Rendering inconsistent across two computers

Hi,

When I try to preview or render this code:

difference(){
circle(r = 100);

translate([10, 0, 0])
circle(r = 100);
}

On my computer, I see a crescent, as expected. When my friend previews or
renders it on his computer, there's no model. We both have version
2015.03-2 running on windows 10.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Will

I entered your code into my Linux computer using the same OpenSCAD
version you mentioned.

Initially, I could not see the preview, but 100 units out is beyond the
default view for the preview. After I clicked the zoom-in icon a couple
of times, there it was.

I don't know if that was an issue for your friend, but...

I had to zoom out to be able to see it. If your friend is a novice that
might be the problem.

The preview (F5) is using opencsg, which depends on the graphics card
capabilities.
If you to F6 (full render), do you get the same result?

Cheers,
