Black screen when creating a geometry

Post by shirleysea »

Hello,
I installed GID16. But when I tried to create a geometry, the window turned to black screen.
Is there anyone having the same issue? How can I solved it?

First try to reset your user preferences,

Probably is a graphic card issue
- Update your graphic card drivers
- Check that you are really using the graphic card that you want, in case of have more than one
- Try with OpenGL by software

- In windows try the Mesa library version (alternative to OpenGL), starting <GiD>/gid_offscreen.vbs
