Model Appearances do not display

[ptc-5079577]

Hi all,

I just downloaded Creo 3 student edition, everything appears to be working normally except all model appearances appear as flat black with no shading (no color at all). Their previews are the same way in the appearances manager and editor. However, colors display correclty in the small swatch in the editor and during renders. I'm wondering if this is a problem with my installation, or something I can fix.

Thanks

You might try changing your scene to one that is not photolux.

Garrison,

try to add the following line into your config.pro file

graphics win32_gdi

This is almost certainly an issue with graphics compatibility.

There is a decent document on the topic here.
