Hi, I’m exporting Rhino PDF files from the Perspective window. I get strange straight lines appearing, which do not appear in the viewport. Also, these lines do not appear if exporting a png. This seems to happen more when the camera lens length is very short (10-20mm) Any thoughts? Thanks! Mark…

Hi Mark - so far I am not getting that here… in fact when I try to export to pdf, the view zooms out. Print works as expected though - are you using Print or Export? junk.pdf (2.1 MB) -Pascal

Hi Pascal, I’m using Print. You really need to set focal length short . I’m including two files for you to compare (focal length was set at 5mm for these) 1/ Printed as a png directly from Rhino 2/ Printed as a pdf from Rhino, then imported to Photoshop, and then exported as a png. Crazy no? …

Hi Mark - the lens length is 5 in the pdf I made - can you run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy/paste the results? This printing stuff is closely tied to openGL and the video card, and that may have an influence. I’m told. -Pascal

Hi Mark - Can you please see if disabling the plug-ins listed here [image] mlloyd360: Rhino plugins that do not ship with Rhino C:\Users\mlloy\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\7.0\Plug-ins\Fologram for Rhino (468a328b-20d9-494b-b9e1-cbe9f827d3a2)\2020.2.1.2\6\Fologram.IO.Rhino3d.Win.rhp “Folo…

Hi Pascal, I’ve just tested your suggestion, and no change I’m afraid. I went through shutting everything down and rebooting also. I’ve retested some exports to see (with a different file) - increasing the focal length sometimes removes these straight lines in the print setup window, but when open…

Hi Mark - something to try - in Options > View >OpenGL switch of GPU Tessellation and see if that does anything. BTW, do you have more than one monitor on this machine, an external one? -Pascal

Ive just tried turning off GPU tessalation - no change. Yes, I,m using an external monitor 4K monitor. I’ve just switched to my laptop dispay, disabled the external, but same result. Mark
