oh yeah I meant to add the wip category for the topic - no wonder it hasn’t been seen by the superiors!
What an odd thing - seems quite annoying - mine never crashes however it’s kind of extra annoying that it won’t display; this on top of the custom preview actually never going away (when using r7) as you right-click the icon and check ‘render’ off - nothing happens - however I am also ignorant as to whether or not anything should happen - I suppose every computer presents different glitches.
Where you able to solve this? I am getting the same problem in R7. Whenever I turn on the Artic/Render mode I cannot see the result of the Custom Preview component. I checked all the parameters in the Options menu for the Artic mode, but it made no difference (or maybe I did not check them well).
Not sure what to tell you, plus it’s been a while…I don’t think this happens anymore - 'probably reinstalled Rhino and updated my graphics card and what not
I found that the problem is somehow related to meshes, specifically involving a conflict between the mesh color and the preview component. Just letting you know in case someone wants to follow the problem. I just found a workaround removing the colour of the mesh.
