Sr9 Screen redraw problem not drawing closed curves as closed

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Hi,
In the lastest sr Version 7 SR9 (7.9.21222.15001, 2021-08-10)
I am now getting incomplete drawing of closed curve linework in the viewport. Doesn’t matter if I’m in wireframe or shaded or a custom view mode. Closed curves are not completely drawn until I zoom in and some are drawn closed while others are not. This can play havoc when you need closed curves and zoom out and you see random ones are not closed. I know these are all closed curves as I ran the selclosed curves command on them and when I zoom in they close up and redraw properly. This wasn’t happening in the last sr.

Hi @3dsynergy
Start by updating your graphics cards drivers - 3 and 1 year old. If problem persists, try disabling the non-native plugins like twinmotion. But the drivers are a good place to start, I think.

Hi @Normand,
Sorry I didn’t get back to you. You’re right, I just have been so busy and I can’t break anything until I get most of these jobs underway then I’ll update my drivers. I don’t think this is a plugin problem it looks like open GL is not sampling fine enough when the user zooms out or perhaps my monitor is not fine enough to catch those pixels.

Hello - the first thing to try is to disable these plug-ins in Options > Plug-ins page, and the close and restart Rhino and see if there is any change. Your Nvidia driver could use an update as well.

Do you know that this is new to SR9? I can’t recall any code changes to curve draw ing in recent service releases.

Hi @stevebaer,
I didn’t notice it before. The reason I saw it was because someone sent me a revised file that they reworked in ai and dwg format. I imported the dwg to find many flaws and closed those crvs/flaws. Then used selclosed crvs. Only to notice that in the viewport the curves looked open as you can see in the screen shot. It’s kind of disconcerting because we rely on our eyes/visual clues to model and when I see an open curve when it should be closed is a bit of work flow problem.
If you want I can send you this dwg file. I’m still seeing it in sr10.

Thanks Pascal,
I try that when I get a bit of time.
