PolylineOnMesh error - the line disappears

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Hi all,

For my work I have 3D obj models of coral reefs made in Agisoft and I use the PolylineOnMesh tool to cut out individual corals. This used to work well a year ago (https://1drv.ms/v/s!AvOC3oq4Zscw3ki6MpSU2rBKYfF0) but since this fall we are having troubles. In many of the models when I trace the coral around with the PolylineOnMesh and then click on the beginning point to connect the line to a circle, the line disappears completely (https://1drv.ms/v/s!AvOC3oq4Zscw3kf1yFi15CQZ38u-). Can someone help me figure out how I can get this to work again?

Thank you

Franziska

Hi Franziska - instead of clicking the last point, what happens if you use the Close command line option?

And, if you hide the mesh completely, is the polyline there or is it not created at all?

Does your display mode have ‘Curves’ set to show? (Display panel)

Curves are set to show and the polyline doesnt show up if I hide the mesh.

Sometimes a line doesnt work and the next time I try it does. Simple lines with a few nodes generally work but with more complex ones (many nods) it doesnt always work.
When I make lines that arent supposed to close I have the same problem.

Hi Franziska - Please run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and copy/paste the results here.

Hi Franziska -

In terms of GPUs, those drivers are ancient. Please open the Notifications panel in Rhino to find links to updated drivers.

I updated the driver and it seems as if it is fixed now. :slight_smile:
