Query Model Linetypes skips "Continuous"

Grasshopper
,
1

The default baked linetype (when none is provided) appears to be Continuous.
However the Query Model Linetypes (Linetypes) never finds it or show it.

and the linetypes existing in the default 3dm templates.

Is this a bug or by design?

Hi @dharman,

This is fixed in Rhino 8 SR11 that will be released today.

Please update Rhino tomorrow to see the changes.

oh i misunderstood. I thought you were saying it had been fixed in 8.8.11.
Unfortunately i will need to wait for out IT department to approve a new version before i can use it, but that’s my problem not yours. Thanks!

@kike If I see correctly what this is about, then it should be fixed that searching with a wildcard for “continuous” should return the correct line type.

I am on 8 SR 23 and it’s not working:

Am I missing something? Is this a regression?

If I just list all the line types then Continuous is there, but in brackets!?

Hi @seltzdesign,

“(Continuous)” linetype is a special linetype that is always available and its name is translated when Rhino runs in Spanish, French or any other language supported on the UI.

In order to allow you reference this Linetype in a way that works on any language and does not collide with an existing Linetype in the document, this special linetype is called “(Continuous)”.

The parenthesis are on purpose because is not possible to name a Linetype like this.

Same approach is used for the default material that is called “(Default Material)” on any language.

This way you can run a .gh file authored on any language on a Rhino that has its UI on any other language without any conflict.

I see, thanks for explaining.

Does that mean the other defaults like “Dashed” or “Dots” would break on a machine having GH set to another language?
