View Full Version : Ghosting Images

Hi Everyone,

I've been getting ghosting lines appear when I import Architectural files into my structural models. Noticed this happening on a few projects so far, and wondered if there's a way of removing or at least reducing it? I've attached a couple of images showing what I mean.

My computer is not the best, but it's by no means the worst either I don't think.

Got a Xeon 4 core 2.93GHz processor
12 G of Ram
NVidea Quadro FX 1800, 1GB.
Windows 7 64 bit

Is there anything there particularily standing out as sub par for what I'd need?
Or could I maybe have some setting wrong in terms of hardware acceleration or something?

Or is this just something Revit likes to do sometimes?

Thanks.

Can you upload a stripped down version of the file?

Sorry, I don't think I can, as I have no actual ownership of the model, it belongs to an external contractor and I'm not sure how happy they would be with me sending out their work. I've got a feeling a stripped down version of the model may be irrelevent either way, as it seems to be the larger/more complex models that seem to be the biggest offenders for the ghosting images.

Looks to me like someone is using model lines for elevation detailing...hence the reason they are not on plane with the actual model...

Try opening their model and look to see if that is the case...

I thought that too at first, but the lines are'nt there to be selected, whereas other model lines are, and they don't dissapear when you turn the 'lines' category in either the main model or the linked model file. In fact the do dissapear sometime, but the second you move the camera view again they come back. It definately seem to be a graphical error of some kind.
