Hatch issues

Hello, how’s it going? I’m experiencing some issues with hatches. On one hand, after creating a certain number of hatches, Rhino becomes slow/laggy when zooming in/out using the mouse wheel. On the other hand, gray rectangles or graphical errors start to appear, which are resolved when I click. I’ve attached some screenshots for reference.

It usually happen (from what I’ve experienced) when the pattern scale is too small. Does the issue still happen if you set all patterns to solid ?

They are all solid patterns.
The black areas you see are solid hatches, and when I click on them, the same issue occurs.

Maybe I’m thinking of something unrelated, but could it be that Rhino is limiting the graphics card’s capacity or something similar? Because when I zoom out to see more things, it slows down.

Hi Rodrigo -

That would be the other way around. It sounds like your GPU is not handling Rhino very well. Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Thanks.
You are running a cracked version of an ancient service release of Rhino 7 and probably cracked 3rd party plug-ins. What can possibly go wrong?
Apart from that, you might want to check the power settings in the NVIDIA panel.
