I have a handful of older parts (last saved in NX 7 or earlier) that have some weird graphical glitches. It appears that some facets are missing or rendered incorrectly and it changes as the part is rotated. The part passes all the pertinent examine geometry checks. I have opened a good part and copied over the visualization and facetting settings but that did not help. I tried refiling the part and regenerating the view. I have tried out various other graphic settings and I also updated my graphics drivers to the latest certified by Siemens. Whatever the issue is, it appears to be part specific; only some of the older parts show this behavior.
Attached is a sample part (a small screw model), it is saved in the state that I originally opened it (except that it is now in NX 9 format because I had to delete out some company specific information). My purpose for this post is 2 fold:
- If you have run into this before and know the solution, please post it!
- If you open the attached file and it renders correctly for you, please let me know. This would indicate to me that it may be a hardware issue rather than a part settings issue.
Thanks!
