displays well here, will you open rhino and run the systeminfo command, then post the results?

John_Brock · February 17, 2022, 11:22pm

No display problems here on my older medium resource system either.
If you do a ZEA (Zoom Extents All viewports), does that sort the display?

greg.burgreen · February 18, 2022, 2:35pm

John, I was trying to replicate the display issue this morning, and all looks great now. I am glad that I snapped a photo of the previous issue to prove I am not delusional. If the issue reoccurs, I will add to this post. It appears to have been a unique combination of system state that has now changed???

John_Brock · February 18, 2022, 2:44pm

No one ever thought you were delusional.
Apple does a pretty poor job of keeping their display drivers tuned up.
I suspect you will see this again.
Rhino is the symptom, not the likely cause.
Hopefully you’ll figure out a specific command pattern that is likely to cause the issue. With those details, maybe we can write a work-around.

Thanks

theoutside · February 18, 2022, 4:16pm

Hey Greg fwiw you are on OSX Catalina 10.15.4

our system requirements are for the 10.15.7 build of Catalina. May be worth grabbing that small update and see if rhino doesn’t settle down.

greg.burgreen · June 7, 2023, 7:37pm

I upgraded my OSX to 10.15.7, and Rhino graphics was great up until a few minutes ago.

Porcupine needles suddenly started appearing in all files after I read in a new SLDPRT file.

Any suggestions, friends?

Helvetosaur · June 7, 2023, 7:48pm

Can you run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy paste the results here?

greg.burgreen · June 7, 2023, 7:53pm

That info was pasted in a previous post in this thread.

A machine reboot has cleared the issue (…for now).

Thanks

theoutside · June 7, 2023, 8:59pm

Hey Greg, pulling a thread here…

any chance you ran SelBad to see if the imported model itself has bad geometry?

SW has some notorious habits for creating bad surfaces, especially when you data transfer to a surfacing package like rhino or alias.

greg.burgreen · June 7, 2023, 9:21pm

I didn’t, Kyle. I didn’t even know that command existed.

I did save the porcupine geometry as a .3dm, and it imported fine after the reboot.

BTW, I have watched several of your excellent tutorials. You helped me tremendously with the new SubD functionality.

stevebaer · June 7, 2023, 9:31pm

Go to OpenGL settings in Rhino and turn off GPU Tessellation.

greg.burgreen · June 7, 2023, 10:04pm

Thanks, Steve. I will try that if the issue later reappears.

greg.burgreen · June 7, 2023, 10:05pm

Actually, the GPU Tessellation was already off.

stevebaer · June 7, 2023, 10:12pm

Is there any chance you can update to a more modern version of macOS? 10.5 is pretty old

greg.burgreen · June 7, 2023, 10:34pm

I’ve got the model with the last Intel chip before the move to the M1. So, I am kind of screwed OS-wise (I think).

John_Brock · June 7, 2023, 10:37pm

Not really.
You’re on 10.15.4

Here’s the list from System Requirements:

I’m running the same system:
2019 MBP 16,1 with the AMD 5500M
macOS Ventura 13.4

It’s a FAR BETTER system for Rhino 7 than the Silicon Macs.
