Troubleshooting Display

Many display problems can be solved by updating your video drivers. It is generally a good idea to keep drivers up to date as they can be updated quite often by the manufacturers.

Please see the description of the issue you are experiencing:

Display performance: Image rotation, zooming or panning is very slow even with a good graphics card.

Was Windows 10 recently installed? By default Windows 10 does not update drivers. Please update your video drivers to solve any Windows 10 issues.

Laptop in a Docking station? Set the laptop display as the “Main Display” using Windows Display Settings.

Performance: Rotating the view or selecting objects is slow.

Commands fail: Pictures or decals don’t show up or the image seen is distorted.

Looks funny: There are strange artifacts on my screen.

No shadows in Rendered Display Mode: Comparing what I see on my computer to a previous computer or video, no shadows.

Crash: Rhino crashes and blames my video card.

Viewports strange order: Top viewport is the Front, and Front is Front…

Rhino toolbars and text are too small on a high resolution screen.

Rhinoceros is slow on a workstation with multiple monitors plugged into a USB hub.
