Clipping plane hides isocurves and edges

Rhino
,
1

Hi, I’m using (8.0.23304.9001, 2023-10-31)

If I’m working with shade and cut an object with the clipping plane, the isocurves and edges of the clipped object dissappear.

THen I tried activating the GPU tesselation

Hi Joaquin - can you please run SystemInfo in Rhino and post the results?

Why do you have GPU tessellation disabled? That should only be something you need to do when you are experiencing problems

6

Hi Steve, apparently I disabled it the other day I had another issue with something else, but I’m ok enabling it now. Anyway knowing the issue may help someone else.

7

following this thread: I am having this problem now as well, I had to turn off tessellation as well due to another issue of my computer crashing

If GPU tessellation is ever a problem, the first thing to do is see if there an an update for your graphics driver.
