Dark grey models issue!

[Phuc_Le]

How do I change the color of the models in Rhino 8? I am running into an issue that my objects always have a dark color or dark grey to black in any views except monochrome. In Rhino 7, everything is a bit brighter. Please help or advise on a solution.

Option1:changing layer color.
Option 2:assign materials to your model objects.
etc.

Please post a screen shot of what you are seeing, and the results from running the systeminfo command in Rhino.

I can only change the background color but not the object in any display mode. Please take a look at the attached images. Thank you!

Compared with Rhino 7, the display is different with the same setting. The attached image with white models is from Rhino 7.

This is what I want to set up in Rhino 8 but don’t know how.

This is your problem:

Unplug this device and plug your monitor directly into your laptop’s graphics port.

Hi,

Thank you for your response. Do you mean that I have to use a different computer to run Rhino 8, or is there another way to make this work?

No it means to stop using the dumb USB hub to connect your monitors, it has its own “video card” device inside that is wrecking everything.

This is your problem:

Wouldn’t that apply to Rhino 7 also? While it is a problem and needs fixing, might the difference in colour derive from a further problem? I guess we’ll know once the first problem is fixed.
