Rhino 6 ran out of memory
errorrhino

When I attempt to open the file, rhino prompts the message:
A memory allocation failed and Rhino will close.
Rhino attempted to save the current model on your desktop in
*RHINO_EMERGENCY_SAVE.3dm *
*This file may be damaged and should be used as a last resort. *
Restart your computer.

I’ve tried opening the emergency save, but the problem persists.

I’ve tried the different solutions presented in this thread, but none of them seem to work. Windows found no errors in my computer’s memory and the only plugin I have is vray and attempts to update both rhino and vray proved unfruitful.

The file was working just yesterday, and I have not installed anything since then.
Hopefully, someone has a solution.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Anders -

Can you post or upload the original file so that we can check if this issue is system-related or if there’s something going on with that file?

Hi Wim,

After performing a clean install of rhino6 the problem is gone. I’m not sure what caused it since I got the error on certain files while others worked as usual. So it was not one specific file.

I’ll report back if I get the error again.
Thanks for your reply.
