3DVIA Display Performance Checks

If you have installed 3DVIA but are experiencing graphical issues, it is normally related to OpenGL and the 3D graphics card. Following are a few tests\checks you can perform to test the issue.

To determine if the graphics card could be the cause of the problem:
Click File, Preferences (application preferences), Hardware Support, and clear the “Enable 3D OpenGL Hardware acceleration” option to see if the problem improves. If the issue goes away then the problem has to do with the graphics card's settings (most have pre-built configurations, such as SolidWorks or CATIA, which can be used).

Other Hardware Support settings to try enabling/disabling to resolve problems are:
  • Enable Aux. Buffers,
  • Enable PBuffer,
  • Enable Direct Swapping to Refresh

If these settings are grayed out, go to:
  • Advanced Settings and Hardware section.
  • Click (uncheck) Enable "HardwareSupport.Advanced" and apply
  • This should activate the Hardware Support options

Give the above checks a try. If they do not help, contact FISHER/UNITECH support for more trouble shooting.
