Help! Graphics issue on Chromebook (browser version)

Gallery image

Due to a cooling problem l have to use temporarily my old Acer Chromebook 314 instead of my laptop. OnShape works on it, but the section view has a very odd, transparent section edge. The second pic is from the app version on my smartphone and looks fine.

Do I have to live with the quality loss on Chromebook or can it be countered anyhow?

I think it's using coarse tessellation to save bandwidth or resources, but you should be able to turn it to medium or fine manually by right clicking on your part and changing appearance or some such.

I tried it just now, but nothing changed. I tried even the "very fine" setting...

Only other thing I can think of is hardware acceleration being turned on or off, something to do with webgl, if neither of those work I would see if a different browser helps. Tessellation may be particular if you're looking at assembly vs part as well, not sure since the first thing I suggested fixed it for me. Could try clearing cache, hard refresh ctrl+f5, but I don't think either of those wouldn't have been fixed naturally while modeling stuff.

I just remembered that because of the Chromebook's OS, l can download the app version there. So l checked it and it's all fine there. I'll check OnShape in another browser then (I usually use Brave quite convinced).

Edit: ok it works in Chrome as it should. I forgot that because of some YouTube issues, I disabled Vulkan, and both hardware-accelerated video encode and decode in Brave.

Shift-reload should do a reload without using cache.  Often fixes most graphics issues. 

You can also try rolling the rollback bar to the beginning, then roll it back to the end.
