Difference in Layout Printing Between Rhino 7 VA2 and Rhino 8 VA3

Hi guys,

I’ve noticed a difference in how layouts are printed between Rhino 7 (VA2) and Rhino 8 (VA3).
In Rhino 7, when using the “Realistic” display mode on a layout and setting the print mode to “Vector,” the output was actually printed as a vector.
However, in Rhino 8, using the same “Realistic” mode with vector printing enabled results in a rasterized output instead.
I also tried disabling shadows to see if it would change anything, but the result is the same.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on how to fix or work around it?
Thanks in advance!

Best,
Alessandro

Hi @Alessandro_Barbisan a detail view in Realistic display mode is always printed as a raster. I’m surprised you say it prints to vector output in VA 2 for Rhino 7.
If you want to print a view with lighting and materials to vector output, there is a trick consisting in combining two detail views one on top of the other, and set the display of one of them to Hidden.
