Hi All, We just purchased Rhino 7, and got an update right after using it for a week. The latest update brought a major issue that I cannot resolve. I contacted McNeel by email but I have not gotten any answer yet, so maybe someone can help me or perhaps at McNeel someone will notice these bugs an…
