Hi. I’ve imported an image that I’m trying to draw to get it into a 3D form. Sadly, it’s a really tedious image and is going to require time to complete. (Trace plugins laughed at me when I tried them, so I’m doing free hand.)
Everytime I save, I lose the image. It becomes a giant black shape.
I can Revert to get it back, but the extra step shouldn’t be needed. Been a while, but when I used Rhino 5 this wasn’t an issue.
I have seen online that you need to check the “Save Textures” button, but that is checked by default and it’s still returning the black box. Makes me think something is wrong here, but I don’t know how to troubleshoot it.
This is what I start with everytime I open the .3dm file no matter how I try sasving it.
I also noticed in some of my reallllly old files (like…created in 2010) that the images that should have been embedded in them are missing, even though back then I was using Rhino at two different schools + home, and had no issues passing a .3dm file with the image.

Sadly, that system doesn’t do you much good to be running Rhino 7 on. Our recommendation for minimum VRAM is 4 GB.
On the Rhino Options page, under View -> OpenGL, there are 3 options that you could try to change to see if that helps with the display issues that you are running into. You’d probably have the antialiasing turned off, and, possibly, the “Level” slider a tick (or 2) to the left from max. Start with 1 tick and restart Rhino to see if that helps. Another tick if it didn’t. If the “GPU Tessellation” option is checked, try unchecking. If it is checked, try checking it.

I do acknowledge that this computer is not up to spec (you can probably image how a render looks). It’s a temporary solution while my desktop is unaccesible
Is it strange that this was my default?
I’m using a Template that I original built back in Rhino 5, so it has a lot of non-default things in places. Wouldn’t be suprised if this is something that was set back then.
