I n ghosted mode or shaded with opacity reduced to about 100: Is it on purpose that a closed polysurface looks slightly different than an open surface? [image] Only in ghosted mode I see some weird dark gray or orange overlay of multiple objects even though just one object is selected. Something …

Hi Martin - [image] Martin Siegrist: Is it on purpose that a closed polysurface looks slightly different than an open surface? I’m seeing the same in Rhino 5, 6, and 7. That makes it look to be on purpose to me, yes. [image] Martin Siegrist: Only in ghosted mode I see some weird dark gr…

[image] Wim Dekeyser: I’m not sure what I need to do to reproduce this here. Thanks Wim. [image] Here’s a Rhino file with two boxes. I created the smaller one first and then the larger one. In ghosted mode, selecting the larger box highlights both boxes. two_boxes.3dm (44.8 KB)

I’ve noticed gaps of the render mesh to be tighter for one of being closed than one that is open. Due to these observations, yes the render meshes of srf’s that are …

[image] Wim Dekeyser: I’m seeing the same in Rhino 5, 6, and 7. That makes it look to be on purpose to me, yes. I don’t see the logic in this opacity… [image] Closed extrusion and polysurface look identical. Open extrusion looks like an open polysurface. The render mesh of a closed cube h…

[image] Martin Siegrist: The render mesh of a closed cube has 24 vertices, open extrusion render mesh has 16 vertices. Maybe somem to do with the grid quad setting. I noticed “extrusions” do have less ‘isocurves’. I always thought it was weird. I think I turned off ‘extrusions’ a couple da…
