I wondered if there was a way to exclude the ground plane from being clipped with a clipping plane.
ME TOO. Chopping off the shadow makes for terrible drawings.
not sure I fully understand what you mean, but you can disable the shadows check box in the display mode you are using
In the attached picture, you can see the floor is cut at the same location as the millwork. What I would prefer is the floor to continue uncut into the foreground. It’s not a big issue, but we can exclude objects from being cut, why not the floor?
Hi Rhettro -
Which display mode are you using?
Please provide a simple file and the output of the Rhino SystemInfo
command.
-wim
Sure. I’m using monochrome as the rendering type.

Thanks.
When I open that file with default Monochrome
settings, it looks like this:
Have you modified your Monochrome
display mode?
-wim
I may have. Is there a setting I should look for?
Since you are on Windows, modified default display modes will be indicated in blue. When you then expand the sections in a display mode, changed individual settings will be indicated in blue.
-wim
Thanks Rob,
This is what I was missing, the check box in the shadow settings. This fixed my issue.
