SolidSmack: SolidWorks Real View: Light up Your Life

  • Kyle Mason · 1 year ago
    For some reason my glowing goodness doesn't work. I have realview on, but when I select a face it doesn't glow. Any ideas?
  • Jason Q · 1 year ago
    Kyle, perhaps your vid card only has a silver rating, meaning only parts of the real view package works. that is the case with my fx500, I too, get no joy on the glow..

    yeah, I believe the bare minimum on the Quaddro series is gonna be a FX1400. I'm rockin' a 1500 and it does pretty well. SolidWorks Graphics Card Support

    I got the firegl v5200 and it is supported for realview and it worked once. And it was cool, but after that I never saw it again.
    And the solidworks drivers do not work for hp laptops and i got this laptop from solidworks strange enough. It is a nw8440 maybe some one has the same one.

    edit-
    Complete removing my drivers and reinstalling official drivers did work :)
  • Kyle Mason · 1 year ago
    It worked for me for a while, so I don't think its the vid card.

    Hey Kyle, have you tried what Marijn did. reload the video driver?
  • Kyle Mason · 1 year ago
    I just did, and now it works, hoooray. Thanks.

    is there any ways to enable realview on geforce 7300GT card?
  • Quantum Leap Technologies · 1 year ago
    What would be the ideal system requirements? I have a lot of customers who ask this question and it would be nice to give them more specifics.

    Best regards,

    i am in the market for a new laptop this week and i want it to be able to run the realview. who has info...

    the GPU (graphics card) is what is key for RealView graphics. If you're buying a new laptop a workstation is going to be the best bet. check the solidworks video card testing just to makes sure. Stay away from the low-end (sub-$1000) range unless you're positive on the card. I've always been burned by laptops people buy because they're a 'good deal.' Best to go with something a little higher price than to struggle through video/rebuilding issues. let us know what you decide on. have fun :)
