    Question madCAM 7 Simulator Display Z-Buffering Artifacts

    in madCAM 7.0.2023.605 with Rhino 7.38.24338.17001 (both are latest available version):

    the shaded display in madCAM Simulator window displays artifacts where the stock and the workpiece and the cut paths are incorrectly rendered (presumably due to Z buffering problem). This does not occur in Rhino's Perpective viewport shaded display, it only occurs in madCAM's Simulator window.
    The Simulator resolution option is set to "fine". Changing the voxel size has an effect on the artifact's visual appearance but does not eliminate the artifacts. (it just makes individual artifacts smaller).

    Has anyone else experienced this problem and knows how to resolve it?
    Small toolpath features like surface engraving are completely invisible due to the display artifacts.

    A screen capture showing the artifacts is attached.
    Thanks...

    I usually have my model in Rhino set to shaded.

    Try this or other settings. I'm assuming from your wording you are in rendered mode?
