All elements in Revit showing as halftoned

Gregory Lee

Issue:
One user sees all Revit elements displayed in halftone, while other users with the same settings see the elements normally.

Causes:
This occurs when the internal application DPI settings are not compatible with Revit.

Solution:
1. Right-click on the Revit start icon and select Properties.

2. Navigate to the Compatibility tab and open the Change high DPI settings option.

3. Under High DPI scaling override, check Override high DPI scaling behavior and set it to System.

4. Click OK to save changes, then restart Revit.
