Bitmap pictures lose texture after crash

Hi there,

On several occasions in both R7, and R8, I have bitmap pictures in the file. When it crashes and saves a RhinoCrash file to the desktop, and I open it, the bitmaps turn to solid surfaces. This can be problematic when you have heaps of pictures in blocks etc. If I want to get those picture textures back, I need to enter each block, and set object display mode to rendered. This can be a problem.

Is there a way around this?

Best,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy -

As far as I know, the “RhinoCrashDump.3dm” file that is created when Rhino crashes isn’t meant to be a backup of your work. You should revert to an earlier version that was (auto-)saved.
I don’t know of any other way than manually setting the display mode of those objects to Rendered to make them show the texture again.
