    Exclamation An error has occurred while drawing the contents of this window. This window shall be closed.

    *First Post!*

    The computer I'm using has two AMD Radeon HD 6990M.

    Hello. This is the error dialogue that appears on Revit 2012 when I try to select certain objects in my model, such as a wall, window, etc., within any view, unless I change to wireframe. Notably, the objects that cause this error tend to be ones which have been customized or imported from the standard Revit families folder.

    Also, when I try to change the 3D view to anything better than wireframe this message appears. However, Revit still renders wonderfully.

    Revit only allows me to use wireframe for everything!

    So far, this is what I've tried:

    - Turning off PowerPlay in the AMD Catalyst Control Center.
    - Turning off hardware acceleration in Revit, thus turning off Open GL in Revit.
    - Identifying any linked files; there are none.
    - Drawing a mile radius circle from the center of my model to find any object outside that perimeter; there are none.

    Any suggestions would be great! Thanks.

    To all viewers: Apparently Autodesk doesn't have the the drivers/updates out yet to utilize my video cards in Revit. However, turning on software acceleration still doesn't solve the problem.
