Hi!

We are having issues with Synchro Iray it is showing a hollow surface if we use growth simulation. Does anyone here has the same issue?

@Jacqueline Chen is this something you might be able to offer some assistance on? Or hopefully one of the SYNCHRO dev team perhaps?

To our knowledge its a limitation of the Iray render, with only 'clunnky' work arounds, such as duplicate objects placed just behind the cutting plane to give the 'illusion' of a closed edge.

I have the same issue when using Iray. I got this reply from Synchro Support: Iray actually does not support cutting plane faces and it's not possible to fill in the gaps created by a cutting plane. The materials are applied to geometry, and where the gaps are, there is no geometry to apply it to. Currently, the only way to implement capping would be to generate a polygon to fill the gap, which obviously is not practical. I'm not even sure if we will fix this either since we would like to transition from Iray to LumenRT eventually.
