Dimensions BUG, no numbers displayed

[bertram]

Hi, I´m using rhino 6 under parallels with windows 10 on a mac… usually this works really good for me.
But after having done the latest updates on rhino, windows and Parallels, i see a really annoying behavior (or Bug?) in rhino.
All dimensions are displayed without any numbers.
When i look into the preferences of the dimension, i can see the korrekt number and when i do a layout-Page and print it to PDF, the PDF shows the correct numbers… but i cant see it within Rhino, no matter what size, scale or font I’m using for displaying the dimensions.
BTW, when running Rhino 5 everything is fine on my machine.

So i guess its a display-matter or Bug related to the new rhino 6 display-technology…

Does anyone experiences the same?

Sometime in the model, dims are really small, try zooming in on the middle of the dim?

[bertram]

no, there is nothing … zooming in or changing the display scale won’t show anything

Hi - running Rhino on Parallels is not supported.
Rhino 6 demands a higher version of OpenGL than what Rhino 5 did, and Parallels does not implement that.

worked fine until today ;(

[bertram]

what open GL version is required ?

@bertram

what open GL version is required ?

I keep thinking it’s 4.6 but it might be just below that as well.

Yes, it looks like something changed out there. We’re getting a few of these now:

Rhino 6 display issues

Just to add to this discussion, I’ve been running a licensed copy of Rhino 6 For Windows (the most recent version) within Parallels Desktop 14.1.1(45476) For Mac Pro Edition on my Late 2012 - 3.4 GHz - Intel Core i7 - iMac (macOS Mojave version 10.14.3) without any problems whatsoever for the last few months until recently. So apparently a recent change or a series of changes to the software applications involved has finally put the kibosh on Rhino 6 For Windows (P.D. virtual machine version). …

R 6 using Parallels Issue with Annotation Text display

I see. I am still stumped that it worked until mid December. I’ll check out VMWare unless anyone else has any recommendations. Thanks!

[bertram]

hmm, well… i got a backup from last week… i guess ill just go back to this version

According to @stevebaer VMWare has the OpenGL horsepower to handle Rhino 6.
I would hope that any Parallels users who are having this issue let their feelings be known to Parallels support. I have the impression that OpenGL is not that important to them for some reason.

[bertram]

parallels supports openGL 3.2 as they say in there support documentation… VMware says it supports openGL 3.3 … i don’t know if this the missing “horsepower”
