PointGrid limit?

Is there a max limit of points you can create with the PointGrid command? Or maybe a max limit in the number of object you can have in rhino?

The reason I’m asking is because I need to create a really dense point cloud but when I use this command, if the point cloud has too many points in it, it just doesn’t work. And by “it doesn’t work” I don’t mean that rhino freezes or crashes while trying to run it, I mean the command doesn’t do anything.

If you wanna try yourself, copy and paste the following to the command line:

-_PointGrid
X=447
Y=447
Z=447
P
0,0,0
0,0,100
0,100,0
100,0,0

This should work fine, but if you bump up the X, Y or the Z value by just 1 it will fail and nothing will happen.

Anyone?

Hi Roberto -
I’ve put this on the list to be looked at → RH-80507 PointGrid: Evaluate current limitation
