Running latest release of 8. I have Surface Edges set to 1 in both wireframe and shaded mode. When I’m in a command and it’s time to start selecting items such as surfaces, the surface and solid edges switch to 2 or even 3, then stay like that until I’ve canceled out of the command and then move the camera. Then it goes back to 1.
Any suggestions on this? Not a huge deal overall but little annoying.
Hi Evan -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the output here.

Any thoughts on this? I’m knee deep in a pretty complicated kayak model and it’s getting kind of annoying. Thank you in advance!
Bump. Can someone please help with this? It’s really hurting my workflow because when the edges change to super bold while in the middle of a command, it’s extremely difficult to select things.
Hi Evan,
Can you upload a simple model that exhibits this behaviour? It is much easier to explore a problem than to attempt an accurate guess at the root cause.
Regards
Jeremy
Hi Jeremy, thanks for looking into this. So it seems to happen with any of my files, in wireframe and in shaded mode. As you can see in video, everything starts out fine with the polysurface edges showing up as ‘1’ thickness. As soon as I select a command, in this case DupEdge, the thickness bumps up to 2 or 3. It only reverts back after I cancel out the command and readjust the camera.
Hi Evan,
Unfortunately, without a model from you exhibiting the behaviour (as requested), there is little chance of anyone being able to spot the cause. A video shows us the problem and may clarify your explanation but gives us nothing to investigate.
With a model we can at least say whether we see the same problem, in which case it is probably a Rhino issue, or we don’t, in which case it is probably something to do with your setup.
Regards
Jeremy
Hi Evan -
If I’m reading this correctly, you have 3 monitors hooked up to your desktop?
Which monitor are you using for Rhino - assuming you don’t have viewports on all 3 screens?
At which resolution are you running that device and what is the recommended resolution?

Really appreciate you taking a look at it! Here is just one sample file.
Interesting. So I’m using my main display, a 42" 4K dell ultrasharp, set to 3840 x 2160 (recommended) and 150%. The next monitor is a 32" version of the 4K ultrasharp set to same resolution. Rhino exhibits the same issue on both screens.
Thanks for the file. I don’t see your issue on my system so I suspect the issue is specific to your setup.
I take it you see the same in all viewports?
I have the same settings (for use on a 32" 4K monitor), except for the Surface Edge Scale which I have set to 2.00 - on my system that is the default value.
Changing it to 1 doesn’t make your problem appear on my system.
