Backface Culling not working in NX 8.

[kf8xo]

We remove a lot of b-side sheet metal in NX. Utilizing backface culling is a helpful tool that allows us to see we haven't missed anything. I have backface culling turned on under "Preference-Vis Performance" Yet I am still seeing the backface of my "A" side surface, which has never been the case in previous versions. What has changed in NX8 that might be causing this? We clean mostly .jt files.

Thanks in advance!

Have you actually checked the same exact files in both NX 8.0 and whatever was the last version that you've used which you say worked? If so and you've verified that there indeed appears to be some loss of capabilities, please contact GTAC with these example files and have them verify this as well and if they do, have them open a PR so that it can be properly evaluated by R&D and resolved.
