Hello folks. My name is Justin Schumacher and I’m a school teacher. I started teaching the program Rhino this fall for the first time & I love it so far. I have experience using SolidWorks, AutoCAD and Inventor as well.
I have a student that created a file that has an issue that [so far] I have not seen yeat & do not have a solution to. The student created an object in Rhino. When he re-opened his file, the objects were located in two separate positions. One position was ‘selectable’ but only displayed as a wireframe. The second position was not able to be selected, and it was being displayed as a rendered object [the viewport was not set to rendered view]. There are a few objects with this issue. Additionally, the rendered, un-selectable objects are all located down the ‘X’ axis.
Any help that anyone can give me will help me, and renew my students faith in me!! hahaha.
It might be helpful if you can post the file. Just grasping at straws here, I wonder if the objects might be very far from the origin, in that case what looks like a “rendered” view is the objects display mesh which no longer corresponds with the object ue to single point precision mesh calculations.
Also might be worth taking a look at your graphics drivers. Make sure you have fairly new drivers. That seems to fix a lot of display issues that we run across.
This used to happen a LOT with blocks, but seems to have gotten better. The frustrating thing about it is that it was never very repeatable, so creating a good example was never easy. If meshes in one place, wires in another bug is repeatable in your file, please post or send it in.
I will see if the system admins can look at updating the drivers. I have zero access to the control panel on the school computers. Thank you for the advise.
I deleted much of the geometry so the file would be smaller and I would be able to upload it. The issue is with the ghosted images located between the ‘feet.’ Thanks
sigh That is most definitely NOT what is being displayed in my file. There are ‘ghost’ images in between the ‘feet.’ the ghost images are RENDERED objects and they are the three cylinders that are located inside the helix. I was hoping this was a common issue. It looks like it is not!
You don’t need control panel access to see what drivers Rhino is using. Post a screenshot of the Options>View>OpenGL page. If I had to guess, it is a video card/drivers issue.
Can’t say it is for sure the solution, but those drivers are quite old. I’d contact your IT dept. to try updating a machine that showed this problem with the latest certified for Windows drivers from Nvidia - looks like 340.52 from July 2014. I’d start there.
