Hey,
my rhino shows a black screen. I’ve tried several times to download and update my laptop to the latest version.

Can someone help?

4

Are you able to update your mac to Ventura? Sometimes updating to the latest MacOS helps.

In the Settings for Rhino, go to OpenGL and make sure GPU Tessellation is unchecked.

5

did both, but nothing has changed

6

I haven’t seen this before. Are the viewports always black, even with an empty model?

7

@stevebaer
Intel Iris 6100 gpu?

8

I saw that. It may not be the best GPU in a Mac, but it should at least show something more than completely black.

9

Before i made the update, it Always showed this screen

This is the windows version but it looked the same on my Mac

11

Hi Sina -

Which update is that?
-wim

12

macOS Monterey 12.6

13

So this started when you updated macOS Monterey to the latest service release? Are you able to update this Mac to Ventura or is that not possible on your model?

14

i tryed but it dosent work. i only can update monterey

15

Can you help me understand exactly when this started?

16

Every time I imported an image, it was only shown a white area. I tried to solve the problem so i checked all my settings with the Rhino forum, but it didn’t get any better. Then I saw that my laptop needed an update and thought maybe that would help. After that, my Rhino just opened with a black screen and I couldn’t use it at all.

17

Try resetting your preferences. This may help.
