Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Grasshopper preview opacity settings

Hey everyone, 

i am having trouble with displaying grasshopper geometry properly. 

As you can see in the attached screenshot the edges of boxes that should be occluded by boxes further up front are still drawn (even though the custom preview component is set to full opacity).

Does anyone know a way to avoid this / what could be the reason for this?

Thanks!

Leo

Hi Leo,

it's an artifact of the way in which Grasshopper draws its geometry. In order to always appear on top of Rhino curves, the curves I draw are biased slightly towards the camera. In extreme cases it ends up looking like this.

I added a FAQ topic that explains some more about this. Unfortunately at present there is nothing you can do to fix this.
