Think we are barking up the wrong tree. Yes, I see the 3-D tab, and the models are 1 to 9 stories. Again, I have 4 gB in RAM. Memory is NOT the issue.

Hi John,
Do you see the 3D tab beside the 2D tab in the building envelope section? If not, then you would need to free more memory on your computer, or view it in a faster computer. 
If it's a tall building and you only need a visual representation (say for showing in a report), save the model in a new name, change the program to go back to wizard mode, and put a check mark for "floor multiplier" in the first window of the building shell that has the most floors. This makes the model to use much less memory and enable you to see it. Just remember that going back to wizard mode would result in all your changes in the details mode to be lost. So if the window sizes were edited in DD mode, you won't see those anymore.
