Curves a funny colour and too thin

Serengeti (Rhino WIP)
1

I’m using WIP 8 on a Macbook Pro (2014), and when I draw a curve it initially inherits the layer colour, but when I press done the curve turns very thin and goes a weird shimmering multicolour.

When I can figure out how to upload a screenshot I’ll do so.

Also, I ran the ‘testmetal’ command just to see if that made any difference, and Rhino crashed. It now crashes when I try to open every time.

Update: I managed to open a new file with Rhino in ‘metal pipeline’ mode. The curves now display as they should, but the viewport is unusably draggy and slow. When I switch back to non-metal pipeline, the curve takes on it’s weird appearance again, but the viewport works fine. It does however display the ‘Legacy OpenGL Display’ icon bottom left of viewport.

I presume you know how to take a screenshot and save it as a file.

To include it in a discourse post just use the

icon in the discourse edit window menu bar to find the file and upload it.

Hi -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Hi Wim,

Thanks, but I can’t seem to update past 11.7.1 at the moment. I’ll keep trying…

I’ve just found out I can’t update my 2014 MBP past Big Sur OS.

When Rhino 8 is out of WIP, will it run properly on my system?

Hi Graham -

The final decision isn’t taken on that issue. There still remains quite a bit of work for the developers of the Metal pipeline and that makes it still too early to be able to set the cut-off.

Thanks Wim, I’ll await the final release.
