New Rhino Radial Menu- So Good!

Plug Ins
61

Same here

62

What about if you use “paste text” instead of “type text” like this:

Does that help? and is it just the extend button that crashes the app?

63

I tried using “Paste Text”, but the command doesn’t seem to work. Maybe I’m doing something wrong somewhere, but I can’t really tell where.

In any case, the crash also happens with other commands. Here, for example, when I use ExtendSrf, Rhino bugs out.

64

I’m not a Rhino user, but there is probably a command/console field where you can write commands.
Looks like it’s in the picture below ‘_CutAt" . Is there a shortcut to activate that command field?
If so, the macro should simulate that hotkey, maybe wait a short delay like 0.1sec, THEN paste or type the command.

A good idea to think about this is “how would I have done it manually”, then make a macro that performs the same steps.

If you are able to make it work with “Rhinoceros WIP” then it would be nice to upload the menu so other users can avoid setting it up themself :slight_smile:

Hei Alexander -

Unless a field in a panel has focus, the command line is always listening for keyboard input. There is no command to make that active.

Alright, I’ll try to install Rhinoceros WIP and see if I can solve it.

67

Without a Rhino 8 license I don’t think you will be able to install Rhino 9 WIP Alex.
I have installed Rhino 9 WIP to check and I’m seeing the same issues as @brvdln
Using the Radial menu crashes Rhino 9 WIP in almost every occasion.
If I can help you troubleshoot let me know. perhaps we can zoom and i can share my screen so you can see what is going on it real time.
email me if you want to set this up.

That ‘ symbol is a command line modifier.

Rhino 3D command-line modifiers are as follows.

! — Cancel

  • Immediately aborts the current command.

  • Same effect as pressing Esc.

  • Used inline to force a hard reset of command state.

_ — Language-neutral command

  • Forces Rhino to interpret the command in English, regardless of UI language.

  • Critical for scripts, macros, aliases, tutorials, and cross-locale reliability.

  • Example: _Line works in all language versions.

' — One-shot command

  • Runs a command temporarily inside another command, then returns you to the original command.

  • Used to access tools like snaps, object properties, or reference geometry without exiting.

  • Example: While drawing, 'Point places a point, then resumes the draw command.

Even removing the ‘ from all macros im still getting most of them to crash rhino.

I found out that ' _Polylinecrashes but '_Polylinedoes not.
Maybe it’s just the space between ‘ and the command that WIP doesn’t like. :thinking:

Edit: It seems WIP crashes because it doesn’t like synthetic input.
I couldn’t find reliable workarounds.
I made an AutoHotkey script to test, and that works.
So I might be able to fix this by injecting input in a different way :thinking:

71

I haven’t been following this thread closely, but I am very confused about the usage of the apostrophe in front of commands. Those are used to call a nestable command when running a different command. None of the geometry creation commands are nestable. What are you trying to do?

In your video, I’m seeing the Rhino crash reporter pop up but you don’t send that in at that point. I’m not seeing any crash reports from your email address in our system. Please always, always send in the report when the crash reporter pops up.
-wim

I’m not sure why there was an apostrophe, but as shown in the screen recording video I replaced it with the correct wording. However, the command still crashes anyway. This is an issue with this application not working properly with Rhino WIP, which causes Rhino to freeze or crash.

The problem doesn’t occur only with the Extend command, but with all other commands as well. Sometimes a command works once, but if you try to call it again, it crashes after a short while.

What I’ve noticed is that this does not happen with Rhino 8. I didn’t submit a bug report because the crash is caused by this external application, so I didn’t consider it necessary.

73

Hi -

As a test, what happens when you use the TestEtoCommandUI command and set UseEto=Legacy, then restart the WIP. Does that make the crash go away?

Thanks for sending in the crash report!
-wim

74

Sorry, but I didn’t quite understand what I’m supposed to do in this part.
I’m not a programmer, and it’s not clear to me what steps I should follow.
If @Frolt has downloaded Rhino WIP, he will probably be more helpful in resolving or understanding the issue.

75

It seems promising.
At least I’m not crashing.

Edit 1: Yeah now it works reliably on my end

Edit 2: I have reworked how my app simulate input, so it should be fixed in the next version :slight_smile:

76

New version with the fix is out.
I will work on resolving the other bugs as well.

77

New version is out that fixes the startup issue on win10.

78

cant buy pro.how to solve it?

79

The plug-in looks interesting, but unfortunately I’m not going to bother with another license method and delivery method. It’s not worth the hassle when every plug-in tries to do its own thing (Xnurbs, Cyberstrak, etc etc).

Remember the days when you got a serial number in the mail? Simpler times.

80

Understandable.

So glad this menu exists! Is it possible to set it up with Grasshopper?
