Red screen with WIP6 for mac

I just imported a step file into the WIP. The perspective and right view windows are working but the top and front views are a blank red screen. I think it may have something to do with the GPU but not sure.

i’ve got the same issue here as well. i thought they fixed it though.

If you (both) could please post the output of the Rhino command _SystemInfo.

WIP systeminfo.txt (2.9 KB)

Also, please attach the STEP file you are importing.

Sorry can’t release it. If it happens on something I can release I’ll send it to you.

Thanks

FWIW- if you send it via this link: https://www.rhino3d.com/upload it stays on mcneels private server, we use the file for diagnostics and then delete it. no worries about releasing it publicly we don’t do that…ever.

files like that are pretty crucial to help fix the red screen problem you are experiencing as they tend to be file specific and can be hard to replicate.

OK the file is named Seaga_RH_for _render

@marlin just sent you info via Support bee-

Sorry Kyle I’m not seeing where that is on the site.

I was just letting marlin know I sent him info internally. you won’t be able to see that stuff. I’m hoping he can use your file to debug the display issue with the step file you sent-

here is my sysinfo as well as a model that does it.Trigger.stl (538.4 KB)

sysinfo_kleerkoat.txt (141 Bytes)

your sysinfo looks broken, @kleerkoat. Can you reupload?

FWIW, the Trigger.stl looks like this on my machine

sorry about that. it opens the file fine, it’s when changing the view that it goes red.

@kleerkoat right, as I posted, changing to Rendered mode works fine. Does it matter what view you change first, and to what?

@andy, don’t you have a similar machine?

I’m seeing the same issue here - red screen when switching views. Don’t need any special file to reproduce - start a new file, insert a cube, and switch between views. It will correct itself if you switch between different views - I can’t seem to discern any rhyme or reason to when it occurs or corrects itself.

I am not certain, that this is Rhino specific.
ARCHICAD does the same when opening an OpenGL 3D viewport, almost always. I’m not sure, but I’m having this issue since 10.13.6 (or 13.5). My GPU is the AMD R9 M370X.

I’m having a hard time figuring out what “switching views” or “changing the view” means.

Here are my different guesses:

  1. Clicking in an inactive viewport to make it the active viewport.
  2. Selecting Set View > Bottom in the viewport context menu to change the viewport view.
  3. Selecting a different display mode, like Shaded or Ghosted.
  4. Or even, rotating a perspective view to change its orientation.

The red viewport could be an issue only with recent AMD Radeon GPUs. So far, all the computers with this problem have an AMD Radeon R9 GPU. Nathan cannot duplicate this with an Intel Iris Graphics 650, and I cannot duplicate this with an AMD Radeon Pro 460.

Sorry for not being clearer, I’m just clicking the view names at the top of the viewport: “Perspective”, “Top”, “Front”, “Right”

-Kevin

I’ve made a short screen recording to illustrate the problem: RhinoWIP_red_screen.mov
