Keeping Up Appearances

My WIP turned into an impressionist artist that takes Picture Plane drawing and turns it into something that looks like on attached…
I have to open material properties and than manipulate one of the setting there, usually changing transparency percentages is sufficient so the picture plane would return to it’s normal appearances…
It’s been happening on and off since I started using WIP 6 but only recently I feel I’m loosing my cool.

Hi @AdamBBLee,

It might be useful for us to have your model so we can try to repeat what is happening.

Thanks,

– Dale

Hi Dale,

should I post it to the forum…?

Darius

Sure! When creating a posting, just click the up arrow icon within the editor window.

he he, I know how to upload files I’m just reluctant to post hours of hard work for every freeloader to have it for free… :slight_smile:
Kidding aside I’m posting striped down version with two Picture planes. Am assuming rhino saves those bitmaps within file so you can see them.

Thanks

Hi Darius - this looks correct here in the latest in-house build - can you run SystemInfo and paste the results here?

thanks,
