Missing images from threads

[ivelin.peychev]

I see there are a lot of images missing from old threads.
Did you have a system failure or a cleanup or something?

[sam]

That is not great, can you link me to a couple of problem topics?

Hi @sam - here is a couple:

Shadow boundary for 2D cnc

I’d still have to go around and split all the corners before rebuilding otherwise they would round off. I’d then have to rejoin to get closed loops. The attached screenshot shows a few of the real objects. There are 322 in this file Each piece is 18mm thick with curved sloping sides at varying angles. They are not vertical, All pieces have at least 2 x 12mm diameter holes. The attached image does not show all the holes because of the resolution. In the largest model, yet to be considered, the…

Picky OSnaps

Yes, to both of those, Mikko. Thanks. Not sure I’m with you on this one. Would that mean that you can snap to the corner that is on the back side of the box - represented by the point in the following image? That would not be like normal (non-clipping) behavior and therefore counter-intuitive if you ask me.

I’ll just keep adding the topics whenever I see some missing images/files.

Offset: "Loose" option

Grasshopper has Offset Loose component (Curve-Util). [image]

Video : Offset Curve Dave Hack

Here’s the first project where I developed the ‘Dave Hack.’ It’s actually on the market now at amazon. [image]

Here’s one more:

V6 Goal: Make2d overhaul

I agree, distinguishing edge curves from the rest helps readability. And by the way: Technical display modes like “PEN” already does this. [image] 3D model: Spatial Depth Cues - House.3dm (343.7 KB)

From the looks of it images prior to Summer 2015 are missing.

Hi, and here from 2018 the image has been replaced with a link that leads to a 404 error page:

Holomark2_R6

Hi guys! Holomark2_R6 is ready to test! But be warned! It can take as much as 10 minutes to complete on high end systems!!! Since I have had too much to do lately I have not been able to finish off Holomark3 yet, so after a lot of pretty-please’s I descided to rewrite Holomark2 so it supports Rhino 6 properly. It is a little bit cooler though, since Rhino 6 is cooler and faster I decided to put some (cool - pun intended) white flames on the mini and paint the car black, lower it a bit and ad…

Missing file here:

Monitor mouse event

It does indeed, I use it all the time. Very useful functionality. What I was rather poorly referring to was calling the Rhino.RhinoDoc.AddRhinoObject event from a GHPython component. I just tried it out quickly yesterday using your code and had no luck getting it working (works from the editPythonScript editor though). I have very little experience with events, but would like to get started. In this case I was looking to write a GHPython component which reads geometry from nested Rhino layers a…

OK we are on to this, we are aware of the full extent of the problem 6000 images in total which were from 2015 and older were impacted.

There is a long story here but back in 2015 we had a different file upload naming scheme and we did not migrate mcneel to the new scheme. We are doing a full analysis here to see if there is anything we can do to recover the images. @stevebaer any chance you have an old backup hanging around somewhere?

Regarding @Holo’s issue, this is different and somewhat complex. What happened here I think is.

1. You uploaded the image on another post (or draft)
2. Then you right clicked on the image, copied the URL and put it in the holomark2 post.

This leads to a somewhat complex and not great situation, which I will make sure we fix in core. Since the URL is to a smaller and optimized version of the original our internal processes that map “uploads” to “posts” did not pick up that this post contained the upload. Later your draft disappeared or original post with the image got deleted, the reference between post and image was lost and it was removed.

OK, I’ll remember that for later
Will you fix it, or is the image lost and I should edit it with a new image?

[ivelin.peychev]

@Holo

Will you fix it, or is the image lost and I should edit it with a new image?

My question is. Could you add some kind of iframe support and we share images from our own clouds?

Probably 50% of the code examples I’ve posted were images. I guess that was a wrong. I’ll try to use the code tags from now on as much as possible.

@Holo

We will make core more resilient so you do not need to remember that. If it easy for you to add a new image there please do so, its probably a 20-30 minute job for us to dig it up from backups, if we even have it (we may cause its not that old)

[Holo]

OK, it would probably take me some time too as it can’t be edited now

Can you put this one in there for me? :

[sam]

wow, awesome, thanks it is done.

[Holo]

PERFECT! Thanks for the superfast handling!

[stevebaer]

@sam

@stevebaer any chance you have an old backup hanging around somewhere?

I have a super old discourse from version 0.9.8.1 that is sitting dormant on ec2. I might be able to revive it, but I’m not sure how much we’ll get out of that.

[sam]

That may help do you recall if images were local?

[stevebaer]

No idea; it’s been a while Just let me know how I can help

one thread totally ruined by missing pictures:

Real Basic, Questions on layer filters

Here is some stuff I put together on using the rhino filters, although the # and alpha wildcards I cannot figure out for now, after a half day of testing. Anyways, it seems many different query formats are used across different developer platforms, and applications. The ones these maps are in reference to should be true for most if not all of them. Some have periods instead of astericks, and such. But the format and rules of the atserick should all pretty much be the same. Same for question…

Self-Intersecting curve extrude

Hi everyone. I have a set of curves that I got via the following steps: A drawing from an artist that looks like this: [image] I livetraced every color in illustrator, and exported the curves as a dwg. When I import it in Rhino, it looks fine, like this: [image] Now, each color represents a layer of laser-cut wood. The problem I’m having is that most of the generated curves appear to be self-intersecting, so when I try to extrude the first layer, I get this result: [image] It’s not a p…
