Worksession in V9 Beta is changing the Object Display Modes of objects in attached files.
Worksession in V8 does not change the Object Display Modes. That is the expected behavior.
The display mode for objects can be set to be other “By View” (the viewport display mode).
In V8 when a file with objects with display mode set to other than “By View”, for example to “Rendered”, and the file is attached in a Worksession, the objects maintain that display mode.
In Rhino 9 Beta when a a file with objects with display mode set to other than “By View”,and the file is attached in a Worksession, object display modes are changed to “By View”.
Example:
WSObjectDMDC01.rws (2.0 KB)
ObjectDisplayModeDC01.3dm (704.8 KB)
MeshPhotoTexturedA.3dm (3.3 MB)
Mesh with photo texture.
Display mode for the object is set to “Rendered”
When the file is opened this mesh always displays in Rendered mode, independent of the viewport display mode. This is the expected behavior.
Worksession.
Active file has two objects.
The red sphere is display mode set to “By View”.
The rectangular block is set to “Rendered”
Both objects display as expected. Red sphere diplay mode is same as the view. Block is always Rendered.
Attach the file with textured mesh which has object display mode set to “Rendered”/
The display mode for the mesh object has been switched to “By View”.
Shaded:
Rendered:
Make the file the photo-textured mesh the active file.
The photo-textured mesh continues to have “By View” object display mode.
The rectangular block display mode has been switch to “By View”.
