Not Shaded

Grasshopper’s display settings are set to [Draw shaded], but Brep objects on the canvas may not be shaded in Rhino. Only the brep edges are visible.
I work around this issue by restarting Rhino.
But this is a thorny issue. I run into this issue on some PCs.
Do you have any cause and solution?

Yes, it tells us what version of Rhino you are using, and what non-Rhino plug-ins are in use.

I have breps shading just fine over here.

I would start by disabling all plug-ins that do not ship with Rhino and see if that helps. If it does you can turn back on plug-ins one by one and see when the issue begins to appear.

If disabling plug-ins does not help we will need a set of steps that will definitely reproduce this so we can investigate what is going on and find a fix for the problem.
