Hello,
I have been having issues for a while with moving the CPlane. I don’t know what Rhino setting must have been changed to have messed all this up. When I move the CPlane (All=Yes), my whole workflow gets messed up. The CPlane grid disappears, and I cannot move it again. See the pictures below:
How do I get back to my old setup?
Thank you.
Hello - check Options > Modeling aids and make sure Construction planes is set to Standard. Any better?
-Pascal
Hi Pascal,
It is already set to Standard construction planes.
Best,
Evan
Hi Evan - what is happening is the plane is turned edge-on to the view - that is why you don’t see the grid and why moving it fails - but I do not understand the steps that get you there - is this all in one viewport? Are you only moving the origin?
-Pascal
Hi Pascal,
This problem happens in a fresh open of Rhino 6.
If I go to either the ‘Top’ or ‘Right’ viewports and type CPlane -> All=Yes and then click to move the CPlane origin, then the axes of the CPlane will appear to flip. I am used to a local X-Y CPlane for each viewport, with the Perspective CPlane being the Top View CPlane.
Oddly enough, when I change the CPlane origin in either Perspective or Front views, it behaves as normal.
Hi Evan - can you run SystemInfo in Rhino and post the results? this is ringing a faint bell (the only kind I get these days) from an earlier service release’s problem…

Hi Evan - you are behind - current is SR 16 -
https://www.rhino3d.com/download/rhino-for-windows/6/latest
Try that and see if things look better.
-Pascal
It works now. Quite frustrating. The resolution to this question also resolves CPlane not appearing in Top or Right views this post.
Thank you.
Hi Evan - meaning, I hope, that installing the later SR sorted it out?
-Pascal
Yes.
