BimX viewing problem from ArchiCAD 17

Hi I am not sure if anyone has encountered the same problem. A project was originally made in AC16 recently migrated to AC17, and exported as a BimX model. While navigating around the surfaces started to 'split' and showing objects and walls behind, as if the walls become semi-transparent.

- Please see attached image

I am wondering if this is due to the building material conversion in AC17.

Apology no attachment previously.

After the watching the webinar on Migrating to AC17, I think I need to do a proper clean up of the model and building materials and see if it improves.

I haven't experienced this problem so probably can't be of much help.
Have you tried updating your video card drivers - the first thing I always check when things don't appear as they should.

Also you mention the job was converted to 17 but you show it being saved in version 16 build 3827.
Is your problem in 17 or 16?

Barry,
All video cards drivers are up to date.
Yes the job was documented in AC16 recently migrated to AC17.
We started to experience to BIMx problem from BIMx17.
So I did a test to save it back to AC16 and export to BIMx again and got the same results.
