Dissapearing Z Axis

Z axis tends to vanish in Shaded view. It’s been doing this for at least the last 3 builds.

This usually occurs when zoomed in very tight (like when chamfering solid edges) and when you zoom back out the Z axis vanishes.

Going back to Wireframe it will show up, as below:

Going back to Solid it vanishes again.

Once it does it’s gone for good until you save and reopen the file.

Sorry for the slow uptake. I’m unable to repeat this on my machine…maybe my test model isn’t large enough? @pascal are you able to replicate this on your machine?

(I’m creating a large ring-like shape and then zooming into the center of it - all in Shaded mode with the z-axis visibility turned on).

If Show Z axis is on in the display modes (Rhinoceros menu > Preferences > Display modes) then it works, so far, as expected.
