Hi Sunil, I have faced the same issue with my AMD graphics processor. The issue was resolved when I changed the default graphics for dynamo from High performance to Power saving graphics. The background preview is visible and workable. Kindly refer to [https://github.com/DynamoDS/Dynamo/issues/5818#issuecomment-261055495](https://github.com/DynamoDS/Dynamo/issues/5818#issuecomment-261055495) ---

Hi Sunil, Kindly change the ‘preferred graphics processor’ to Intel/Default Graphics and try starting Revit. I suggest to do this as it resolved the issue in my work laptop. Revit doesn’t rely much upon the high-end graphic processor for Visuals compared to Rhinoceros which uses GPU acceleration for display. Regards ---
