Rhino8 SR13 constantly crashing

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Hi,

My rhino8 is constantly crashing. I’m not sure what it is but I sent some crash reports to McNeel. Can you look into these?

I had instant crashes with:

  • Importing blocks via a toolbar button (insert command)
    image
    image987×532 11 KB
  • Importing via alias Insert command marco (_-Insert F=Y L=L A=A B B _Pause 1)
  • Replaceblock then picking a block out of the BlockDefinitionList

I’m losing my mind over this problem.

A quick test here did not crash. Is there a small file you can provide? Are there materials in the Linked file?

Hi @Japhy,

I’m not using any materials.

I don’t think its the linked file that is the problem but rather the _Insert command it self.

Just had it crash again, only think that I did was insert macro via alias.
This opens a file explorer.

The crashes are so random, I really cant think of a reason that its crashing at that specific moment.
I’m also not getting the crash report option, so I cant sent you something

Hi @dale,

Could I get a download link to a previous version of Rhino 8? 8SR12 would be fine, the crashes are since the new update I think.

I havent updated tot 8SR13 Release Candidate 2 that was released this morning. Not sure is that would help?

I cant work like this for another day (already had 2 crashes since 8 am). :face_with_head_bandage:

Hi Martijn -

Hi @dale @Japhy ,

I’ve isolated the issue:

Rhino8 crashes when a preview bitmap is displayed in an Eto dialog, while BlockEdit mode is active.
As my collegue @Martijn reported, the same effect might be occurring when displaying the preview in the Insert dialog

steps to reproduce:

  1. open a file with two blocks
    crash_sr13_isolated.3dm (47.1 KB)

  2. double click 1 of the blocks to open BlockEdit mode

  3. run the script below

#! python3
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import scriptcontext as sc
import Rhino
import System
from time import sleep

import Eto.Forms as forms

class MyDialog(forms.Dialog[bool]):

    def __init__(self, block_name):
        super().__init__()

        self.m_image_view = forms.ImageView()
        self.m_image_view.Image = None

        # get instanceDefinition preview bitmap and load in imageview
        idef        = sc.doc.InstanceDefinitions.Find(block_name, True)
        bitmap      = idef.CreatePreviewBitmap(Rhino.Display.DefinedViewportProjection.Top , System.Drawing.Size(200,150))
        self.m_image_view.Image = Rhino.UI.EtoExtensions.ToEto(bitmap)


        # Create the default button
        self.DefaultButton = forms.Button()
        self.DefaultButton.Text = 'OK'
        self.DefaultButton.Click += self.OnOKButtonClick

        layout = forms.DynamicLayout()

        layout.AddRow(self.m_image_view)
        layout.AddRow(self.DefaultButton)

        self.Content = layout

    def OnOKButtonClick(self, sender, e):
        self.Close(True)


def main():

    # open a dialog for each block in model until 'exit' cross is pressed
    for i,block_name in enumerate(rs.BlockNames()):
        Rhino.RhinoApp.WriteLine(block_name)
        dialog = MyDialog(block_name)
        rc =  dialog.ShowModal(Rhino.UI.RhinoEtoApp.MainWindow)
        if not rc:
            return 
    print('completed')
    

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
