Hi All,

I got this black screen patch in the middle of my screen when I fire up Revit. 

The black patch doesn't go away even when I close the program, and just stays there.

Have to restart the computer to get rid of the black patch, but once I restart the program the same thing appears.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,

I came across your question about the black square in the middle of revit when searching for the same problem.

Did you eve find a solution to this? I am trying to get revit working on my new laptop and this keeps happening everytime i start the app.

I am using an AMD radeon graphics card with a RTX 5060 GPU if that helps

Any help or answer you can give would be hugely appreciated

Thanks

This black patch issue happens sometimes with certain AMD or hybrid GPU setups. A few things that might help: update your graphics drivers, try toggling DirectX 11/12 in Revit’s Graphics options, or test running Revit on just the integrated GPU. Clearing Revit’s cache can also help.

Has anyone found a permanent fix for this?

Try updating your graphics driver (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel — whichever you use) and make sure hardware acceleration in Revit is turned off temporarily to test.

Also, check if the black patch appears when you run other programs — if it does, it’s definitely a GPU overlay or driver bug. If not, a clean reinstall of Revit or switching to DirectX 11 in options can often fix it.As a Construction Project Manager at PUNIN GROUPjavascript:mctmp(0);, I oversee complex development projects from planning to completion, ensuring quality, efficiency, and innovation in every stage of construction.
