Certain Panels Will Not Actually Open

Hello,

I’m struggling to find a current solution even though I’ve checked most forums that seem to correlate to this issue.

I click on certain panels i.e. Lights, Named Views and they do not open. It runs the command, though there seems to be no output, there’s no floating panel window at all.

please open rhino, run the systeminfo command and post the result-

try making the laptop monitor your primary screen and extend to the plug in as the secondary… having the plug in as the main causes all sorts of weird graphics glitches.


no apparent effect after setting the laptop as primary screen.

The issue still occurs, even without the monitor plugged in. It runs the command and then nothing happens after that. no tab or window pops up.

it also doesn’t show up as apart of the docked tools on the right hand side (No Lights / Named Views Panel)

Here’s what the systeminfo command shows after disconnecting the monitor:

Hi Kai -

So, if you run the NamedView command from the command line, it just runs that but no panel shows up?
What if you disable Enscape in the Plug-ins and restart Rhino?
-wim

Got It!
Turns out the issue wasn’t enscape, but RDK Plugin which for some reason was turned off
