FAQ 004922 EN
In my model, some surfaces are displayed in gray, while others are displayed in white without a gray filling. The "solid transparent" display type is selected for the graphics. How I display all surfaces in gray?
Answer
The cause is very likely to be found in the lighting settings. In Project Navigator - Display, you can adjust the lighting for the model (see the image). Depending on the orientation of the model, it may happen that some surfaces appear white due to the direct lighting.
You can quickly adjust the individual lights at any time. Thus, the optimum lighting of the model is ensured at every viewing angle.

Depending on stiffness, mass, and damping, structures react differently to wind action.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How is it possible to add or remove tables in the printout report?
- The display of result values is too inaccurate. Where can I set to see more result values for member internal forces?
- How do I apply prestress to tension members?
- I have numeric stiffnesses of my members. How can I assign the stiffnesses to a member without having to create a notional material and a cross-section?
- I have bought a new computer. How can I use my softlock license on it?
- How do I install the network license (USB dongle) on the server?
-
In my Dlubal Software programs, I have a problem that the umlauts and special characters cannot be displayed. How can I change that?
- Can I also use the load generator for the members that do not rest in one plane?
- How is the friction set on a member hinge via the COM interface?
- Is it possible to keep the results from RWIND Simulation when deleting the FE mesh if I only adjust materials or support conditions?
