Bug Report: Clipping Planes with Text Dots in Blocks

Clipping planes sometimes incorrectly make text dots invisible when the text dot is part of a block.


Specifically, the clipping planes clip as though the block were located at the origin rather than at the instance insert location.

Thanks for reporting, can you provide the file and your systemInfo and i’ll get a youtrack going. RH-83833

Your Nvidia driver is getting old enough to become suspect especially since your Rhino is from the middle of August. You might want to update it and see what happens. There was a new Rhino Service Release last Tuesday along with a new SRC. There should be a new Service Release Candidate early this evening Pacific Daylight Time.
