I have a handful of display modes that have stopped working - example being one I made based off of monochrome, which now just displays like wireframe or shaded but with no 3D geometry. what I expect: [image] what I get (these are just curves that were wrapped up in the blocks): [image] This h…

Another example using technical ultra from this thread: Share your custom viewport modes here - #116 by Rhino_Bulgaria Goes to wireframe while retaining the custom background. I’ve experienced this where the mesh can’t be calculated but no such issue is shown on the command line [image] If I rei…

Hi @aramon could you export the display modes you have tweaked that don’t display correctly and send these? Also run_SystemInfo and post back the results, thanks

Basically all styles based on monochrome or technical. Maybe there’s others being affected too but these are the ones I’ve noticed and had repeated issue with Rhino 8 SR12 2024-10-8 (Rhino 8, 8.12.24282.07001, Git hash:master @ 2f42167325d83e0da0f3fe08e796c2b26e602bc5) License type: Educational, b…

that’s really odd. I can confirm that the settings look like they are made from wireframe, but looking at the ini they are certainly not. Do you have any ideas when/how this happens? Do they get busted during modeling? After restarting Rhino? With certain actions? Do they get busted all at the sa…

This has happened twice now - where they get wiped after I fix them It never happens mid session - I’ll be using it, close out, then maybe next day I open the file and switch to a display mode to export some images and they look like the wireframe. So after restarting Rhino I’m almost certain that…

I feel like both times it happened while working in a large (over 100mb) file with a ton of geometry in it - not the same files each time though - a working file for testing out some massings and unit types, so when I go to switch and it’s in wireframe I assume it’s because it failed to generate the…

Hi Gijs, just wondering if there’s any update on what might be causing this? I’ve lost a few more (or maybe just noticed losing them). Would appreciate any insight you or anyone else on the team might have into this.

I see I forgot to mention the YT back here: RH-84677 Display modes get busted

Bumping this issue as I also noticed all my custom display modes in Rhino 8 are now wireframe. In the time that they went from working to broken - I installed no new plugins. You can see the display mode options for the same display mode in Rhino 7 vs Rhino 8. In Rhino 7 it still functions correcly…

Hmm… and strangely, just now when I tab back to the same Rhino 8 window where I just took the above screenshot - I do not see any of my custom display modes listed… [image] [image] this is the same rhino instance. The only change I made was from switching from my custom display mode to the defa…

I had a similar bug happening multiple times during the time. But mine is Rhino 7. Last time the bug occurred yesterday and deleted all my display modes, including the default ones. I also lost ability to save. The Gumball size was also wrong afterwards. The framerate was super bad and with no anti-aliasing.
