    I  am running my Envisioneer 13 software with Windows 10 Home. I have Dual 2.8GHz i7 processor, 14GB Ram, 64 bit, lots of storage. Everything I need to run program(all up to date). I also had a Nvidia Gefore GTX 1050 Ti graphics card 4GB (clean install with current drivers). My computer runs great.

    The probem is (for example) when I open ‘Beach House’ sample and goto details worksheet and click on cross section and update Smartview, I end up in and endless loop and program does not respond.

    My question is, does anyone else had this graphics card, and what settings do you use? Or does anyone have a suggestion as to what may be the issue. Tech support suggested to google for settings, but most videos are for gaming. I have tried many combinations, but cannot eliminate problem.

    Thanks for any feedback!

    G’day Archie!
    i7-7700K, GTX1080, Win10 Pro took several minutes of black screen + “not responding” before it eventually updated the section on the LHS of the sheet.
    Almost 90 seconds to update the partial section on the RHS but it’s no longer clipped so overlaps the section & detail to it’s left & titleblock on the right.
    Does your model display the photoboards correctly?
    There are well over a dozen here that seem to have got lost in the upgrade. They’re all there in v12.

    Hi Merv,
    Yes, RHS took almost 3 min. and yes it was not clipped either.
    The photoboards are fine, but there does seem to be less.
    It must be the settings on our graphics cards, but deciphering the settings and deciding what would work best for our program is a challenge.

    That is one of my designs for Mustang Island Texas from 2013,
    I think if plans / sections etc are working OK for you, made from scratch, that you are both wasting time and potentailly screwing up your graphic card settings.
    I am running a GTX 970 and have similar results as you do and both your card and mine are adequate. I have no issues with current models (even some from v11 that are still functioning. 
    But 4 yrs ago the program was not the same as it is today. It still may work but in the background it has to do too much ‘thinking’. 
    I am no expert on graphic cards or programing, but I’d say move on to a more current design.
