Ghost Lines in Rhino 6

Hi all,

I’m having trouble with “ghost lines” appearing on my rhino 6. I have the latest update hoping it would disappear but no. Just like in the image. This lines don’t actually exist, they appear out of nowhere and even disapear with other lines on the model! Can anyone help me with that???

Here are my specs:
MacBookPro9,2
Intel® Core™ i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz
RAM 16 GB
Intel® HD Graphics 4000 (1GB)

Hello - do these lines always converge on the same 3d location or?
Can you please run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy/paste the results here?

Hi Pascal,
Thanks for replying.

It seems it’s a bug between lines and surfaces (the lines always appear to be connecting those 2 elements, but not necessarily converging from anyone. The more lines and surfaces/solids on the screen, the bigger the mess. These ghost lines change depending on the camera movement, and they appear in shaded, ghosted and wireframe mode… basically any mode with lines activated.

Hello - can you please try updating the video driver to the latest avaiable from the Intel website, and see if that sorts it out? If not, can you also try disabling ‘GPU Tessellation’ in Options > View > OpenGL page.

-Pascal

not resolved, the problem still persists…

So, newest driver and GPU Tessallation off, correct? In that case I’d turn GPU Tessellation back on, and can you also run SystemInfo again with the new driver, and copy/paste the results?

-Pascal

Hi Pascal,

I solved, kind of. Just copied some os the elements for a new file then lines dissapear.
I supose the problem comes up when I try to open and save the same file in different rhinos on different computers and different times… which was my ocasion…

Thak you for yor time.

Hello - do you still have the ugly file? If so can you post it or send to tech@mcneel.com to my attention, with a link back to this topic in your comments?
