Hi guys, I am having graphics issues. When I place a node to obtain some 3D object like a cylinder, cone, etc, the 3D background turns into half of the available workspace. As you can see, in capture 1 everything is good but when I connect Cylinder.ByRadius node, the workspace reduces to half (see capture 2). And the same happens when I connect the node Cone.ByPoint. I think the problem is when I try to reproduce a 3D surface. capt1 ![001](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/b/1/b145ef31da5b13a96761b1dbe5eee19276b5dfbb.png) capt2 ![002](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/3/d/3de820f8b228bc7e6074d71d6774aebf242115f2.png) cap3 ![003](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/7/e/7ed6b78bef318ee701d7426b1235ba720c3b9d22.png) I am really sure that is a graphics problem, but is there a way to fix it? Specifications of my computer are in the following capture. By the way, It has integrated graphics (Intel® HD 3000) ![004](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/c/aca234d60b00e07e51770dfb757f673c9c86c092.png) I know that a graphics card is needed, but I think there must be a solution to this issue. Hope you help me. Thanks in advance Regards, Cesar ---

So, are you saying that currently you have NO graphics card in your computer? ---

I did not explain that so well. My laptop does not have a dedicated graphics card ---

My guess is that this is likely the issue. Not sure if you’re in studio, core, dynamo for Revit, or some other home-brew. I can’t readily find the requirements for core, but the published requirements for Dynamo Studio are “3d Graphics in Dynamo Studio requires Windows 7 or Windows 8 with a DirectX 10 compatible GPU” and I believe Dynamo for Revit has the same requirements as regular Revit (which you don’t currently meet). A possible work around which I haven’t tried (you’re already into unsupported territory here) would be to disable the back round preview and rely on watch 3d nodes. No idea if it would work. ---

with background preview ![1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/9/6978e716f53d4434bce61bd14c2c01e489c67bfe.png) without background preview. ![2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/c/4/c4ef2d67380c5881fe182e7c804ae3c6a20f0f66.png) As you see, the issue appears on watch3d node too. I usually work fine with Revit. By the way these captures are in Dynamo for Revit but the same happens in Dynamo Studio ☹ ---
