Rhino files

[Tim Martinez]

I have a customer that is importing a large Rhino file and is getting error about Exceeding the number of Boundary points. Does anyone know if that means it is not import a surface?

Tim,

Just a guess, but you might try having him open up the "Maximum Surface Deviation" value on the Config/Tolerances page.

It might be a physically large model and having the default MSD might be causing too many segments to be made on the trimmed surface boundary.

Is he using X6 or X7? The limit was increased in the past couple years (X6 I think) when we changed the variable type that holds that point count.

 

if that still doesn't work, feel free to send it to me so that I can debug it and let you know for sure.

I've seen this before. Trying one of the two below has gotten me past it.

 

1) Select all surfaces in Rhino and use the shrink trimmed surfaces command. Resave.

 

or

 

2) Export into an .iges format.

 

Hope this helps
