No curves, edges or isocurves showing

Hi,

I just started to use rhino 8, used previous versions for a long time.
I have an issue showing curves, edges and isocurves. whatever i try; display options, everything seems okay.
the curve is there when i search with selCrv but it only starts to become visible if i extract a surface from this curve
the weirdest thing is that when I change the color of one side of the solid the edges appear out of nothing.

can someone help me how to enable the edges and curves?



Hi -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Hi -

I’d start by getting the most up-to-date drivers for that GPU. When you run the Rhino Notifications command, you’ll get a panel with links to AMD’s driver pages.

Hi
I have same problem in Rhino 8, no curves are shown, but are in a square or box with dotted lines.

System Info gives this if that gives any idea of the problem??

thanks in advance

Your problem is going to be the use of Parallels. It may work, but not fully.

Also, it isn’t supported: Rhino - System Requirements

Well Rhino 7 works perfect

Rhino 7 and Rhino 8 are not the same program…
