Random TextDots with Rhino 8

With Rhino 8, I’m getting random text dots inserted in my Rhino session on occasion with my RhinoCommon c# plugin. The best I can tell they are generated either with the call to Mesh.Split or Mesh.GetBoundingBox. I run the same code in Rhino 7 and the text dots do not appear.

A co-worker independently concluded they come from Mesh.Split (I’m splitting a collection of meshes with another single face mesh). The appearance of the text dots is not consistent, and my efforts to reproduce in a simplified script have not yet been successful. This is not a show stopper, but it is a head scratcher.

I’ve had the same problem.

In my case the dots must have been created because of an invalid mesh.

It’s interesting that this happens at the point the trim is done. I don’t think the Annotation/TextDots should be added to the Rhino document when the intersections are done in my code. Maybe the meshes are added to the document later, and maybe not, but at this point in the code I am not adding anything to the document.

@dale @stevebaer Is there maybe some debugging code that got left in some mesh trimming functions? Or maybe this is intentional, but the creation of the text dots should be done at a different place?

@bradlcampbell -

I believe this is intentional. Can you provide us a way of reproducing this?

Thanks,

Hi Dale, have you looked at my example in the linked topic?

Of course not - I’m way too lazy to scroll up.

I’ll have a look.

Thanks,
