Prefab of SpriteShapeRenderer not rendered if first point not visible

I basically have the same issue as described by someone else here: https://answers.unity.com/questions/1626066/prefab-of-spriteshaperenderer-not-rendered-if-firs.html, but I can't find a solution anywhere.

In essence, the shape is not rendered if the origin point is outside of the camera. This feels like a bug, but maybe it's just a setting that I am missing?

I'm on Unity 2020.1.8f1 with SpriteShape 4.1.4

Thanks a lot for your time and help.

 

Found a possible solution by scrolling this thread: https://forum.unity.com/threads/tel...-with-sprite-shape.686305/page-3#post-6083610

Adding GenerateSpriteShapes.cs works, but DestroyOnCompletion needs to be unchecked, because the shape changes in time. This might be heavy on computation.

 

After hours of searching I found a clean workaround here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/spr...the-sprite-does-not-show.586453/#post-7270162 . It's the visual bounds that aren't automatically re-calculated when the spline updates. That thread gives a nice and short snippet on how to do that manually after modifying the spline.
