In the Rhino BETA , we’ve added a new display mode: Concept. Designed for architectural and design presentation workflows. [Concept-Display] [concept-display-id] What is this Feature? Concept is a new native display mode tailored for architects and designers who want to present their 3D models w…

[image] Grasshopper content (right) looks a bit pale compared to baked (left)

@martinsiegrist - Is this the GH preview vs the baked geometry? Did you apply a material? If you could share the GH file, I can check on my end.

@Rhino_Bulgaria - FYI the developers are looking into the crashes and long freezes btw :wink: ( RH-96729 Concept display mode: long uncancellable freeze (Esc ignored) and occasional crash when applying it to older files).

Found the option! [Cattura] Anyway, I don’t know if the others have noticed it too, but there is this selection bug. As you can see, when I select a surface, sometimes the others are selected as well, turning all the surfaces yellow. There is also this strange behavior: if I enable the con…

Hi @Czaja - I see what you’re aiming for here and I agree that it would be very useful. Concept Display mode is a Technical Mode. Hidden Lines are an attribute of Technical Modes.
