I am rendering a building.. The section through is always black ! is there anyway to make it non black ?
In rendered view i see this (which is what I want) with the fill determined by the clipping section properties.
However when I use ‘render’ (the button) and generate a render I get a black outline
Is there anything I can do to resolve this ?
With Rhino Render the insides are black because there is no light inside them, not even after clipping as clipping is only a visual change, not an actual geometric change. It doesn’t look like clipping fill surfaces are being pushed to the renderer yet - those would cover the black areas and shade as regular surfaces.
Thanks, makes sense. there used to be an option to ‘cap’ sectional cuts I think (it’s mentioned on a previous post I found somewhere where they flagged the same issue I am ) and I suppose I was just hoping there may be a tick box option somewhere - in the end I just did a sacrificial Boolean cut on a duplicated version of the same building and used that for the visual/render
Hi Bill -
That is still an option in the display modes. The display mode settings have no bearing for the Render command, though.
You’ll need to stick to that workaround for the foreseeable future, I’m afraid.
FWIW, I’ve added this thread to RH-74817 Render doesn’t respect clipping plane

Thank you Wim, very much appreciated.
