On my Gforce 6600 card the use of graphics() instead of graphics3D() did not update the screen. with a simple loop that drew lines each frame. Just changing to graphics3D took care of the problem. This is using the C# wrapper.

Blitz3D has different default buffers for 3D and 2D graphics modes. Graphics3D defaults to the back buffer while Graphics uses the front buffer. After setting a 2D mode you can explicitly set the buffer like this: bbSetBuffer bbBackBuffer()

Floyd: I will try that tonight, it's been a *long* time since I used B3D and I forgot to do the bbbackbuffer command. Thanks

I gave the backbuffer a try and it is working now. Thanks again.
