no 3d?

This is probably something easy But I have brought in an 8.2 file into a 9.0 file and I can't get any 3d views. The screen is blank. I couldn't save it I could only close it. SOOOOOO I opened a 9.0 file and merged it with this problem file and it doesn't work in the 3d window. You would think that graphisoft would make this a little more intuitive. You didn't have this problem from 5 to 6 or 6 to 7 or 7 to 8, why make it more difficult?

if the 3d engine is set to openGL make sure that the mode is shading or wireframe

Hmmm ... layers? Is it a perspective or a parallel projection? Did you try to put a fat marquee around everything in a plan view and open the 3D window? Zoom to fit with all layers unlocked and on in plan - is everything there on every storey, or do you get a blank storey sometimes?

Did you try rebuilding the 3D window?

What are the 3D window settings (screenshot, please) ?

Thanks guys,

No it isn't any of those items. Strange thing is if I draw anything new, the 3d works fine, but nothing that got "converted" works.
