Rhino Crashes everytime I try to Raytrace

Hello!

I’m currently using Rhino 6 and everytime I try to use raytrace, Rhino just crashes. Not really sure why this is happening since, it was working just fine a few days ago.

If it was working just fine a couple of days ago I’m going to guess your Windows has had an update. This sometimes messes with drivers, so I suggest to do a clean driver install for your GPU - update to the latest while you are at it.

Did that help?

Thank you for reaching out! I tried this and it still didn’t fix the issue.

You could try setting the render device through Tools > Options > Cycles to CPU.

You could also try the Rhino 8 evaluation version to see if that has working Raytraced.
