Some objects in my file render fine in r8 but are invisible in r9.
It’s almost like they aren’t being sent to the graphics card, they just aren’t there.
I haven’t toggled the visibilities of anything, I just open in different versions and render.

I have not yet made any changes to Rhino 9, not sure why it wouldn’t work.
I dunno, maybe it’s a layer thing.
I uploaded the file with your email address associated with it.
I did some light investigation, exploding the block instance has rendering go fine. I’ll ask around if anything has changed regarding block handling recently. I know that I did not make any changes. RhinoCycles should be pretty much the same between Rhino 8 and Rhino 9 at this point in time.
Logged as RH-88211 Block instance renders incorrectly
This is still happening in v9. Any news about it? :

Thanks Wim
Came here to report this too, and can verify that the moment I explode the blocks it renders fine. (Don’t have to restart Cycles, it autoupdates)
Latest build.
And some nit-picking: This thread is stating it has been solved, but I think that “Solution” mark should be disabled until this is actually solved.
I can’t repeat this problem at all in Rhino 9. Is it still happening for you guys in the latest builds?
It looks fixed now.
Doesn’t seem to be fixed for block display in Grasshopper. Latest 9 WIP
My screenshot shows 2 sets of three objects, one with blocks and one with their bounding box moved aside for display purpose. There’s also a Direct3D issue I reported in a separate topic
