[Solution / Problem] The problem was FlatShade and a bug in my program.
Bug is that I can turn FlatShade on and off using the “text command” but only using the text format. and it will not show that its on in General settings or local viewport display mode.
And clicking it on and off under these menus don’t change it status only the text command will.
(“Preferences > Display Modes to the default settings” Did turn it off, but if turned on with text command again, it will still not show as on in local viewport display mode.)
I have don and fresh install and update of Rhino. And now the bug is gone. I can turn on and off FlatShade in text command and it is now correctly shown under local viewport display mode.
Hi Helvetosaur, thanks for the input it is FlatShade that caused it.
I don’t know if this is a bug or just me not understanding the difference!
But if i toggle FlatShare on and off using the “text” format the the check box does not changes its shoes it as off.
Well, under General settings in the right sidebar, you are setting the characteristics for the display mode. However, that can be overridden by a local viewport display mode - if you right click on the blue “Perspective” viewport title in the upper left, you will see a menu drop down, does it have “FlatShade” checked?
Looks like it… Do you see the same menu if you click on the main (title bar) View menu, or are there more items in it? BTW, what version of MacRhino is this?
OK, but doesn’t seem to explain why you are seeing a flat shaded object when the setting is not active in either the local viewport menu or the display mode general settings… maybe a bug I guess.
@Rasmus Try resetting your Shaded display mode in Preferences > Display Modes to the default settings. Does that help? What you’ve shown is indeed a flat shaded render mesh of a NURBS sphere.
