For some reason my Quadremesh isn’t working at all. Regardless of the base object I get “Quad Remesh failed to create a mesh.”. Doesn’t even work on a simple nurbs cube or sphere. My ultimate goal is to quadremesh more complicated mesh data.
I have a feeling that this is a bug on an early release, but unfortunately I’m running Rhino7 from an install that our IT team created and I don’t have Admin rights to update to a newer service release.
That’s a good question. Our corporate IT policy doesn’t allow us to have Admin rights on our computers which can be frustrating at times.
We install rhino using a package that our IT team creates and we install through the Software center. The feature to “Enable updates and usage statistics” is disabled so I’m not able to update rhino to the new service releases. I suppose this can happen if the IT repackages and newer version, but this is infrequent.
Do you know if Quadremesh was working on SR2 or is this a feature that was only functional on later service releases?
Thanks for checking. I tried a reboot and it doesn’t seem to help. I’m going to see if our IT department can install the software from the website download and see if that makes a difference. I have a feeling that there is something amiss with how either how Rhino is deployed by IT in the package.
We did a test and we got a failed result same as before. We then tried to run the application as the administrator, and then it worked. It seems as though that Rhino does not run quite the same if you don’t run it as the administrator.
@Trav this sounds like there may be an issue with running the quadremesh subprocess. Do you return a different error message when the process can’t be started?
@david_dirsa can you try running the quad remesh command and look in your Windows Temp Folder %temp% and see if you can spot any files that start with QR_ such as QR_inputMesh , QR_progress or QR_settings.
I’m wondering if perhaps Rhino’s unable to write to the temp folder under its current user policy? This could possibly explain why we might not be seeing an error.
Thanks, I’m not sure what sort of IT policy your company has in place but you may need to have an admin grant permissions for xremesh.exe inside your rhino plugins quad remesh folder. It does sound like something is preventing the process from starting or closing it immediately when it starts.
