Escape Dream [...abort any Command by simply hitting the “Esc” key]

Rhino
21

Are you asking for a model to be sent to you? It could be several GB, do you have an FTP for such things?

22

Yes. There’s a link on the Support page for uploading large files to support.
Please include the details in the comments on the form.

Thank you

I’ll try to get to it over the weekend. I’ll sent one part that I’ve needed to explode the mesh. This model will be confidential data. Please do not share it or post it.

The repeatable example for MeshOutline:

  1. make a box
  2. Array 30 x 30 x 30, any spacing; you will end up with 27,000 boxes.
  3. Run MeshOutline on these
    That’s it. It should take several minutes at least of Rhino going into a freeze mode, with no way to cancel. With this particular command it’s either the number of objects or the object’s complexity.

Asking for repeatable examples of files for this general request to make more commands Escapable is too generic. Take any of the commands that was requested and logged into YT for ability to ESC and make the scene/operation complex enough (like the simple sample above) and you will have plenty of “cases” to test this and implement esc-stop. You guys just need to realize how important or disruptive it is to experience these freezes. Even for experienced users that know what to expect from Rhino and when it would get into that frozen mode with some commands, it’s hard to avoid this. Many times we wish we saved just before running this so we can kill the process instead of waiting to finish it math-crunching-non-escapable-code. As I am writing this the above example is still processing, 8 minutes so far; time to kill the Rhino process…

Hi Gary, Here you go…

Upload form page.

It asks for a recipient’s email… who should I enter and what is their email?

Only works for Seattle office e-mail addresses if you happen to be situated in North America. Here, that gets you the McNeel Europe staff and e-mails. (yes, I have complained about this)

thanks Mitch, i did not realize that.

So, now who do I send the file to? Please give me an email address in your return email.

I’ve tried 3 time to upload the file and it is either timing out or exceeding your FTP capacity, it flat out fails.

Being able to ESC opening of an large file (IFC etc) would be great too.
