Crash: TriangulateNonPlanarQuads (v506)

Not sure what’s going on here, but I’m getting freezing during TriangulateNonPlanarQuads on a very simple model and need to force quit.

In a larger model, of which this rectangular plane is a part, I got hung up in the dialog boxes—it would not Discard Change or accept OK, so I had to force quit Rhino. I believe I backspaced a value out of the entry field to get the “” invalid message?

Then, TNPQ worked for other parts of the mesh, but not this one which I’ve isolated—a small polygon segment in the image below (with file attached). It appears valid under What. I selected the object and issued TriangulateNonPlanarQuads. It immediately beach balls the program. After about two minutes I get the same dialog box as above, which I can’t dismiss. Must force-quit application.

Figured you might want to know.

Thanks for the information.
I am able to duplicate the crash, so I will post it for the developer.
I did get the beach ball! Great description.

BTW the crash happens in Rhino 5 for Windows, too.
But Rhino checks it as a valid mesh.
I will be report it.
Thanks for the file.

Many thanks, Mary!

It’s good to know that being overly descriptive appears to have some benefits once in a blue moon. :wink:
