After selecting an object the command window opens
but it does not allow the Min value to be modified.
trying with the default values: the command run until it gives up at 2%. that happens on a mesh
5)trying it on a simple NURBS object simply crushed rhino.
I’m told that the command does work on Windows, but that it’s buggy and tends to fail.
Having a good thickness analyses can be crucial when the goal is 3D printing.
Especially for organic forms jewellery where one has to try and minimise the volume in order to save on gold costs [@ nearly 50$/gram that’s really important]
PS. see also in here: Is there a way to analyse a [dens] mesh for 3D printing compatibility?
Is this freezing only on one object in a file, or generally?
It’s not a command I’ve ever used but if I can narrow it down to a specific file or situation, I can get a defect report filed to fix it.
In my little test cases here, it seems to work fine.
the mesh takes about 20 -30 second to analyse in a different software [with my same old MBP]. so this mesh is not the problem here AFAICT
thanks a lot

Here is a simple test mesh
A scan of a statue that was kindly shared on this Forum a couple of years ago. Nymph_Preparing_For_The_Bath.3dm.zip (14.4 MB)
on my machine.
it won’t let me adjust the values.
then it tries for a few minuets and either crush or just gives up
in command history I can see it managed to do 30%…
[better then then my bigger files where it only managed 2%]
Thank you John
I’d just would like to again emphasise that this functionality is crucial for before sending an organic shaped jewellery object to print! too thin areas and the gold cast is lost to costly refinement.
thicker than what is necessary result in expensive extra weight in gold.
*by the way I had a look at the youtrack listing, and I’m surprise it took so long to analyse in Windows, in my other software I got this model analysed in 17 seconds. [using a 2013 MBP] so it would appear the tool is perhaps in want of some tuning/optimisation in addition to fixing it on the Mac.
Depending on your Mac, there are some faster than others.
My little 13" MBP only has an Intel chip on it so I don’t expect it to be fast.
Rhino uses the “analysis mesh” for this tool.
Your source mesh is damaged.
Run the MeshRepair command on it and you’ll see the problems.
When I tested your file in Windows, I eliminated the serious problems with the mesh first.
We’ll see what the developer has to say when he comes up for air.
The mesh is not mine, rather a scan of a classic statue shared on this form in the past. it was posted as an example file here as it was, without me modifying it.
in case it comes helpful, I Quadremeshed a cleaned version nymth_quadremeshed.OBJ.zip (14.4 MB)
Thanks a lot
