Repeatable crash with GeometryPipeline object...

Just curious to see what it was, when I put one on a blank canvas, I got an error box (attached). Then when I deleted the component Rhino crashed instantly (crash report sent in). I saw NaK on the command line (if that helps)... 30.11 V5/64 Beta... I can repeat this here...

Hi Mitch,

are you using Rhino5? If so, this should go away when the next Rhino5 beta goes out.

In the meantime I'll try and stop it from actually crashing though.

Great, yet another update! useful new stuff!

if i may, here's a bug alert : some components (series, range, sequence, random) have this second zero on the address that can't be get rid off unless using the path mapper (simplify doesn't work for some reason)

Simplification removes those numbers that are shared amongst all paths. Since your data only has a single path, simplify doesn't do anything. If you only ever have a single path and you want to get rid of the extra zero, you can flatten the data instead.

Thanks again David, can't wait to try it.

Oh, and I love the internalise options!

hmm, not seeing any errors here. Wonder if it's because I have the beta that got pulled?

hi all,

i,ve some performing troubles with the new version:

im working with some big/computationally intensive files (about 10 minutes calculation time after opening). in this files it take about 7 seconds for every action and then it jump back to the rhino screen and i have to open the grasshopper window again.

this also happen if i just drag down a new component or wire an empty output to the panel.i tried to delete the content of the file step by step from the back and it gets faster and faster...

during the loading process a seperate tooltip tab appears in the task menu for a moment, cant remember this happend before.

it feels like grasshopper does an autosave every step, but the auto save boxes are checked correctly.

i have no problems in new or small files, and i didn´t have this behavior in the 0.8.0060 version. i work in rhino 4

does anybody have the same troubles or could send me the 0.8.0060 build, unfottunately i deleted the setup file?

thanks for your help

Hi Christoph,

can you email me the files I need to test the slowdown? If they are very large (they certainly sound large) you can use the McNeel FTP upload system: http://www2.mcneel.com/upload/Upload.aspx
