Hi Rhino community. I’m having persistent issues with my named views disappearing after successfully saving and using them throughout a work session. Sometimes it is when I re-open, sometimes they just disappear mid-session.
Perhaps there’s something I’m doing, anyone come across this issue?
cheers
Peter
Hi Peter -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Thanks -
Is this behavior something that you can reproduce at will?
I would disable V-Ray in the plug-in manager and restart Rhino. Then see if you still run into this.
-wim
Thanks for looking into this! I’m not able to reproduce this at will, although it seems to happen more frequently when I’m going back and forth between rhino6 and 7 with the same file.
I will disable the V-Ray plugin and see if it helps. Thanks
I’ve disabled the Vray plugin and I am still seeing views drop from the file unfortunately. Most noticeable after coming back to the file after a save and exit.
I am frequently exporting objects, purging, and saving out to rhino 6 from 7…not sure if these could be somehow contributing.
cheers
I am also having this problem. I am currently on the Rhino 7, free trial period.
Specifically named views disappear when opening the file, or creating new ones.
Has this been addressed elsewhere, and can I give you any more info?
These views take time to set-up, then just disappear.

Hi Matthew -
I’m afraid you’ll have to be more specific than that. Is there a workflow that will reproduce this issue every single time that you try it with a new file from a factory-default template? So far, we haven’t seen this on our systems.
-wim
hi Wim,
its so simple as Matthew said.
I fear that you and the developer team will have to take a deeper look at that issue for yourself, therefore its not the only current bug in rhino 7. honestly I dont know why you are expecting an scientific approach to record a problem from users. we are working with rhino and shit happens (besides all the fun).
I told you in a previous posting that my experiences are exactly the same. I defined some named views (one was a named view called perspective, to get back to perspective quick) and after reopening rhino the named views are gone.
thx,
Ben
edit: your last answer to my posting was “There is not much to go on in this report. I’d probably advise to stay away from using perspective as a custom named view as it is a built-in name.” which is from my point of view unsatisfying.
Hi Ben -
I’m afraid not.
I start a new file and create a new named view called “Perspective”. Save the file. Close the file. Open the file. The named view is still there.
If we can’t reproduce an issue, there is no way we can fix it.
-wim
for sure you cant reproduce it, because you dont try.
have a nice day,
Benjamin
edit: so, Wim, could you tell us exactly which information you need so we can cope with your requirements in future when reporting bugs?
I have been working in rhino 7 for some time now, and this has been a consistent issue for me as well. I will save a named view, but after working for a while or saving and re-opening the file the saved view will disappear. To Wim’s previous comments - it doesn’t seem to happen after a certain task or line of commands, you don’t even notice it has happened till you go to select your saved view only to find it has vanished. This has cost me hours of work when creating drawings that need to align perfectly.
Wim, I am afraid that you didn’t realize why this “viewport disappearance” happens. It happens during the time when you rotate the view or set a separate cplane for the view, not when you close the program. Rhino will not update the saved viewport, rather, it will stupidly delete the named view with the old cplane. The only way I found to solve this problem, is to make multiple copies of the same view so that it will only delete the latest created view. This is a solution, indeed, but it’s super inconvenience. And for people who don’t know this, which is not a common sense for regular users, they will just lose what they have.
Hello- can you please also post the output from SystemInfo in Rhino?
-Pascal
I’m also having an issue with saved views dropping and am trying to determine if my issue is the same as the others above.
I have a couple of named views set, I render with enscape. Then I come back to my rhino file the next day and the names of my saved views are still there but it seems to be referencing a totally blank space, somewhere else in the model.
