Hi Antoine -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste its output here.

Is this also happening in a new file with just a box and a clipping plane? If not, please also attach the 3dm file that you are having issues with.

Yes it does the same with a cube in a new file. I guess my clipping plane setting are off but i can not point out the issue

HI Antoine -

What happens when you switch to Direct3D in Rhino Options -> View -> GPU.
Does that make a difference?
