Well, I thought I would try and use VC pro for some solid modeling as trying to build surfaces in VC is a bit of a joke :mad:

Anyway, nothing but problems. I could not understand the continuous error/violation popups and thought it may be me and I had got some input that is 8 decimal places out of position :rolleyes: so I went back to basics.

I created a circle 100 dia, then a cylinder primitive PI*100 long / 20 dia.
Attempted to curve bend the cylinder around the circle and given error "Access violation"(pic1)
I reduced the cylinder to 10 dia, attempted again and got error "Unexpected system exception"(pic02)
I attempted to reduce the cylinder in dia again and VC pro crashed(pic03)

This is very tiresome.:mad:

Repeats here as well. Seems related to the profile being a closed circle, perhaps periodic is the issue. Closed spline ok, arc 359 degree arc ok. Will need to report to Spatial.

If it was a problem with the closed circle profile then the same error would show when a elongated block was used instead of the cylinder, which it does not.

I experience repeatable crashes of VCP when i try to split a joined surfaces with a tangent curve running through each surface. I will post the file today, I hope.

(But, it is definitely repeatable. Enough that now it's almost ingrained in my soul to never do that again when i have more than one file open and worked without manual saves. Save, and save often, hehehe (not just applies to VCP, but to doing just about anything on a computer, but for me, more with win than Linux....)
