I've been using revit for almost a decade now.  I know the ins and outs of this program.  And I'm really baffled this time.  I have two machines running Revit 2011.  On one machine I made a model and rendered it in draft qualtiy to get all the tweaks worked out before I created a final rendering.  The draft renderings were perfect.  After I was all done editing, I opened it on the other computer and began rendering and all the walls, ceilings and decals appear to be invisible.  (See attached image). 

I tried re-opening the file on the other computer and render, and again it was rendering fine on the first computer. 

I have installed the latest service pack and updates.  I have ckecked to make sure the location of the decals can be found.  I have changed the properties of the walls hoping it was just a fluke, but all of this was to no avail.

A couple of days ago, I got a weird error on the second computer about the fact that the visual drivers were being used elsewhere and couldn't be used at the same time.  I didn't know what it meant and it's never come back.  But all of my problems have started since then. 

The only thing I can think of is that the first computer is a 32-bit machine and the second is a 64-bit machine.  However, the renderings used to work just fine.  This problem just started two days ago.

 Any ideas?

 Thanks!

I wonder if it could be the material libraries. Are the located on a central server or does each machine have its own? Maybe the wall material definitions have the same name but different settings on the 2 computers.

Just a guess I haven't done any rendering work since they changed the rendering engine in Revit.

That's a really good point, and I did think of that.  They are sharing the same library and even so, it was working just fine until Monday when I got that weird Visual error (and I'm sorry, I don't remember what the error was, because it never returned after that!)
