I’ve recently encountered a somewhat buggy issue with Rhino 5; occasionally objects seem to change display/render color on their own. To explain the pictures below, I had an object that was all white before trimming a portion off it. In picture 1, you can see its display mode became a dark grey. picture 2 shows extracting a single surface causes the extracted surface to jump back to its native color.
Can you please post the model, or send it to me in a private message if it is not OK here? Please send it in the ‘ok’ state, if possible, with instructions on how to make it misbehave - thanks.
I’m afraid the file cannot be reduced small enough to upload here (it’s about 9mb at its smallest). Exploding and copying into a new file and then joining seemed to solve the problem.
