I doubt this is a driver issue JB. @osuire do you know if this just started in SR11? Do you have a model that we can repeat the issue with? I doubt it since you mention it is unpredictable, but I have to ask.
The other day, as I was doing lots of detail view fiddling, it happened every 10 minutes, and the only way to bring things back to normal was to close and open Rhino again, well⌠just like my issue with the blank menu panels.
Maybe I should reinstall Windows as you suggested⌠and quit CAD altogether.
I have to admit I have more and more trouble trying to help when I know that comments like this are going to be thrown at me. Iâm only trying to figure out what is causing the problem so we can diagnose and fix the bug.
I have more and more trouble working knowing that wacky glitches are going to rain on me.
What can I say ? Iâm not making them up !
Iâm not even reporting all of them.
Just for recap, we have multiple people in the office suddenly unable to edit text, user texts, dots, âŚ
Maybe we should ALL re-install Windows, or throw our brand new Dells, I donât know.
I donât want to hurt your feelings, I just want to work normally.
Or maybe thereâs just no point asking an old disgruntled vinegar pissing lad like me to produce explanations, files, endless lists of system specs.
Having done that times and times again throught the years and never seeing any real improvement could be the cause of my condition.
So just put my posts on the heap and answer the nice fellows instead, or outright ban me from the âRhino for Windowsâ side of the forum.
Please try the SR11 release candidate that was released today. There was a clipping plane issue that I fixed this week that caused similar flickering effects. Maybe this is related to what you are seeing.
FWIW, Olivier, I was able to reproduce âsomething like thisâ yesterday but that involved a scene with large distances from the origin and a specific workflow to trigger the behavior - RH-49547.
If you could supply a file and workflow, I will try to reproduce the issue you are experiencing.
Are there clipping planes in this model? There were a few clipping plane related issues that Jeff and I have been working on lately, but without a file I can only guess at what Iâm seeing in the videos.
I am having similar issues in V6 where hatches suddenly appear invisible and I think that I have wrongly deleted something only to find that undoing all the way back to start doesnât bring them back, because they were not deleted in the first place. It has happened in multiple files and I think I might have found a loose link:
But first note: Everything I draw is close to origin and ALL hatches becomes invisible.
They have linked files that are far from origin, then moved close to origin where I need them so I can work without display glitches due to far from origin issues lately adressed by Mitch.
Rhino was idle in the background for a while while other software was used.
So something is wrong. I donât understand why Rhino suddenly should choose to not draw stuff while still working apparently perfectly. (AA working, other objects are fine etc.)
Oh, you know I would if I couldâŚ
Point is this happens with different kinds of files when working and the moment it is opened it works fine for a while again. So no repeating pattern her unfortunately, only the annoying effect of it all.
Iâll keep my mind open as I have for the last 20 years and will post something the moment a reproducing scenario pops up, but in the mean time I want you to know that @osuire isnât alone.
(By the way, the two other issues I have are Pictures becoming diagonal lines:
And blocks with meshes showing as monocrome blocks but multicolored when editing them.
These two are also appearing after a while and resets when Rhino reopens the file (or if I restart Rhino⌠I donât fully remember now, I ususally restarts Rhino as I believe it at least does no damage)
Yep, I have the diagonal line treatment too.
Itâs just that I canât keep up with all the crummy display-related stuff we are getting these days in Rhino.
Please try the SR11 release candidate that we released today. We found a repeatable case for making geometry disappear and I added a fix for this yesterday. This may be the issue that youâve been fighting with for quite a while.
