In Rhino 7, under the Properties panel/tab, there are several sub-tabs, such as Object, material, texture mapping, decal, thickening, etc; however, that thickening tab has disappeared, along with a few other tabs, I have attempted to get it back by changing the settings to default and even reinstalling Rhino, but my thickening tab is still not there, any thoughts?
Hi Justus -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.
Apart from that, what type of object do you have selected when you go to the Properties panel?
-wim
Hi Wim, thank you for your reply.

I just selected a simple surface, I mostly need the thickening tab show up again so I dont need to offset/extrude them to be polysurfaces unneccessarily
Hi Justus - Do these show up if Rhino Render is the current renderer? If not, please look in OPtions > Plugins page and make sure these plug-ins are present and enabled:
-Pascal
hi Pascal, the current render is indeed Rhino Render, and those two items are both checked in Options
and for visual reference
this is what my properties panel looks like in Rhino 7
this is what it looks like in rhino 8, where the thickening tab is present, along with a few additional tabs
Hi Justus - I would block - uncheck Enable - the Vray plug-in in Options > Plug-ins page, then close and re-open Rhino - any better?
-Pascal
unfortunately, disabling Vray plug-in still wouldnt doesnt seem to do the trick
