Is this running on Parallels or Bootcamp?

Nope, not this time

[JDHill]

Well, no easy answers today. I'll let you know when I figure something out.

[bjorn.syse]

Cool, superb work btw!

[osuire]

Superb work indeed.
And I knew that making the extrusion objects work was not such a big one to chew

Adding this to the pile today:



The plugin wouldn't load when I got to work today. However, it solved with a reinstall of the plugin.

Hmm. I wonder if there could be an installer problem here; that might explain both issues. Could you try doing a full clean install, as in:

1. use add/remove programs to remove any instance of the plugin which appears
2. start up Rhino and tell it never to load the missing plugin again
3. reboot the machine
4. reinstall the 2.5.11 plugin

I would be curious if this affects the strange issues you have reported so far.

hi,

No, I'm sorry, the scenario is the same as before. Material doesn't update, until I launch the Fire window. I should say though, that I have changed my default scene to stage1 in the options, just so you know. And that setting lived through the re-install also.

Well, thanks for letting me know anyway, I'm still theorizing as to what might be causing this.

[bjorn.syse]

Hi again!

Another small glitch. It seems to me that changing settings in a displacement layer doesn't automatically update the fire window. I have to uncheck and re-check the checkmark for the displacement layer to apply the changes.

[JDHill]

Confirmed, thanks.

And also, while I'm at it. I used to be able to see what material a piece of geometry had just by selecting it. Then the corresponding material would get selected in the Materials tab in the Scene manager, but I don't see that happening now?

I think I found something as well:
Just opened an old "pack'n'go" file from a project (with gatherfilesandmakepathrelative) and it doesn't find the textures even though they are in a folder "textures" which is in the same folder as the rhino file. what can be the cause for this?

[JDHill]

@Bjorn: please see Options > Auto-select Materials.

@kami: did you open the file using File > Open, so that Windows showed you the Open File dialog? Believe it or not, that can make a difference. There are lots of other possibilities though, and I would need you to send me a file in order to give you any conclusive answer. Just delete all geometry and all but one material from the file and re-save it. Then delete all textures from /textures besides those used by the remaining material. Given the file and /textures folder, I should be able to tell you what's happening.

[bjorn.syse]

@Bjorn: please see Options > Auto-select Materials.

There it is, thanks!

[kami]

It really makes a difference!
If I use the open dialog instead of double clicking the file it works fine. Interesting to know! So I guess you don't need the file anymore
