SharpDX.RenderContext.set_Camera (Camera value) at HelixToolkit.Wpf.SharpDX.Viewport3DX.HelixToolkit.Wpf.SharpDX.IRenderer.Render (RenderContext context) at HelixToolkit.Wpf.SharpDX.DPFCanvas.Render() at HelixToolkit.Wpf.SharpDX.DPFCanvas.UpdateAndRender()

@epsilonite What version of Dynamo are you running?

epsilonite commented 8 years ago

0.9.1.3567 (upgraded from 0.9.0 stable release to see if issue was fixed) Revit Architecture 2016

DxDiag.txt

update: regardless on reinstalling different versions, Dynamo Background Preview does not work on the workstation pc in the DxDiag file. However, there are no problems when I check on a laptop with Revit 2016, so it may be issue with Revit Architecture.

I'm experiencing the same issue with the standalone Dynamo Studio 0.9.0.3072. DxDiag.txt

Found a solution for my problem: Had SLI deactivated. I'm running two Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti. Enabling SLI solved my problem.

@othiele @epsilonite Please check out the Dynamo Forum or the Read Me on Github, we think we understand why some Win10 configurations (those with graphics cards that work with Win7 or 8) have this issue. Here is a clarifying thread:

We are working towards a solution.

This was an issue on my Windows 10 machine running two GEFORCE cards. I had set these up without SLI because it causes performance degradation on some 3d applications. I found that if I installed the SLI bridge and enabled it, the 3d preview works in Dynamo.

Thanks for the update

Hi All. I'm running into the same issue. Dynamo (standalone) doesn't have a graphic preview in the background nor in the 3d watch panel. But when I run dynamo through revit 2016, it works fine. I'm running dynamo 0.9.2.4472 (latest version to date). I'm running a dell xps, win 10 DxDiag.txt

Fixed the issue. See Andrew Heumann's comment about the NVIDIA control panel.
