I was trying to extract geometry control from Clipping planes in Rhino 8 and found a weird problem .
In Rhino 8 , the point of the plane is not related with the clipping plane in a normal way. Its X axis is base off from the edge control points of the clipping plane , which make sense.
While its Y axis point is a random number (no matter in metric or imperial) and would scale related with the plane , as you can see the 11’5 13/16" would become 22’11 5/8" when its scale up 100 %.
Where in Rhino 7 it doesn’t behave like this . Rhino 7 is simple , it just relates with the corner of the plane , which make sense.
Is there anyway to solve this besides a workaround on the scripting side ?
You didn’t attach any .3dm and .gh files here. In a quick test, Rhino 8 puts the “point of the plane” in the center of the clipping plane, whereas Rhino 7 puts it, as you said, in the corner. To me, Rhino 8 makes most sense. But then, neither size nor center matter much for the function of a clipping plane, so I’m not sure what you are needing this for…
Interesting, yes , the one you show for Rhino 8 is what I wish mine is showing . but somehow… its not .
My Installed version is 8 SR10
And here is my rhino file and gh file , which you can take a look if its something native happening to it. Export 1.3dm (46.7 KB) EXPORT 1.gh (1.5 KB)
I had a chance but was unable to reproduce what you are seeing in your screenshots. Perhaps you could try updating your Rhino to version 8.11 and see if that helps?
