Hi all; When I start DS, the grid shows, then all the sudden diappears. Is there a fix for that? Thanks

Click on the viewport options menu (4 horizontal bars in the upper right-hand corner of the viewport) and make sure "Show Floor" is checked.

Hope this helps.

Showing briefly and then vanishing sounds like the viewport is using nVidia Iray preview mode, set by the button to the right of the camera/view picker at to[p-right of the viewport. It shows the OpenGL preview while preparing, with the griud, then switches toIray, without

Hi Greg.. I checked and it was set to show floor.. but that was still helpful as everyday I discover more about all these settings :o) Richard, I am not sure of what that is..but if you recall awhile back I tweaked the views..as to make it mostly white font on black BG due to eyesight isues.. I swtiched though to another layout and it reappeared. To be honest I am not really overly impressed by all the Iray hype anyways..thinking seriously about switching back to the ATI / AMD card.. The nVidia card is ok in Daz..but seems it causes havoc in some other applications such as my Xfinity player where it crashes a lot. Hopefully Daz in the future will come up with a renderer that is well rounded for both nVidia and ATI..

have you got a second pci slot?

if so put your nvidia card in that  and manually select it in D|S preferences.

other apps and your monitors will pretty much ignore it unless specifically set, your PC will prob put a warninng message about incompatibility you can close up everytime you start up but otherwise is ok.

Make sure you have a driver for both.
