A while back I experimented with how low in polygon detail I could go in order to export objects for VR. Unfortunately, that setting has now gotten “stuck” and every time I do commands like Zebra, I get my dumb experimental options back. How can I permanently change the default values of the vario…

V8 finally solves this! :partying_face: [image] Also, not only named presets but unified settings for zebra, render mesh and export! Fantastic UX improvement, thank you McNeel! :trophy:

IIRC, Rhino should remember the last used setting. With only one instance of Rhino open, try changing one back to how you want it by default then closing and re-opening Rhino. Did that setting stick?

It doesn’t even remember the setting from one opening of the dialog to the next during the same session! And weirdly, it’s the same on two different machines… and the common denominator might be that I import options/toolbars from the same .rui files on both of them…

Hello - that setting is per file. -Pascal

Hmm… between this, grid and tolerances, I think I wish there was a button to “apply template settings” for everything on the current file…

[image] Pascal Golay: Hello - that setting is per file. This still drives me nuts. Every file I have to change this and it’s a waste of my time every time I do! :slightly_frowning_face:

If you use Import it uses the settings of whatever template you already have open. If you Open, it tries to read some stuff from the STEP file such as units and tolerances but the mesh settings are not among them. I don’t know what it uses for that, but probably the default (jagged and faster) ones…

I think there’s been a misunderstanding perhaps, but I’m specifically talking about this popup during an export to a mesh based file format: [image] Now, the above values did seem to be stored in the particular file I opened to screenshot it, but then I opened another file and hit export, and the…

Ok, here’s a reason why these values feel random: The default values for “custom mesh” are different The default values for “adjust mesh” in zebra options are different The default values for “mesh detail” in export selected are different Why, oh why can’t you set a general mesh detail for all of…
