Rhino 8 keeps crashing when I use the ClippingPlane Command

My Rhino 8 keeps crashing when I use the ClippingPlane command. It never did this before, so I’m very confused. It only crashes when I click on the ClippingPlane I already created or when I click on the properties tab after clicking on the ClippingPlane. I believe my software is up to date and I restarted and cleaned up my laptop to try to fix it, but was met with no luck. Please let me know if you need my file to see what’s wrong.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Thea, Please run SystemInfo in the Rhino command line and post your results. Thanks

hi @Thea1 you should update your graphics drivers first, and then see if the problem persists.

Hi Gijs, I’m trying to update my graphics driver but an error on my computer keeps popping up. I’ll give it time and try again, will let you know. Thank you for your help!

What’s the error message?

Thea -

What is the error message that is popping up on the clipping plane click? Is it still happening?

On a new model with just a sphere does the same thing happen? Or is it only on certain models?
