Lines and Dimension Text randomly disappears

Greetings.

Long time Rhino user but recently upgraded to Rhino 8 (8.28.26041.11001, 2026-02-10)

Having a hard time understanding this issue. Linework (some, not all) and dimension values suddenly and randomly disappear in detail views until closing and reopening the file. In model space lines occasionally disappear, and point clouds also disappear until either closing file or turning layers off and back on. The latter does not always fix the problem. System info below. Thank you.

Hi Brian. Let’s start troubleshooting with a clean install of your NVIDIA driver. (choose custom install then check the clean install option)
