Quality dropdown menu in Rhino Render

Hello,

The Quality drop-down menu in Rhino Render seems to be stuck on: “Draft quality”. Is this a known problem ?

Thank you,

Andy

Hello Wim,

The Quality drop-down menu in Rhino Render is now working. I had turned off the computer and now it is working.

Thank you,

Hello wim,

The Quality drop-down menu in Rhino Render is again stuck on “Draft quality”. Now even rebooting does not solve it. Any suggestions please as to what I might do ?
Thank you,
Andy

Hello wim,

The Quality drop-down menu in Rhino Render Is now working again. So it appears this is an intermittent problem.
Thank you,
Andy

Thanks for the heads-up! Please try to find a pattern in what is making this problem occur. If we can recreate the problem at will, we can fix it.

Hello wim,

Ok will do.

Thank you,

Andy

Hello Wim,

A work around for this is that if I go to options > Render I can change the Quality drop-down menu their and then this change gets reflected in the render tab in the program.

That is all I have noticed.

Thank you,

Andy

Hi Andy,
So, you were seeing the stuck quality in the Rendering panel? I had only tested in the Document Properties > Render dialog so far.

Testing now in the panel, I still cannot reproduce this setting being stuck, but I suppose you cannot either. Good to know that there is a work-around but I hope you can still keep an eye open on when it gets stuck. I take it, for example, that you have Rhino Render set to Current Renderer at all times?

cheers,

Hello Wim,

ok. Actually Sometimes I use Rhino Render Next. It seems to use both the GPU and CPU for a more balanced workload.

Thank you,

Andy

Does it look like that changing it to (or from) Rhino Render Next is involved in the quality dropdown gettting stuck?

Hello Wim,
No I do not think so.
Thank you,
Andy
