People might need more information to respond - like, Archicad version, Graphics card, is this something that has just started happening, or a new installation of AC?

Its may be an OpenGL driver issue.

To test, do this: go to "3d Windows Settings" menu and change 3d Engine to "Internal Engine". Open a 3d window and if it doesn't crash then you may need to do update your graphics card driver (sometimes you may even have to go to an earlier version), check that the card is supported by Archicad and lastly turn down graphics card acceleration if the card is not fully compatible.

If all this fails just use the "Internal Engine"

I am having a similar problem. My model is fine in 2d, but when I switch to a 3d view, nothing is visible. All the items are there, if I select all, they all highlight, but nothing displays in 3d. I've tried all my 3d views, none work. The model was working up until a few days ago, and now I cannot see any objects in 3d view. If I render them with Lightworks, they are there, and visible, but will not display in OpenGL. Help!

I'm using a OSX Leopard, Archicad 11, fully updated.

I've attached a quick screenshot.
