Hello forum,
I know that obviously there has been a lot of discussion about Rhino 6 being seemingly slower than Rhino 5 for Mac. And I’m sorry in advance if I light up this annoying topic once more.
Even though for me the viewports and commands seem to be running just fine and often a lot faster in 6 than in 5, I noticed that it was mainly the UI of rhino 6 that runs a hell of a lot slower for me.
By that I mean the buttons lighting up and the drop down menus etc… It’s not that important for modelling (also because virtually every command is commonly typed), but still it makes for a super laggy experience.
If there’s already a thread about that can you redirect me to there? Has anyone noticed the same? Is there a remedy?
Here are two videos to make my point:
Here are the specs I’m running on:
