Display glitch with TestMetal

[furtonb]

Hi,

Using RhinoWIP on an Apple Silicon MBP, I’m running into display glitches with TestMetal On.

The model should be the smaller part at the bottom of this triangular thing – it’s not selectable, I can’t figure out what this is coming from either.

Can I send the file to someone privately?

I’m using Human’s Render Text to Screen component and I used Arctic view before, there is a similar (unanswered) thread with a different kind of display issue – I don’t know if it has to do anything with it.

Thanks!

It looks frozen from the screenshot. Try unfreezing everything and give it a try.

Can you select all and tell us if it is selectable?

Does that mean that the problem goes away when you are not using that?
You can upload private files to Rhino - Upload to Support - make sure to copy the address of this thread in the comments field.

I can confirm that this is happening to me as well.

Hi Michael -

@Michael_Carroll

I can confirm that this is happening to me as well.

I’m afraid that doesn’t add any information that can be used in tracking this issue.
As a minimum, we’ll need your SystemInfo and a 3dm file.

Thanks for the replies.

It is not frozen, if I switch to Legacy OpenGL display mode, the model appears as it should again.

I can’t isolate if that is causing it, after restarting the computer and opening the file for the first time, it shows fine for a while, but as I start working in it, loading GH, etc., it just stops behaving well.

I use Metal display to model and navigate, and Legacy OpenGL to generate reports from LBT sunlight studies in this model, that’s why I’m switching between them all the time.

I have uploaded a Rhino model, this is my SystemInfo report:

sysinfo.txt (9 Bytes)

Let me know if you need further description of the problem, or more information.

Hi -

@furtonb

I have uploaded a Rhino model

Thanks for that model! It looks like those artifacts are somehow caused by a few mesh objects in the scene. I’ve filed this as RH-70557 Display Metal: Meshes cause display issue

Thanks for the report; this will be fixed in the next WIP.

RH-70557 is fixed in the latest WIP.

[Michael_Carroll]

I can confirm fix. Opened my large model and it flys… Whoever is working on this module is bad to the bone! Thank you.

[Michael_Carroll]

Wim, sorry for not getting information to you. I am fielding two positions and my time is a bit compromised. However, last updated fixed this issue. You all have made my life much easier today. Thank you.

[furtonb]

Thanks, Dan!
It took me some time to get back to this, I can confirm that the problematic model displays OK with TestMetal On.

[Michael_Carroll]

Looks like this display glitch (sharding) issue is back. The purple in this screen shot is the massive sharding that grows out of the model and completely freezes Rhino.

[stevebaer]

I think we have this fixed with our internal builds. Hopefully you’ll see this fixed in tomorrow’s WIP as well.

Sweet!
