In the 3D viewer's pane menu (Pane, Operator, Select, View) if you go to View->Shading-> then pick a shading model, it does not correspond to the bottom menu's selection, or that of the right stow bar.

For example if you try to pick wireframe from the top menu, it yields “wireframe bounding box”). If you pick “flat shaded”, it gives “Hidden Line invisible”. etc. It doesnt match up.

Secondly, I just noticed that the right stow bar's icon updates but the text selection does not. I.e. it has old information on the current shading model, even though the icon is up to date. The bottom icon does not have this problem.

Using WinXP, H 8.0.383

Thanks for taking the time to report this! This is now fixed for Houdini 8.0.481.

thanks for the quick reply, when will .481 be up? tommorow? (I take it its a nightly build?)

EDIT: Also, is there a way to just get an update without having to download the whole thing again?

Yes, tomorrow. Sorry, you have have to download the whole thing again.

darn, oh well. I'll probably wait for a more major update before i download again
