Disappearing Gumball

Rhino
1

Hi all,

Similar to this thread, my gumball disappears when I mouse-over. It’s still there (if I am careful I can grab the invisible arrows) just not rendered to the screen.

And now my selection window (drag LMB) is also not visible. Must be an Nvidia thing, right?

I updated the Nvidia driver and checked for Rhino updates… Any ideas?

Update: The Selection window is BARELY visible if I drag R to L. But totally invisible L to R:

I have only 551.23 installed here - maybe a couple of months old - the selection windows are subtle, but visible…

@declan does this happen in any display mode?

I have no border at all, and the left-to-right box is not coloured at all :frowning:

6

Yep, all display modes.

Ok - Not sure which of these fixed it, but both problems are fixed:

  • downloaded the Game-Ready driver instead of Studio Driver from Nvidia
  • setup Rhino in the Nvidia control panel like this:
