So I closed a Rhino 7 file while still in Block Editor, saved the file. Now that I open it again, it is still in Block Editor, but after I close the editor there is nothing in the file. I cant select, unhide, or zoom anything. Even the set of table and chairs that’s the edited block disappears. I also didn’t find an autosaved file in the proper folder. I copied the file, and when I open the copy its the same story. The file still is 135 MB, its just blank.
Any ideas on how to get out of this predicament?
Thank you in advance.
PS: Bellow a screenshot of the document as soon as I open it.
You should be able to go to your Windows Recycle Bin, find a recently deleted Autosave file for this model, and restore it.
That should still have the rest of the file.
There are a couple ways to rectify this. The one that comes to mind is to go to plugins and disable the block edit. Open the file and then save. Open Rhino again and re-enable the Block-Edit plugin.
It happened to me as well now several times and crashed some major project files.
The suggested solution only worked half way for me. Good approach though. When I disable BlockEdit I can use the file as usual but as soon as I enable BlockEdit again the command window is popping up again and when I close it everything goes blank again.
I found a solution but it’s not elegant at all and is quite time consuming. Usually no objects can be edited during BlockEdit but when this issues appears - in my case - everything can be edited normally except for blocks because the BlockEdit is already running. So I unlocked all layers, made them all visible and copied everything to a completely new file. The same I did with all layouts.
Really not a great way but at least I managed to save the data.
Would be great if this could be solved more easily in future Rhino versions.
