Troubleshooting

If your Solids aren't showing correctly firstly try reloading your Solids, ensure that your Filters are cleared and that your Hide/Show Solids are turned to Normal or Show All.

If this does not work check the following:

1. Under Processes: A Solids & Quantity Field set and Show In Animation set to True
2. Under Equipment: At least one piece of Equipment has Active set to True for the Process defined in #1
3. The Source Quantity Field for the records in your database needs to be greater than 0
4. The Initial State is not set to 100%
5. Check that Data Extents have been set (right-click Design and select Edit Data Extents)

Also after making any changes ensure you reload your Solids again.
