Wow, seems like there is a magic bug happening in Rhino 8.

I think this was reported and then apparently fixed in R8.7, which has just been released.

Have you updated to 8.7?

Bug report: _ExtendSrf

same happening here… i have noticed it before but didn’t understand when this happens… It happens after an unknown amount… not always the same… if you extend perhaps 5 times 0.1 you can extend in 0.5… however if you type 0.5mm to extend in one time it will fail… you select the edge you want to extend and after that X point of error it seems to forget that edge and pick any other “edge”… i mean… it extends in any other edge this is happening in some versions before but i didn’t realize it was …

No I have not. funny, my RH8 doesn’t notify me of a new update, yet it only checked for one about four weeks ago. Is there a way to increase the version check frequency?

@David53 Marked your post as solution hoping it has solved it

Edit: after trying the “check now” button/link, I realized I can not click anywhere in the “Updates and Statistics” panel. Maybe the bug was the “Updates and Statistics” module all along…

Hi Roger -

Not even the “Enable Updates and Usage Statistics” option?

@wim

Not even the “Enable Updates and Usage Statistics” option?

I thought “Check Now” was supposed to work no matter whether “Enable Updates and …” was checked or not?

Hello @Wim,

no it’s all greyed-out. Is that because I am not running this user with admin-privileges? Should not make a difference in simply just checking.
