Rhino 6 After Update: Display Mode Problems

ryankai.cheng · February 5, 2019, 7:09pm

This problem seems to arise when installing the update to Rhino 6. If I uninstall and reinstall Rhino 6 and select to not update, it seems to fix the display problem.

The wireframe and raytraced display modes are the only ones that seem to be unaffected. Shaded and ghosted views show whatever surface geometry to be extremely skewed and scaled up. The shapes also don’t move when moving around the viewport, but the shading seems to change dynamically when moving around.

Here are some images of what I mean, and the OpenGL information:

NVIDIA Corporation
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q Design/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 389.34
Render version: 4.6
Shading Language: 4.60 NVIDIA
Driver Date: 5-17-2018
Driver Version: 23.21.13.8934

Maximum Texture size: 32768 x 32768
Z-Buffer depth: 24bits
Stencil depth: 8bits
Maximum Viewport size: 32768 x 32768
Total Video Memory: 4 GB

Thanks,

Ryan

Does it work any better if you disable (load-protect) the V-Ray plug-in, then restart Rhino?

I’m not sure exactly what you mean, but disabling Vray and restarting Rhino doesn’t change anything.

Hi Ryan - can you please run SystemInfo in Rhino and post the results?

Also having a similar issue.

Seems to occur when I copy from one file to another file. Started happening last month. GPU Tessellation is unchecked in OpenGL settings. My IT can’t seem to determine what’s going on. Here is my SystemInfo:

Hello - are the objects far from the world origin?

-Pascal

dorler · February 6, 2019, 6:19pm

Yes, they’re aligned with our Civil Engineer’s drawings. We’ve relocated our cplane origin to that location for coordination efforts. We’ve been working in this manner with out issue for over two years, in Rhino 5 and 6.

pascal · February 6, 2019, 6:22pm

Hello - see if changing the check box on Options > View > openGL page > ‘GPU Tessellation’ does anything.

-Pascal

dorler · February 6, 2019, 6:28pm

Unfortunately, it does not seem to have any positive effect. Checking the box makes it worse/same, leaving it unchecked has similar results.

-Also, thank you for the quick responses!

pascal · February 6, 2019, 6:30pm

Hello - I see you are on SR10 - I’d at least try the most current SR, which is 12 -

Let me forward this information to my IT Dept. and get them to install! I’ll check back in once we give this a go!

I’ve posted my SystemInfo above

pascal · February 6, 2019, 6:45pm

Hello - all I can think of off hand is to force the machine to always use the Nvidia card - that’s a ‘high performance’ setting, I believe, in the NVidia control panel.

-Pascal

ryankai.cheng · February 6, 2019, 8:41pm

Hi Pascal, the default graphics processor to run Rhino is already High Performance NVidea processor.

pascal · February 6, 2019, 8:58pm

Hi Ryan - just as a test, can you try setting that ‘high-performance’ for the machine as a whole, assuming that is possible?

-Pascal

ryankai.cheng · February 6, 2019, 11:43pm

Hi Pascal, I’ve managed to fix my issue! I just updated my NVidia graphics driver and it solved it.

Thank you for your help!
