[IDV #VRM-168678]: IDV 5.2: Visualization Errors

Patrick,

In addition to what has been suggested thus far (if that does not work) try:

Dashboard -> Edit -> Preferences -> System - Uncheck Enable geometry by
reference

After making the change, exit and relaunch the IDV to make the change take
effect.

See if that makes a difference, or try both solutions and let us know the
outcome.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
