materials not displaying

2023 not rendering materials or textures

 

Also not shading  or showing hatches

Below is an example of a downloaded project from VW straight from the download.  The screen shots are from a drawing sheet showing before and after I Reloaded the views. For some reason textures/materials DO NOT render.  I have closed and rebooted my machine, have reinstalled VW twice, etc.  Nothing seems to work.  I have a feeling it is a graphics card issue, register setting or another setting somewhere that I am not aware of.  I had a similar problem when I first got VW2021.  I was using Windows 7 and was told that Cineware wa not compatible with that windows version, so I had to use VW 2020.  I have subsequently upgraded to Windows 10 (which has been a royal pain by the way) and have been very pleased with VW 2022.  Is there a similar issue now with Windows 10?

Do you have the Textures check box checked in Shaded Options?

Thanks for the response.  As you can see, the Shaded Options Textures is grayed out.  I have not found a way to rectify this.

Thank you.  Yes, I had read those comments.  I rebooted, but nothing changed.  I then re-installed VW23 - same issue.  Rebooted again - nothing changed. This is so frustrating.  It seems that whenever I get ANY updates to software, etc. I run into a myriad of issues. I thought I would never get Windows 10 to recognize my network drives - Windows turned off auto detect for some reason.  I am thinking that possibly the issue with VW23 is a setting in the registry.
