Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi All, 

 

I'm having a little trouble with the way grasshopper geometry is rendered in the Rhino viewports. In the image below you'll note that lines generated in grasshopper are not occluded by objects in front of them. The normal rhino geometry on the other hand behaves more like what would be expected with surfaces occluding lines. Also if normal rhino geometry is placed in front of grasshopper generated lines the problem persists, basically grasshopper lines are really hard to occlude. 


 

But not impossible! In the image below I can occlude the grasshopper lines if I zoom the camera out far enough. I've also tried playing around with the camera lens length but haven't had much success. 


 

Baking the geometry is unfortunately not an option because I'd like everything to appear neatly for live demonstrations. Does anyone have ideas on how this might be fixed? Perhaps I'm overlooking something?

I think the problem is about geometry. As I remember occlusion is only avaible for meshes. Just convert this high cylinder to mesh and then have a try.

My apologies, I think I used some confusing wording. I wasn't taking about the occlusion feature in grasshopper but just how to block grasshopper generated lines with other geometry in the rhino viewports. Is the a known problem or do I have something configured incorrectly?

 

 

no problem, lets say its my fault ;] i have no idea how to change occlusion in rhino viewport, i think its impossible.
