Curves of cylinder won’t display

Hey Everyone,

Im trying to make a front view of my model but Rhino clips the side of the cilinders (see screenshot)
Any clue whats going on?

Hi @Niels_Halferkamps
It looks as if maybe you are in wireframe mode, and if that is indeed the case - and you have isocurves turned off, cylinders will show up as just the top/bottom edges and the seam along the vertical axis. If you look at the same geometry in perspective, you’ll see what I mean. If this is technical view mode, there’s most certainly something wrong.


HTH, Jakob

It’s indeed in wireframe mode. But that means we should not be using Wireframe anymore to make 2D drawings. Thank you! (technical mode works properly)
