Maya 2018 Stereo Display Not Working MAC

[Anonymous]

Hello,

In Maya 2018 and 2017, when setting up a Stereo Camera Rig the Zero Parallax Plane and Safe Viewing Volume does not display in the viewport.  Maya 2015 is the last version I have used a stereo camera setup and the display worked as easy as ticking the box next to Zero Parallax.  Obviously, without being able to see where the Parallax Plane is it is nearly impossible to set up a scene.    

I am running a Mac Pro 2013 on 10.12.6 with an AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB graphics card.  

I have come across some documentation that there are issues with the Viewport in 2017 and 2018 with Mac.  However, this simple Parallax plane not displaying seems a bit weird that it could be tossed out with other more complex Viewport capabilities.  Any solutions?

Thank you,

Nicholas

Hi @Anonymous

Is your rendering engine set to DirectX? I just tested this and it won't appear with DirectX but will appear with Open GL set to your rendering engine.

Another workaround would be to enable the legacy viewport and view it that way.

Please let me know if this helps or if you need any more assistance!
