Hello, when using a single clipping plane in Rhino 8 and rendered mode, I’m experiencing inconsistent lighting/shader display settings as I move the plane. the first image shows the model without clipping plane. second is with clipping plane near upper level. third image is clipping plane closer to ground level (the strange one). any suggestions why this may be happening?
Thank you
Reinhardt
Hi Reinhardt -
I’m not seeing such behavior in a quick test here.
Is this model-specific on your end? If so, please post or upload the 3dm file from Rhino Accounts.
Also, please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Hi @wim unfortunately, I cannot share the client project model. However, I did check a different file/model on my end and it happens there also.
I think i figured out the issue: I usually set any glazing/window objects to use the Ghosted display mode via SetObjectDisplayMode. I just now tested all the glazing to UseView (which is rendered) and the clipping plane works fine. It seems that when the clipping plane intersects with the glazing on Ghosted mode, that is when the issue arises. I cannot remember if this happened on Rhino7.
If still useful, below is SystemInfo:

Hi Reinhardt -
I’m still not able to reproduce this in a quick test here:
Please make sure to install updates. The current Service Release is SR11 and the candidate for SR12 that was released yesterday is now the last one before that becomes the official Service Release.
-wim
updating to SR12 seems to fix the issue!
