I mean what does “unsupported” imply? Completely non-functional or works mostly with a few issues or something in between? I’ve looked at the known issues, but as I’m not a current user of Rhino I can’t tell how much of a deal-breaker they are. The context is that my daughter’s current Mac is dyin…

Hi - [image] ithinkiam: There’s talk of crashes and being “NOT SUPPORTED”, but how bad is it really? At this point in time, it crashes when using a non-wireframe viewport. I understand that you don’t use Rhino, so, simply said, at this point it always crashes. We are trying to work around t…

Thanks. yes, I’ve seen those, but they don’t say what the experience of running Rhino via Rosetta is actually like. There’s talk of crashes and being “NOT SUPPORTED”, but how bad is it really? That’s why I’d like to know from people who’ve tried it.

[image] Helvetosaur: No, they will not likely get fixed ‘in the next few months’ - if at all for Rhino V7. That’s not what they’ve said . Rosetta doesn’t work with Rhino, yet. Many of the issues are OpenGL related, and may be OpenGL driver issues. We will file driver issues with Apple as we …

Many thanks for the reply, @wim ! That’s exactly the type of answer I was looking for. Now we can make a decision. Good luck to the team on the development. p.s. where can we get the Rhino 8 WIP to experiment?

[image] wim: Metal-based display engine instead of OpenGL on Macs. my chin just dropped to the floor, drooling out a few pints. are there any “preliminary” hardware requirements you have set?

[image] encephalon: are there any “preliminary” hardware requirements you have set? You need a machine that is capable of running macOS Catalina or newer - Rhino 8 won’t run on previous OS’s. Going to :apple: > About This Mac > System Report… > Hardware > Graphics/Displays > GPU … there sho…
