Weird Surface Edges Display Problem

[miruna.vecerdi]

Hi!

I’m trying to export some images from Rhino and I have noticed a weird thing happening…

In Display Settings I unticked Surface Edges but they still show in the Perspective view. (I checked for Top, Right, Front view… and they don’t show there)

I noticed they only disappear when I remove the Ground Plane…

Does anyone know why this is happening and/or how I can make the Edges go away and keep the ground plane?

Thanks folks!

Hello - try Unweld > 0 degrees, ModifyNormals=Yes on the igloo shape - does that do what you want?

hi! thanks for the quick reply!

Unweld does’t seem to work because the geometry is a Polysurface…

Yep, OK - sorry, I misconstrued what I was looking at - can you please run SystemInfo in Rhino and post the results, and can you send this file to tech@mcneel.com,. with a link back to this topic? I’ll take a look.

This is the result after SystemInfo
I’ve also sent the mail!

Thanks

Hi Miruna - thanks - I did not realize we are talking about the Rhino WIP. Here, in V6 and the V7 WIP, your ini file imports with surface edges ticked:

and it looks correct if I un-check that setting:

If you re-import the ini file and overwrite the mode you have, does it work?

exporting with the unckecked edges and reimporting seems to work works… but then it doesn’t

so I just made a box and everything was fine
but then i zoomed in and these little devils reappeared…

and after zooming in

its becoming pretty hilarious!
btw, thanks for sticking for me on this one hehe

Hi Miruna - I see the Zoom thing here as well, thanks for pointing it out . I’ll put that on the list - I don’t know if there is a useful workaround but if I find one I will let you know.

@miruna.vecerdi - So far it seems to be linked to the setting under Objects>Surfaces for ‘Naked edge usage’ If I change that to ‘Use surface edge setting’ it incorrectly toggles on surface edges, but here at least, if I then turn those off, the zoom level no longer affects the edges - I am still testing…

HI!

That was it i think!
I changed it to ‘Use surface edge setting’ exported and re-imported and now regardless of how much i zoom in or out or how rotate the edges are gone.

Thanks a lot!
Best wishes and stay healthy !
