PointDeviation is broken in V7. When used to check points to a curve the statistics in the pop-up panel are all 0.00000 and no statistics are reported in the command line window. PointDeviation appears to work correctly when used to check points to a surface. PointDeviation in V6 and the current WIP works correctly.

It is working correctly on my laptop which has Rhino 7 SR9 2021-7-20 (Rhino 7, 7.9.21201.05001, installed but not on my desktop which has the one week newer Rhino 7 SR9 2021-7-26 (Rhino 7, 7.9.21207.13001 installed.
@jeremy5 Which exact release do you have? What is the date of it?
This appears to be specific to the combination of V7 and my desktop. I uninstalled Rhino 7 SR9 2021-7-26 (Rhino 7, 7.9.21207.13001 from my desktop and installed Rhino 7 SR8 2021-7-15 (Rhino 7, 7.8.21196.05001 which is the same as on my laptop. The problem occurs on my desktop but not on my laptop nor with V6 or V8 WIP on my desktop.
Hi David - I am not sure what setting Ignore to 0 does - I don’t get the problem you show but that seems like an odd setting, to me. What I do see is that the display does not update correctly at all - I need to change the scale setting in some cases to force a redraw.
Pascal solved this. Ignore set to 0 is the problem. It only affects the statistics, not the coloring of the points and the hairs. I now recall having run into this before.
@jeremy5 Thank you for your interest and assistance. Setting “Ignore” to a larger value solved the problem for me. Resetting it to zero does not cause the problem to reoccur.
@pascal It looks like there already is logic in PointDeviation for which partially deals “Ignore” smaller than “Bad point”. If I set “Ignore” and/or “Bad point” so that “Ignore” is less than “Bad point” then the new “Ignore” setting appears to be ignored. But it is not obvious what is used to determine what points to ignore in that case. The logic has me baffled and I have some real work to do.
@pascal I was able to cause the problem again. I set both Ignore and Bad point to zero. Point deviation continued to show the deviations but all statistics were zero. I then set Ignore and Bad point to non-zero values but statistics continued to be zero. Restarted Rhino and it was working correctly. Then tried to reproduce the problem without success. There appears to a glitch in some code but unfortunately it is not easy to reproduce.
