Hi there,

An error started happening with my clipping planes that I cannot seem to fix.

Please see the images attached with clipping plane off and then on.

It seems to be drawing lines from all objects to some kind of vanishing point. Not really sure what is going on so would really appreciate some advice!

Many thanks in advance

Hello - can you please post the object and clipping plane, or send the file to [tech@mcneel.com](mailto:tech@mcneel.com)? Is the mesh far from the origin?

It could be that it’s the curves? But I want these lines to be visible in the views so don’t want to turn them off… or is this not possible?

Many thanks

Hello - this looks OK here - can you run `SystemInfo` in Rhino and paste the results here?

Hello - your video driver is ancient - let’s start there - can you please open the Notifications panel (Panels menu) and double-click the notification about the video driver - follow along there and see if you can get a later driver for your gpu. Install that and see if anything looks better.
