Hello, I used command extractmeshface but it does not extract any face.
I closed the program 3 time and the third time have the mesh face extracted successfully.
I would say this is kind of unstable for the this command, a bug, I never know when this bug will come again, maybe in some urgent time, then I will go crazy.
Seems to be working fine here. Please run the Rhino command _SystemInfo and post the result in a reply. If you have a mesh with which the command fails for you please share that too.

The face extraction worked on this model for me
Youâre apparently still on Rhino 8.4, Iâd update to the latest service release 8.7
This is company computer and I do not know where to do upgrade. Thanks
If it is controlled by your IT departement youâll have to contact them.
Hello again, IT buddy ask me to do upgrade by myself. However here comes a silly question: I click help=>check for updates and the following showed up.
âclose Rhino to install the new versionâ⊠I tried closing the Rhino and no install started. I see" Downloaded: rhino_en_us8.5.24072.13001.exe" in this screen⊠but where is it located?
Just close Rhino - the closing process will ask you to install the update it has downloaded. You can also just press the Check Now⊠link to the right of the dialog just below Service Release dropdown.
I cannot click anything- look like it is disabled, they are in gray color.
It didnât start upgrade after closing Rhino, nothing started.
Ah yes, I missed that the section is disabled. Not sure why you wouldnt be able to check the box in the topleft. @pascal @wim @Gijs any idea?
@VinPo if you run TaskManager, do you have McNeel Update service running?
If that doesnât make a difference, the next thing Iâd try is a repair of Rhino.
Hello, I have tried repair but nothing change, upgrade is still disabledâŠ
These are downloaded to one of the subfolders in
%userprofile%\Appdata\local\McNeel\McNeelUpdate\DownloadCache\
-wim
No, those are not the files. Copy and paste the following line to he address bar in the window you just showed:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\McNeel\McNeelUpdate\DownloadCache
It will contain the file that was downloaded.
If that fails just go to Rhino - Downloads and download the latest Rhino 8 installer manually.
I manually updraded the Rhino to R8.7. Thank you.
I guess the McNeel disabled the automatic update, so everything is in gray color and cannot click anything.
It might be that your Rhino version was installed with updates disabled, possibly even internet access disabled. Check Automating installation Rhino 8 for Windows: Scripted Install [McNeel Wiki] - rerun the installer from the command-line with ENABLE_AUTOMATIC_UPDATES=1 DISABLE_INTERNET_ACCESS=1
