Why when selecting edges for planar fill are they MASSIVE yellow

Hi,
V8
I select the edge of a solid I have trimmed the end off, to use planarFill commans and as I do so get MASSIVE yellow lines denying vision of item.

V8 what is going on, why this as default ?
V5 would be thin yellow.

I am trying to use V8 for the first time on an against the clock job and its one thing after another with it !

What else is there that needs changing to get normality restored ?

Cheers

Steve

can you screen shot this page in the options?

What release (like this, from the About screen: 8.14.24325.13001, 2024-11-20)?

Steve,

Was your first image in Shaded mode? - it looks like it might be Ghosted. If so, can you upload an image of the Surfaces page under Ghosted?


Steve

any of these set to something really big?

you could try a reset and return to factory defaults, but you’d lose any custom bits and have to remake or back them up before doing so-

Hi,

Rhino8 is as it came straight out of the box.
I havent altered any settings.
Gradually tweaking it this last week or two to get it displaying as V5,.
By that I mean the background colours, grid colours etc.
Not been anywhere near the settings you show.
Yet to even duve into making it show dimensions as per V5.
V5 being 1:10 scale and Rhino8 1:1 scale…nightmare to come.
Wouldnt want to undo what I have done and lose what time I have spent, but trust me havent been anywhere near such.

Steve,

  1. Could you upload your model file?
  2. Did you create it from scratch in R8?
  3. If you create a new model in R8 with just a simple cube and delete one face, do the naked edges show the same fat lines if you select for PlanarSrf?
  4. Could you run the Systeminfo command and paste the outcome here?

Regards
Jeremy

I’d try running the reset command and revert to factory defaults.

any better? (you’ll have to redo your custom bits, but something is screwy, and we need to get back to stable ground)

@theoutside, I’ve just seen this error on my own system. Started the session with normal display, but after an hour or so’s work a selection suddenly popped up these fat edges and they won’t revert to normal, even if I close and reopen Rhino. No changes to settings made, but I was frequently resetting the perspective view to a Named View.

The problem only affects planes, not lines or solids. New planes show the same behaviour. The problem only occurs in the Perspective viewport (but I haven’t been reverting to named views in the other viewports).

A new file created after closing the problem one does not show the error. After reopening the problem file the error reoccurs. This is repeatable. So the issue is file specific.

The attached file shows the behaviour, even after being closed and reopened.

odd… looks fine here…

is this file specific, or is it now all files?

I thought it was file specific, but when I created a new file to test that, I used Wireframe mode. Changing to Shaded, the new file shows the error too, so I suspect it is all files. Error only appears in Shaded mode.

I’ve looked at the Shaded View settings and there was a bunch of blue entries there, so I ran Restore Defaults and my system is back to normal. Stupidly, I didn’t screenshot the settings before resetting them, so I can’t say what was non-standard (sorry). What I can say is that the only non-standard setting I would expect to see is Isocurves on flat surfaces. And that my display was normal at the start of the session and I didn’t go near, let alone change, any Options settings during the session.

I will continue to use Named Views heavily on this particular piece of work and given that this is the only thing about my workflow that is different from normal, maybe I’ll see the problem triggered again. If so, I’ll get back to you.

please do- thanks for the update!
