Hello All, ▶ System Info I find the command “'_ViewCaptureToFile” is utterly useless for V8, this can be amplified by adding 2x or 3x resolution scaling to the capture settings, examples below are between viewport screencaps and '_ViewCaptureToFile exports. Note: I have the model placed at World’s …

I would prefer it to be independent from the viewports. Have it create the desired view without actually displaying it. Like I mentioned in the linked post. Though I guess this might be a pretty big change to how it works internally.

To isolate the issues I’m seeing, The First issue is related to Print Width of the objects. It seems that the ViewCaptureToFile, unexpectedly thickens the lines in proportion to their print width, this behavior is not expected especially when I have the print preview off, and even when it is turned…

The Second Issue Shadows in certain viewports, are completely ignored when the viewport is captured with x2 or x3 scale, likely this is caused by a memory limit or something: Tested on Default Monochrome settings. [image] [image]

and this time, it crashed Rhino: [image]

Third Issue There is a sort of “Bucketing” that happens occasionally. I mostly encountered that with grasshopper objects. A related post can be found here: Rhino BETA - View Capture issue with grasshopper objects - Serengeti (Rhino 8 BETA) - McNeel Forum [image] [image]

Here is one scenario that combines all the results above. [image] Expected Results [ViewCapture20230925_195629] ViewCaptureToFile 3x output I’m attaching the file alongside the display model Pender.ini (14.1 KB) Test.3dm (711.7 KB)

[image] tay.0: There is a sort of “Bucketing” that happens occasionally. Have the same problem with bucketing/tiling while using ViewCaptureToFile with a resolution 3x higher than screen resolution, reported here: Tiling bug using ViewCaptureToFile with parallel lines shading - #2 by lembersk…

Can confirm Rhino 8 beta “out of memory” crashes (exactly the same message as your screenshot) while trying to use ViewCaptureToFile. [image] tay.0: and this time, it crashed Rhino:

Yes, here is it on a video: and here is the crash report txt [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core.Raw.ICoreWebView2Controller'. This operation failed because …

this is unfortunate that I didn’t see your thread over there, maybe I didn’t use the right pormpts in my search to get the relevant topic which was yours. I notice this issue happening frequently and my concern that these undesirable behaviors are lingering in V8 while working completely fine in V7…
