Question UV editor

Hi, when I export an image of the layout to use in photoshop it always exports the grid.
How can I export without the grid.
Even if I disable the grid in UV editor it still exports with the grid.

Thanks.

@Edwin_Akers

You mean you are using “ViewCaptureToFile” to export the current view?
There should be an option to switch off grid.

No. Save to bitmap through the UV editor.

Here is a picture.


Hi @Edwin_Akers ,

In the Display panel, when the UVeditor has focus, disable Grid display…

Ah, must click the background in the UV editor to make it the current viewport.
Thanks that helps.

Thanks Brian.

Ok, still having some problems.
tex-1 is transparency set to 0 and grid not there when I save to bitmap through the UV editor.
tex-2 is what I get when I run ScreenCapturetoclipboard from the command prompt not
1024X1024 size but no grid.
tex-3 is transparency set to 100 and grid is there when I save to bitmap through the UV editor.
White background.
Thanks

Hi @Edwin_Akers ,

Can you explain more about your new problem? I’m not certain which of the results you don’t want or what you expected. Essentially, what is the new problem you’re trying to solve?

Basically tex-3 picture has the grid visible when I save to bitmap through the UV editor
and the display panel is set to UV editor with the grid ticked off. Do not want the grid to show.

@Edwin_Akers Thanks for explaining more, I think I missed this when making my own file to test yesterday with a grid texture as the lines were faint. I’ve filed this bug as https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-85274

In the meantime, you’ll have to use a screen capture I think to get around it.

Thank you.

RH-85274 is fixed in Rhino 8 Service Release 17

Thanks, are you sure, here are two “export to bitmap through the UV editor” one is set to transparency 0 and one set to 100
there should not be the grid visible.
Display,the current viewport and the UVeditor all have the grid off.

My mistake, I did not download the latest version.

Ok, I did download the latest version and the same result.
The grid should not be visible.

Thanks, Buddy Akers

Hi Buddy,

I’m a bit confused reading your replies. From your perspective is the bug fixed or not?

No, the problem still exists.The grid should not show in any of the pictures I sent.
Transparency is set to 0 in one pic and 100 in the other,both were “export to bitmap through the UVEditor”
Thanks, Buddy.

Hi @Edwin_Akers

Please, upload the outputs of the _SystemInfo command in Rhino.

OK.

You have version 8.16.25042.13001. That’s the latest Rhino 8 service release.
The bug is fixed in an 8.17… service release candidate. You can wait until it gets released as a service release in about 2 weeks. Or if you want to get to it faster you can switch your Rhino 8 to offer updating to service release candidates from Help - Check for Updates… - Update frequency.
