Rendered view Box mapping Position not working

Rhino
1

Hi!

Does anyone know what could cause this error and how to solve it? If there is a box mapped object then the XYZ Position settings do not affect the mapping, while Rotation and Size do. At the same time when the object is moved the texture position changes, as if it was in WCS mapped material. You can see the effect in the video below.

This happens on a specific computer, in any file. If I open the same files on other computers it works correctly. The computer has the latest SR of Rhino 6 and video card drivers have been updated as well.

I’ve looked at all the usual suspect, WCS texture mapping, wrong mapping channel, advance texture preview setting, but none of these seem to be causing the issue.

EDIT: For clarity, I’m posting this for another person, who will join the conversation later on.

Hello - please post an example file.

Here you go:

Although this probably isn’t very helpful, because this file works correctly on other computers, so I assume this is problem with the settings of this specific computer.

Hello -

Please run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and copy/paste the results here.

That’s the SystemInfo

Hello - the first thing is to see if there is a newer driver available for the Intel graphics, from the Intel website.

Says I have the newest driver available for my Intel graphics. While trying to install an newer version, it gives an error, leading to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005469/graphics.html
unfortunately i can’t update Intel HD Graphics 5500 to the latest DCH Graphics Drivers.

Was able to install drivers from dell.com, but it didn’t solve the problem.

Hello - I guess then that the video support in this machine is not sufficient - HD-5500 it is pretty old, I guess, and may not have the open GL support needed. @John_Brock - any more-informed thoughts?

The current drivers for that old GPU are from October.

You will need these instructions to install them:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29971/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-40-

Even then, that old INTEL GPU is underpowered and unrecommended. It does not meet Rhino’s System Requirement.
If you’re serious about Rhino, it’s time for a computer that has the capabilites Rhino was designed for.
