Hi @stevebaer, @jeff,
i have a pointcloud with normals which displays shaded fine in V5, but in V6 (6.14.19118.15561, 28.04.2019) i get no shading in Shaded display mode. The driver vor Radeon HD7970 is not too old:
Vendor Name: ATI Technologies Inc.
Render version: 4.6
Shading Language: 4.60
Driver Date: 3-26-2019
Driver Version: 25.20.15031.1000
I have shade vertex colors enabled in my Shaded display mode, same settings as in V5:
Is there something broken ?

That would be my first guesstimate…
Just so that we’re looking at the same thing…please post a pointcloud you’re working with and I’ll take a look.
Thanks,

Hi @jeff,
below is a spherical cloud which displays the normals fine in V5 but not V6. I have checked all possible “Color & Material usage” settings but unfortunately this fails in V6.

Thanks.
Yep…this looks busted… TestPointCloudStyle seems to see the normals, so they’re obviously there…My guess is that when I worked on the styles code, I busted the standard mode …doh!
Sorry… I’ll dig into this more in a bit and see what’s busted and why.

Thanks @jeff,
i am glad you where able to reproduce this. Meanwhile i found a few more issues, compared to V5:
When i navigate in the viewport, V6 seems to hide some of the point cloud points and shows the full cloud again when navigation stops. Is there a way to disable that ? (I would prefer to see the full cloud always, even if my frame rate drops a bit).
btw. when the normals are working again, could you please check that they still show properly when “Shade highlight selected” is enabled. I remember in V5, this never worked properly causing that the shading was shown only halfway and the rest of the cloud was shown in black…

Hi @jeff,
i know it’s been a while since this topic has been created but the issue is still present in Rhino 7 and 8. Would it be possible that PointClouds in Rhino 8 display their normals if they have them ?
thanks,
