I’ve clipped a cut plane through this model, which contains many of the identical elements repeated around as blocks. Here it is in Rendered View Mode:
But it raytraces like this - the clipped blocks running along the y axis display as voids. (In other non-clipped views all objects raytrace properly):
A fog effect illuminates the situation a little more:
The black spots are there because there is no light inside those objects.
Thanks, but the black parts aren’t the problem, Nathan. They’re the clipped walls and pilasters displaying, running left to right in the image, and they’ll do. The problem is the identical objects running perpendicular (top to bottom in the raytraces) which don’t display at all in the raytrace;
Not sure what to look at, hard to tell from just the screenshots. You’ll probably need to share a file with @lars for further investigation.
Thatll have to wait til I’m back at the office after this long weekend.
I’m going to upload this project. I need all clipped objects to display with the same fill in a raytraced plan view. I can’t get it to work. Thanks for looking into this.
Hi @djhg,
Primary display: Intel(R) UHD Graphics (Intel) Memory: 2GB, Driver date: 1-15-2026 (M-D-Y).
This needs to be figured out. You need to find out why your Windows is not telling Rhino to use the 16GB card, and why it is passing off the 1GB as the primary card.
You have a NVIDIA RTX A5000 16GB, but Rhino is notified at open by Windows that this is not the primary video.
Typically changing the power settings to make the Nvidia card preferred is all you need to do.
This will makes it so when Rhino opens, Windows tells Rhino to use your NVIDIA RTX as the primary OpenGL card.
Creating an application profile from within the Display Settings for “High Performance” on the GPU typically forces Windows tell Rhino to use the NVIDIA RTX as the primary OpenGL card.
Take another look at Soooo, you bought a laptop with hybrid graphics and rhino doesn't run right. READ THIS
After creating the High Performance application profile from within the Display Settings dialog, reboot, reopen Rhino and do the SystemInfo again.
You should see that your Nvidia is the Primary Display.
And until you have some resolution, boot your Laptop to only the primary monitor. Unplug all other USB hubs and external monitor before you reboot.
Also disable your 3rd party plugins:
If this is not the case, you will need to call our tech support and work with the voice tech.

Thanks Mary
I don’t know if you saw my reply to Doaa when Doaa recommended ensuring that High Performance was set, but my Graphics settings do indeed show all versions of Rhino being set to High Performance. Tomorrow I’ll investigate the other conditions.

Hi David,
Yes, of course, the tech email system is available to the entire team for review and additions.
I replied to you on email too. Your Rhino display will not work until you get this resolved.
Windows is the one that tells Rhino to use the high perfomance card.
This is why we want to make sure the display in Windows is set to High Perfomance for this card’s profile.
Also important: disable 3rd party plugins and boot to only the laptop screen.
Open Rhino and see if the RTX is the primary graphics card.
Do the SystemInfo again.
Call tech if you need additional help.
Thanks again!

I unplugged my secondary monitor, my tertiary monitor (a Cintiq) and my usb hub. I deactivated all plugins. Rhino still booted up with System Info telling me the primary display is my onboard display card. So the next call was to tech support, where Matt recommended unistalling the Nividia driver and reinstalling it. I did, following specific instructions provided. Rhino still booted up with System Info telling me the primary display is my onboard display card.
