I have a problem where upon completing a drawing operation the curve disappears and is invisible when not selected in all “normal” viewports (i.e. apart from pen & artistic).
Upon selection a polyline is shown as if being in “POn”-Mode, not highlighted yellow.
Upon selection a volume just shows the faces without vertices.
When locking, it “freezes” the “POn”-Mode and grays it out, but upon “unlocking” and “deselecting” the lines disappear again.
(also happens in “opened” files, not just new ones.)
I am running a Windows 7 64-Bit system with an nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti graphics card.
Can you check your Display panel to make sure curves and surface edges are enabled in Wireframe mode? If you click the bottom button in the Display panel you can reset the mode to defaults in Options as well.
@BrianJ
Thanks for you answer! Sadly it doesn’t change anything.
Please find attached a screenshot with all the checkmarks.
tried turning them off, tried changing edge thickness and color reduction, to no avail, sadly.
I checked every single mode, edges and curves are all enabled where they should be.
There’s a bug in your OpenGL display driver where it is not only failing to support a certain feature for drawing, it is not reporting that this feature is failing. I would check to see if an updated driver exists for your GPU. This is the first I’ve seen the bug occur with nvidia so I’m hoping that an updated driver will fix the problem.
GPU tessellation is an optimization we use to draw wires faster.
@stevebaer yep. To no avail, again.
Funnily enough I opened another file and all dimensions, text and dots are shown fine.
just edges and curves not. I do not have the issue with meshes, I just found out. They display just fine as well.
@stevebaer Unfortunately no, I do not. I can pick one up if you’d like… But past experiences tell me that the card I get will most likely work.
@swah What is the exact make of your card? I know it’s a GeForce GTX 660 Ti, but who is the OEM? EVGA? If you have a link to the produce (i.e. Amazon, NewEgg, etc…) Then I know I’ll be getting the exact same card. The problem with just picking up a GTX 660, is that OEMs have their own flavors of cards and overclock and/or tweak them for VAR purposes. So a link to your exact card would be the best path forward.
I know the feeling; some of this stuff is just so darn hard to repeat and even if we can repeat it what do we do when the driver reports no errors for a compiling and drawing with a certain shader
Sorry, I wasn’t very clear with my last question… I’m just want to confirm which version of the drivers you’re using. I have 388.31…just downloaded them.
If you go into Rhino and go to Options->View->OpenGL, you should see the driver info (assuming it’s working for you).
