Hello to everyone.
I’ve been rhino user for 7 years.
I’ve been dealing with this issue for last days.
Only after importing a mesh from STL (not copy/paste from another file) the command line begin to show decimal numbers with comma instead of dot as usual; it doesn’t accept decimal part of a number (written either with comma or dot) and takes only the integer part of it.
I use rhino 5 SR9 64 with Win 8 64.
Same actions with same files works fine on another pc win 7 64
Same issue with old files that worked fine in the past
Removed rhino 5 (but not rhino4 update neither rhino 3)
Tried with rhino 5 SR0
Removed NVIDIA driver
Removed all recently installed software
Antivirus and antimalware scans done
This sounds very very similar to problem users of ours were having but just with Rhino 5 32 bit that haven’t seen on the 64 bit…See if this reproduces it…simply have Rhino open on system that is exhibiting this problem then do file, open and after picking the file see if problem is there, if not repeat with file, save, file, import, file, save as…in our trials with this it had something to do with file dialog or 3rd party shell extension, I don’t know if we and or McNeel ever totally figured it out. Like I said eventually all moved to 64 bit so went away but symptoms are EXACTLY same.
I’ve tried as you said but the problem remains: from the moment I import or open a STL file (or a rhino file including a mesh) the only thing I can do is to quit rhino.
IMPORTANT:
If I open the file by double -click on it the issue doesn’t occur (either STL or 3DM file).
It only occurs on “open” and “import” and it seems similar to the problem you remember for rhino 5 32 bit.
The thing I find strange is that I’ve been using this pc for more than a year with rhino 5: what did it happen last week?
Like said, not sure if ever found exact solution. we were lucky that at that time almost all our users could simply start exclusively using 64 bit Rhino and this went away. (and I will say this happened to only handful of users of ours) I think last thing McNeel and we were looking at was explorer shell extensions possibly (i.e. dll to help view files in explorer, or add menu capability via explorer to different file types). I think quick fix was McNeel had a command that would allow using ‘old style’ explorer dialogs and that also solved problem (though I think you lose thumbnail previews when doing this in the dialogs)…wish I remember that command for you but I’m sure someone from McNeel will know what I’m talking about…
Hi Maurizio - the problem apparently comes from Windows shell extensions (if this is the same problem as the one I know about) - the one we’ve been able to identify here is iCloud for Windows, but there may be others. SR10 of Rhino should handle this better- the release candidate is available, you can get this if you set your Rhino Oprtions > Updates and Statistics to look for Service Release Candtidate updates.
I installed SR10 but the problem is still there.
I have recently installed iCloud but unluckly its files are corrupted (perhaps it’s the origin of the issue?) and I can’t remove neither repair it or reinstall: I tried Ccleaner, Revo Uninstaller and IObit Uninstaller, but no way to remove iCloud for Windows.
Yes, I do. Every single time I import or open a mesh, the problem comes again duly. I push the button and it clears, but no permanent solution here. I hope for it, anyway can go on with my work.
Hi Brian, now that I removed ALL iCloud files it seems that all is ok. I can import and open mesh from 3DM and STL. The problem happened with both STL and 3DM files (3DM only if containing a mesh); the only chance I had was transferring the mesh by copy/paste to another empty rhino file.
I had to use different removal software and repeat several times a registry repair: there were lot of iCloud pieces in the registry.
Same prolbem here, could no longer type any number behind the decimal point… till i uninstalled iCloud!
Man i found this blog only after i went through several other trys including install/uninstall cleaning user profile, etc.
Thanks for the iCloud hint!
Im not actively using iCloud but i wonder if there is a solution for people who use it.
