Issue with viewcapturetofile Command on Rhino 8 for Mac

[Giulio4 (Giulio)]

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue with the viewcapturetofile command in Rhino 8. When I try to export a capture using a custom resolution in certain views (like front view), the resulting file is incomplete and appears to be cut off. Here are the details of my setup:

Rhino 8, 8.7.24138.15432
macOS 14.5 (MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 M2 Max)

I’ve attached screenshots of the various steps I take to execute the command, as well as the resulting file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Giulio,

Thanks for all the info.

Following your directions I was not able to repeat in 8.8.24138.01002, which is available as a Service Release Candidate in your General Settings.

Hi, I’m having similar issues on Rhino 8 for Mac (version 8.23).

The following code always returns a null bitmap:

var viewCapture = new ViewCapture() {
        DrawAxes = false,
        DrawGrid = false,
        DrawGridAxes = false,
        TransparentBackground = true,
        Width = (int)(width / scale * dpmm),
        Height = (int)(height / scale * dpmm)
      };

var bmp = viewCapture.CaptureToBitmap(view);

Any idea?
