If you receive an error message or come across an abort when trying to render a 3D scene please try the following workflows:
1) Check for a Video Card Driver update. Work through the steps in this article.
2) Check to see if OMCORE.EXE is added to your driver control panel, and to ensure the driver is set as the primary OpenGL rendering GPU:
- Right-click desktop background and select NVIDIA control panel.
- Select Manage 3D Settings.
- Select the Program Settings tab.
- Select 'Add' and browse to the omcore.exe .
- 'C:\program files\geosoft\desktop applications 9\ bin\omcore.exe'
- Under 'Specify the settings for this Program, scroll to 'OpenGL rendering GPU' and select your video driver.
3) If you are you using a laptop with external monitors (perhaps through a docking station), try undocking the laptop and run through a few workflows within the 3D view.
4) Set the software to handle the rendering of the 3D view.
