    Hi @anthony_perpepaj, here are some instructions for forcing hardware acceleration in Chrome, which is usually the reason WebGL isn't working
    1. Go to chrome://settings
    2. Click the Show advanced settings link
    3. Scroll down to the System section and ensure the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox is checked
    4. Go to chrome://flags
    5. Ensure that Disable WebGL is disabled (the link should read "Enable").
    6. Relaunch Chrome for any changes to take effect

    I'd check Onshape at this point. If it's still not working, you can try to force WebGL hardware rendering via the following:
    1. Go to chrome://flags
    2. Enable the flag called Override software rendering list
    Additionally, have you tried running Onshape in another browser like Safari or Firefox?

    What version of Mac OS are you running ? If it is really old it might not work
