![]() So, when I run the script I produce these graphs: On the student computers the issue was worse in that no matter what we did the graphics, mesh, wires annotation etc did not appear.īecause I have, in the process of implementation of LBT 1.3.0 added some room/surface visualistions to enable the students to check their models prior to simulation, and because I have used the gate option to control when these visualisations are visible, I discovered that turning these on and off made all the output graphs, output text and heat loss per surface outputs from LBT visible! I could sometimes fix the issue by switching from wireframe representation in the Rhino window to Rendered view, and then back. I put this down mostly to my amateur status as a Rhino user. We could find no solution in the display commands / view controls for Rhino. In perspective view we could see slices of the grahics on the XY plane, reminiscent of what I used to experience with AutoCAD/3DS Max in terms of cutting planes associated with a view camera. What we found was that on some machines (mine at home for example) if we were zoomed back from the XY plane in Rhino all the objects - graphs, annotation and model shaded with heat loss etc were visible, but as we zoomed closer to a particular graph it disappeared. And in the process also developed the script we are using to run with version 1.3.0 of LBT. Kia ora have recently upgraded the student system to Rhino 7. I offer this first as a work around for this visibility issue, and then as a query to and in case this triggers some kind of inspiration as to what viewport settings might need to be set in Rhino 7 so they match Rhino 6. What we have just discovered is that if we use one of the room or face attribute displays, that I have now added to the student modelling script to ensure a certain level of Quality Assurance, then switching these via a gate command fed through a custom preview, then the base model is made visible and the Rhino view settings are altered so all our graphs are visible! On our student machines, the issue was even more frustrating. ![]() I had no idea what to search for in a visibility or camera setting n Rhino. Switching view mode from wireframe to render and back again mostly solved this. When I first did this on my home development machine there seemed to be issues with what I would interpret from my AutoCAD days as a front and back cutting plane within which the graphs sometimes were visible. This is the visibility of my LBT 1.3 graphics in the Rhino screens. You’ll then also lose the ability to log in to the associated Rhino account and thus lose access to any personal licenses within.I have in the last couple of days dealt a significant Rhino 7 frustration. The risk is that when you stop with TU Delft you lose access to your NetID. If you own the licenses personally then you should consider moving them to another Rhino account that uses a personal email address. What to do if I already have personal licenses in my account? When logging in, and you already have a Rhino account associated with a TU Delft (student) email address, you will be guided through the process of configuring the new login method and joining the team. Now, if you haven’t already, you can start Rhino and log in. A new Rhino account will be created and automatically added to the “TU Delft University Licenses” team. Those of you without existing Rhino accounts associated with a TU Delft email address will be prompted straightaway to log in with your NetID. This process can also be initiated from Rhino 6 or 7 by choosing to log in when asked for a license. ![]() ![]() Instead, whether you have an existing Rhino account or not, you should start by going to and entering your TU Delft email address (not your NetID). However you will not be able to request a license code if you have lost yours. Your current Rhino 6 and/or 7 license will remain valid until 1 October 2021. ![]() Same manuals are also available on the software portal of TU Delft. If you have never used Rhino and the introduction above does not ring a bell with you, then please follow the installation manuals for Rhino 6 or 7 for Windows or macOS on our manuals pages. The special TU download pages on where you entered your TU (student) email address to get a serial code for Rhino 6 or 7 do not work anymore. A change has been made in how to get a personal Rhino license with your TU (student) email address. ![]()
