.erase! bug ? or is it me...

[Didier Bur]

Hi,

I'm getting bug splat doing that:

def my_function
   Sketchup.active_model.start_operation
   p1=Geom;;Point3d.new(0,0,0)
   p1=Geom;;Point3d.new(100,100,100)
   e=Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_line(p1,p2)
   g=Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_group(e)
   g.erase! if g.valid? #ALWAYS CAUSES A BUG SPLAT
   Sketchup.active_model.commit_operation
end

When NO start/commit instructions are done, no bug splat.

Workaround:

def my_function
   Sketchup.active_model.start_operation
   p1=Geom;;Point3d.new(0,0,0)
   p1=Geom;;Point3d.new(100,100,100)
   e=Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_line(p1,p2)
   g=Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_group(e)
   UI.start_timer(0,false) { g.erase! if g.valid? }
   Sketchup.active_model.commit_operation
end

No more bug splat but the start_timer seems to do itself a 'commit' so the function is no more one-click undo-able.

Anyone has a better solution to avoid bug splats within star/commit ?
Help greatly appreciated !!!

have you tried using:

Sketchup.active_model.entities.erase_entities(array_of_entities)

I think I have got bug splats from using erase! before but when I tried the using the above code, it worked fine.

I'm having the same problem with SU bugsplatting when trying to delete a valid entity. Doesn't matter what delete operation I do. I keep bugsplatting.

If I remove the start_operation line it doesn't bugsplat while running. But seem to terminate early. And when I afterwards do a Revert or try to make a new model SU will bugsplat.

Thanks Whaat, it seems to works here too, even with a single element array.
Fingers crossed !
