Rhino 9 WIP has an updated the Emap dialog, matching it with other panels (controls at the top) The Emaps are now shown as images instead of text in a dropdown. There are max. 20 Emaps possible in the dialog (this hasn’t changed). If you keep adding new ones, the oldest are pushed off the list. Y…

Great changes. I like the ability to directly click on a new environment map, plus, the visual information is right there. P.S. In another topic we had a discussion about adding similar icons to the “Zebra” analysis tool, which could represent the custom settings for different zebra styles saved by…

Perhaps the future version will allow to open (reset to) the default environment maps in some way, without affecting the rest portion of the program.

@Rhino_Bulgaria @davidcockey the next build will allow you to restore the default emaps, without deleting any others you might have loaded, with the following restriction: max. amount is 20 the defaults (12) will overwrite emaps that would exceed the max. amount. So if you had loaded more than 8 c…

This sounds pretty “overworked developer” oriented rather than “Rhino User”. I would think that the restore system would recognize when the dialog will become maxed out and would ask the user which custom emaps he wants to replace.

I can also prevent you from loading more than 8 custom ones. Currently loading more than 8 starts overwriting older ones. I don’t like (as a user) to have to answer questions, so want to keep this to a minimum. Another option is removing the max 20 restriction. But I wonder, how many custom ones ha…

I’m perfectly fine with the ability to load up to 20 custom environment maps, and keeping the last 8 of them in case that the default 12 one are being restored.

[image] davidcockey: Any method to recover the “default” modes which are present when Rhino is installed? Then there’s the question “Why would anyone want to do that?” ie: When adding custom emaps with “the oldest pushed off the list” it is easy to understand why a user might find himself nee…
