When starting the 3D visualization, I receive a message that no z-buffer is available – what does this mean?

This message means that an important hardware feature for the 3D display is not available on the graphics card being used.

Possible reasons:

• DirectX version lower than 9.0c.
• DirectX 9.0c is not supported by your graphics card.
• You are using a terminal server solution. The DirectX graphics component is not capable of running on a terminal server.
• You are using a Windows emulator. Not all Windows emulators support DirectX.
• Your graphics card does not support all required 3D accelerations.

In many cases an update of your graphics card drivers can help.
