Rhino7
Rhino8
You can see Rhino8 occludes more and it’s been a recurring problem for me. I’ve looked through all the graphic settings but I’m clueless how to enable Rh7’s behaviour. I need to see the black edge under the green surface, use it for sub-object selection, etc.
Is there any setting for this I am unaware of?
Also you can see anti-aliasing is better on this computer in Rh7, but I see there is a lot of discussion for that separately already.
I don’t see that here:
Do you get the same with this?
ghosted.3dm (174.1 KB)
Did you modify any display settings? If so, do you get the same with a reset Ghosted mode?
Pls run _SystemInfo and post back the results.
Appreciate your assistance.
Interestingly I cannot reproduce the problem with your file. It works as in your screenshot there.
The only setting I changed in the ghosted view mode is transparency:
But I did some experiments and I believe it has to do with blocks.
If I turn the black base polysrf in your file into a block, or explode it back and forth, this happens in ghosted view:
In my scenario, the objects are both nested blocks with several nesting layers.

that’s quite an old SR already. Pls try in the latest SR
Can you reproduce the problem with the newest SR?
well the bug was fixed in 8.7:
RH-80621 Display: Nesting blocks affects edge and isocurve visibility
Okay thanks, then I have a decent argument to come to IT with. There are 50-70 workstations with commercially licensed Rhinos here. The company don’t want to have to update more than twice a year.
