Unable to zoom - no objects are selected. Rhino 8 bug

[Cole_McDowell]

Hi, I am having a problem in which I have selected geometry, yet am unable to see it or use ZE or ZS to zoom onto the geometry. I am getting the following error: Unable to zoom - no objects are selected. I have seen this is some very old forums but have not found a solution. I was using version 8.13.24289.13001, uninstalled, and installed the 8.12 version below, but the issue persisted.

I also saved as Rhino7 and the issue persisted.

My camera and target values seem to be acting up as well, and I cannot reset them.

I found the following forums but was unable to find a solution.

Unable to zoom to object in layout viewport when single select

Hi, I am in a Layout Detail Viewport, selected an object by clicking on it and run -_Zoom Selected, it returns message “Unable to zoom - no objects are selected.” Window select and invert window works only immediately after -_Detail Enable. I have looked at the post from Unable to zoom - no objects are visible — Despite there being objects but this error is consistently reproducible even in new files. Rhino Version 7 SR6 (Win10) (7.6.21127.19001, 2021-05-07) Video attached for clarity. Nor…

Unable to zoom - no objects are visible — Despite there being objects

Rhino is behaving a bit erratic, as of late. My primary issue is that the ‘Zoom Extents’ command is returning an “unable to zoom - no objects are visible” response, despite there being geometry in the file for it to Zoom to. I am also noticing my Gumball is randomly setting itself to a random point within my model space that is not the center of the object. I have reset the gumball, to no avail and I have confirmed that my settings are no different than they were before the bizarre Gumball plac…

Since you are using a very recent version of Rhino 8 you might gain some benefit from updating both your 11/13/23 Intel and 6/25/24 Nvidia video drivers.

You can also try resetting the viewports by running the _4view command twice. I recall Pascal proposing this when he suspected viewport corruption had scrambled camera and target positions.

I’m having the exact same problem. The _4view helped.
