Hi Andrade,

what you report is not an MNE issue it's a mayavi issue.

you may want to test the pyvista backend in the 0.20 version

Sorry I am so ignorant so many times about this topic.  
I have installed pyvista but I don't have a clear idea about this. So I might ask few questions.

When I run my code. Instead of using mayavi it will use pyvista? Do I have to uninstall mayavi then? Or it will use both?

You should use this function:

[https://mne.tools/stable/generated/mne.viz.set\_3d\_backend.html#mne.viz.set\_3d\_backend](https://mne.tools/stable/generated/mne.viz.set_3d_backend.html#mne.viz.set_3d_backend)

No need to uninstall mayavi. You can switch back and forth between the two.
