      Hi,

      I recently did a fresh install of SU2016 on my W10 machine. When I checked the OpenGL it only gave me 2 options and showed 'GDI Generic' renderer. I've updated my GPU drivers (GeForce GTX970) and made sure that the OpenGL Rendering GPU was set to the card itself (in the 3D settings from Nvidia itself). See attached screenshot for details.

        Can you post a screenshot of your NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings...
        Program Settings tab > Trimble Sketchup...

          Hi TIG,

          I've found the cause! I'm using W10 Remote Desktop, and did not realise it does not support OpenGL versions higher than 1.1. Now I need to figure out a solution.

          Any other people here using SketchUp via a remote connection?

            Why must you use a remote connection - which, as you have founded, will not work ?
