Complex 'Populate Geometry' causes Rhino to Crash in sr13

Grasshopper
1

I think I’ve found my very first bug in Grasshopper that leads to a full crash!

I’ve narrowed down the bug to the Populate Geometry component, which crashes Rhino when trying to attach one point to each item in a long list of surfaces (irregardless of whether I input a cleaned tree or a list).

Can anyone verify this bug is replicateable on different machines? Clicking ok closes Rhino+Gh.

Attached is a minimal version of the script, no .3dm file needed.

I have some complicated geometry that I want to populate with one point each for the purpose of testing inside/outside inclusion. Evaluate surface will not work as these are thin trimmed surfaces. Previously PopGeometry it was taking about half a second to calculate. Incidentally, does anyone have a more efficient idea of how to do this?

It seems to have only occurred when I tried to split a Brep with a cutter outside the range of the Brep. Moving the Brep stopped the crash.

I spoke too soon, still having this problem today.

Hi @Patt,

I think you forgot to attach the script.

Oh dear, sorry. Script should be attached below.

No you keep interrupting the attaching process. I think you have to wait until that text changes into the actual link before posting. Of course if the file contains lots and lots of internalised data that might be a while.

I actually find the file only crashes with a vast amount of data, over the 20mb size limit of Discord. I’m rethinking my original post as finding more of a limitation rather than a bug. Using the Area component to find a point on a surface has been much more robust and faster for my script than Populate Geometry.
