Hi @Pitti,

Can you provide me a script and a model that repeats this?

Sure!
but the implicite answer is that there is no way to remove that warning?
The resulting skp file works fine.

Hi @Pitti,

Are you scripting the export command by running _-Export...?

Yes, this is what I am doing:

    rs.ObjectsByType(4096,True)
    exportSKP = "!_-Export _SaveTextures=_Yes " +  "\"" + blocksExportName +  "\"" + blocksExpString + "_EnterEnd _Delete"
    rs.Command(exportSKP)

I don’t need to solve the meshing problems, I need to get rid of that warning, because the script needs to continue…
this is the test file:

block fore Dale.3dm (10.4 MB)

thanks @Tim, so no solution at the moment?

Does anybody have another option for exporting blocks preserving instances?

As I recall you can make your geometry large and then scale the block instance to get the right size. It’s the geometry that needs to be larger, the scaling transform (to make it smaller) works ok with SketchUp. That should prevent the warning from happening. The fix I made above was just to write the warning to the command line instead of popping up the message box.

Thanks for the suggestion, i will try that.
But my hope is to find this warning Written to command line instead of message box in the next rc :stuck_out_tongue:

So it’s fixed in rhino 7?
