CreateFromBrep hang

Rhino Developer

Hi,

My plugin is converting breps into meshes but sometimes it just fails. In such cases the CreateFromBrep just hangs on this line and it never goes further. I was using different meshing parameters but nothing seem to be working. Attached is also the test model which is failing.

Let me add that I’m using Rhinoceros 8 while in Rhinoceros 6 I had no such problems.

Hey @karol.wierzbicki,

Is there any reason you don’t use the Mesh.CreateFromBrep method in RhinoCommon?

This is exactly what I’m using

Hi @karol.wierzbicki,

Can you share your code so we don’t have to re-type?

Also, if you move your polysurface to the world origin, do you get results?

So the example can be as simple as this and it will fail for the geometry I have attached in first post.
The coordinates system is always set to World. I’m not sure if you ask me to set it also programmatically?

Result Run(RhinoDoc doc)
{
    var go = new GetObject();
    go.SetCommandPrompt("Select...");

    go.GetMultiple(1, 0);
    if (go.CommandResult() != Result.Success)
        return go.CommandResult();

    DocObjects.ObjRef[] objRefs = go.Objects();
    if (objRefs == null)
        return Result.Nothing;


    while (true)
    {
        GetResult gr = gi.Get();
        if (gr == GetResult.Cancel)
            break;
    }

        var shape = objRefs[0].Geometry() as Brep;
        MeshingParameters mp = new MeshingParameters();
        mp.RelativeTolerance = 0; // Density
        mp.GridAngle = RhinoMath.ToRadians(5); // maximum angle
        mp.GridAspectRatio = 3; // Maximum aspect ratio
        mp.MinimumEdgeLength = 1; // Minimum Edge Length
        mp.MaximumEdgeLength = 5; // Maximum Edge Length
        mp.Tolerance = 0.1; // Max distance, edge to surface
        mp.GridMinCount = 50; // Minimum initial grid quads
        mp.RefineGrid = true; // Refine grid
        mp.JaggedSeams = false; // jagged seams
        mp.SimplePlanes = true; // simple planes
        var compMeshes = Mesh.CreateFromBrep(shape, mp);

    return Result.Success;
}

By the way separate issue is that when I use go.GetMultiple(1, 0); Rhino will hang when only one object is selected.

Hi @karol.wierzbicki,

Rhino’s meshes doesn’t hang. Rather, based on your meshing parameters its making a large mesh that takes time to compute.

 Rhino object: mesh
  ON_Mesh: vertex count = 4006658  facet count = 4035651

Yes, now after changing parameters I get the mesh. Thank you.
