Cplane Grid Visibility Issue

There seems to be a possible bug with Cplane creation.

I created a Cplane with 3 points and after it’s created, the grid of it disappears, although it’s still there.
I know it’s still there because I saved it as a named Cplane and in another viewport set the Cplane to that and set view to plan. In this second viewport the grid for the Cplane shows up as expected/created - But in the original viewport in which the Cplane was created, no matter what I do I can’t get it back(grid showing). I tried changing between the standard grids and the new Cplane, and also close/reopen the file - but it still stays ‘borked’. Only way around is to close that viewport and use another one. Just thought I would bring it up as a possible issue that could be looked at.

Hi Baba -

There isn’t enough information in your description to be able to troubleshoot this issue. Please provide both a simple 3dm file and the output of the Rhino SystemInfo command.

Although I’m not needing for the issue to be ‘resolved’ - I’m good with doing the workaround I described, I mainly posted in case you discover someone else has the same issue, it would indicate it’s not an isolated one.
However here’s the Rhino file. I did SystemInfo but there seems to be too much information to post publicly that I’m comfortable with. If you would still like to see it though, I would send it ‘privately’ if there’s a channel for that.

They have been turned in the Display properties

Ok…thanks, that makes it easier.

But the ‘question’ would be then; Why when creating a cplane with 3 points…would those options get turned off?

Hi,
After you create your cplane or activated a named one you might have to turn the grid on.
You can do this by hitting the F7 hotkey which turns on and off the current grid.

In V7 if you have the grid on when you create a cplane via 3points then the grid displays when you use that grid so this looks like a bug in V8 though I don’t have V8 to test with. Also be wary of universal vs regular cplanes I don’t know what the gird does in this case since all Viewports are updated.

There’s definitely been bugs. There’s a few other threads for sure.

I can tell you they’re definitely working on fixing things, and there’s certainly been improvements.

I don’t remember if everything about it has been resolved. It’s maybe 85% fixed, or rather loop holes.

I’d have to reference some threads and review this. Seems to me the situation is way better now than it was in the spring season.

Looks like there were still bugs in May relative to the wip at the time:

This was one of the times when I focused on it here in Feb:

Pretty sure it’s better than it was, but not 100% yet.

I’ll probably do some evaluations going forward to see where it’s at so far.

I usually just turn off the grid as much as possible to hurdle over the bugs. :face_holding_back_tears:

These are the grid settings I currently mostly use:
