Rhino PDF Raster Export Fails to Print anything

Rhino Rhino for Windows

I’m trying to get some shadow data to create some floor plans. I need a high resolution raster file of the image shown here. When I go to print this in Rhino (ctrl+p). The system completes the print but then leaves a blank pdf. I have switched computers, gpus as such. Is there another way I can get high quality raster images to print reliabilty?

Here is my file:

What is your resolution and print size?

What viewport display mode are you outputting? Can you post a screenshot of your settings?

I would like to also mention that I was able to do this until a recent rhino 8 update some time in the last couple months.

I switched back to Rhino 7 and used that system, I was able to export the image perfectly with all my settings.

I could be wrong, but there must be some sort of bug with Rhino 8 that stops me from using the program in a certain way.

1000dpi on 11x17 is pretty large, 300 dpi is considered photo quality
