This doesn’t look like any problem with your GPU driver. It looks like a component in Grasshopper is not properly updating the viewport’s bounds when drawing its preview geometry. Please share this GH definition and we can try to get this tuned up.

Hello Steve,

Sorry for the late response.

Thank you for the clarification. Understood that this is likely related to a Grasshopper component not updating the viewport bounds correctly.

I have tried to uninstall all the plugins, including the VisualARQ. And it seems the issue is still.

Appreciate your support.

Hi Adi -

This is a different issue. I’ve added this sample to RH-87912 Grasshopper: Display of FFO Points

Your original video looks simple enough, but I can’t reproduce that behavior here in a quick test. If you could add the .gh file for that issue, I can take a closer look.

Hi Wim,

Thank you for the quick response.

The first issue has been resolved by reinstalling VisualARQ and Rhino 8. However, I’ve attached the Grasshopper definition containing VisualARQ components for you to check

Best regards,

Adi
