inserted 3d solid blocks not visible unless 2d wireframe

Hi all

this has been happening for a month or two and ive been wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows a fix please.

i insert a block into my 3d model.

the block is visible in 2d wireframe

then i change the shading to anything else, like realistic or 3d hidden, and the item is not visible.

i have found a way around this by exploding the block, then unexploding and then for some reason it is visible.

cheers

Are you able to view the block, which you are inserting, in the source drawing using those visualstyles?

Perhaps those visualstyles were not available in the original drawing?

Does it display in CONCEPTUAL or SHADED visual styles without exploding it?

Please post a copy of one of these blocks so we can test for ourselves. Thank you.

Cheers guys I will check and reply to both posts tomorrow at work (Australia )

i've tried inserting your block on a blank drawing and i didn't encounter any problem when changing visual styles

No problems with visibility here.

What graphics card and driver?

Computer specifications?
