Clipping plane not showing surface edge

Hello guys,

I have a problem with using clipping planes for details. Whenever i try to create a cut through detail using clipping planes of a curved surface I get an incomplete edge. This happens with and withoud a custom depth. See figures below. I’d like to not have to add intersect lines every time a want to create a cut through detail.

This is the view in the perspective viewport, you can already see missing lines at the edges.

This is the result in a detail view:

Hi Luuk -

I’m afraid that’s a configuration that we do not support → Rhino - System Requirements

Your GPU driver is 6 years old. The latest for your GPU is at the moment Driver Details | NVIDIA . When you install the new driver make sure to go for the custom/advanced install type and check the Clean Installation checkbox.

Hi Nathan, i checked on a newer PC aswell with much more updated hardware and driver and still have the same problem. I have added my test file below.
