Where's the line? invisible curve/line

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Hi, I’ve been using Rhino for years. Thank you for your service, this program is intelligent.

However, I found unfixable problem a few days ago, and I still can’t solve the problem.

I can’t see lline/polyline/curve with shaded mode.

I’ve already tried some to solve it such as…
-un-checking the ‘GPU Tessellation’
-it is the latest version of the rhino
-adjust openGL all the way to the left

but, still I can’t see any lines/curves in shaded mode.

Hi Jake -

Your GPU drivers are very old. Open the Rhino Notifications panel and follow the links to a page where you can download the latest versions. Other than that, we recommend at least 4GB of GPU VRAM.

Hi Wim, Thank you for your help.

but, about the latest versions, the program says “All packages are up to date”.

I didn’t struggle while I was using rhino 7. Is it possible If I can use rhino7 again?

Hi Jake -

Which program is that?

Yes, you can use your Rhino 8 license key to get a legacy Rhino 7 license key from this page → Rhino - Access Rhino 7
