Hi, I’ve been bugged by a visual glitch in shaded view just recently whereby rotated blocks show differently in the shaded viewport.
Here’s a clip of a clean file where I’ve created a row of boxes.
I make one of those boxes a block and array it. It can be seen at that point that the two rows are identical.
However, I then create a copy of the block and rotate it 180 degrees with the gumball.
It is immediately apparent that the block is visually different, and the effect persists when I array it.
It would appear the problem relates somehow to the gradient that creates the illusion of shading based on angle to the camera, for whatever reason it is inverted or has its centre offset or something, really not sure. I’ve not noticed it before so I’m guessing its an R8 thing.
Any comments appreciated. It’s distracting when I have an array of, say, windows on a facade, and on one wall they show differently, I’m also quite visual and use my layer colours a lot to comprehend what’s going on.

I’m guessing this is just me? this isn’t behaviour you see on your machine?
