Glitchy/Blocky Screen

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue with having a Blocky screen no matter what display mode I am in. I have made sure all my Drivers are up to date, but I am relatively limited in my computer knowledge (First year Uni student).

This was also exporting in the layout view as well, and the only thing I can do that works temporarily is save, close and reopen.

Thanks!

Well even if you’ve updated everything need to start with running “SystemInfo” and posting the results.

Hi Hanna -

It’s possible that your machine is configured to use the AMD Radeon card instead of the NVIDIA GeForce card when unplugged:

Apart from that, how far from the world origin is that geometry located?

Hi Wim,

Thanks for responding - It was also happening when plugged in so I have configured it to use the NVDIA card now when Rhino is open permanently. It was located very close to the world origin so I don’t think that was the issue.

Thanks for your help, if it happens again from now I will be back :slight_smile:
