No, I'm pretty sure the problem has nothing to do with your graphics card. It has to do with you running in multi-core mode (Settings -> General -> Use Multi-Core) and using quadratic elements (the 20-element hexahedra). You have not stated, but I'm betting that it works when the Use Multi-Core feature is off but does not work when the feature is on.
It is only fairly recently that the wireframe displays correctly for quadratic elements, and there is a corner case where it still does not work. This happens to be the case when using the multi-core feature. So in short, correct wireframes for quadratic elements in multi-core mode is not supported. I raised a suggestion to fix it on ParaView UserVoice. If you want the feature fixed, go vote for it. http://paraview.uservoice.com/forums/11350-general/suggestions/2238657-corr ect-wireframe-for-quadratic-elements-in-multi- -Ken **** Kenneth Moreland *** Sandia National Laboratories *********** *** *** *** email: [email protected] ** *** ** phone: (505) 844-8919 *** web: http://www.cs.unm.edu/~kmorel On 9/9/11 9:34 AM, "newsboost" <[email protected]> wrote: >Ok - I think I know what the problem is... > >Anyone with ATI graphics card here who can reproduce my problem?
