In fact I can't recreate the bug even if I start OpenSCAD again I get all the objects drawn, so it was a one off bug it seems.

 Turning off the vbo features gets the missing objects back but
 turning them on again still draws everything, so not sure what is
 going on.

     It should look like this:

     I don't see any pattern in what is missing and the normalised
     tree size is the same8823 elements. There are a lot more
     cached CGAL polyhedra. I think this version is based on an old
     master and may have some bugs that have been fixed.
     Or is there a limit to the number of elements it can draw with
     vbos?

         MacOS build times are limited on most of the free CI platforms
         so we can't just build every change unfortunately.

         Github seems to have quite generous usage limits even for
         MacOS,
         so there's a chance we can extend the automatic builds there.
         With Travis pretty much going down soon for Open Source usage
         we'll have to see how that impacts other platforms as people
         migrate their projects.

This smells like an initialization bug, sometimes the uninitialized state works, sometimes it doesn't, usually depends on some raw memory coming up zero or not zero. Happy hunting!

Sorry for a dumb question, but this is my first time using prerelease builds of OpenSCAD. I just downloaded RC6 on my M1 MacBook Air. Under preferences, I don't see the VBO features (I presume the Advanced Tab is where I would see it?). So I presume this feature isn't available in RC6 for Macs? Thanks for suggestions. -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/

RC6 is a release candidate so it behaves like a release, not like a development snapshot. Experimental features are part of snapshots. So RC6 does not have experimental features. Grab a http://www.openscad.org/downloads.html#snapshots to use the feature. > -----Original Message----- > From: Discuss [mailto:discuss-bounces@lists.openscad.org] On Behalf Of Gibbon > Sent: Fri, 29 Jan 2021 12:51 > To: discuss@lists.openscad.org > Subject: Re: [OpenSCAD] OpenCSG slowness > > nophead wrote > > Turning off the vbo features gets the missing objects back but turning > > them > > on again still draws everything, so not sure what is going on. > > Sorry for a dumb question, but this is my first time using prerelease builds > of OpenSCAD. > I just downloaded RC6 on my M1 MacBook Air. > Under preferences, I don't see the VBO features (I presume the Advanced Tab > is where I would see it?). > So I presume this feature isn't available in RC6 for Macs? > Thanks for suggestions. > > > > > -- > Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/ > > _______________________________________________ > OpenSCAD mailing list > Discuss@lists.openscad.org > http://lists.openscad.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.openscad.org -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com

However, according to this <http://forum.openscad.org/Apple-M1-migtation-tp30719p31571.html> , the VBO Render is not in Master yet, so it won't be in the snapshots. ----- OpenSCAD Admin - email* me if you need anything, or if I've done something stupid... * on the Forum, click on my MichaelAtOz label, there is a link to email me.

It's now in master and available via the snapshot builds: https://files.openscad.org/snapshots/OpenSCAD-2021.02.01.dmg Make sure to enable the still experimental features via Preferences->Features named vertex-object-renderers*. ciao, Torsten.
