Hi 1986 -

According to the developers, you are not supposed to use display modes that put a shade on the ground plane when you work with geometry that doesn’t cast shadows. You only have curves and annotations in this scene, and the ones that are below the ground plane will disappear when you use such display modes.

thank you for your reply. So in my case if I want to take a screenshot of those curves and annotations on a white background should I just change background color instead of changing display modes?
