rcm mapping

[neil ryan]

hi
i can't seem to access the mapping widget (the thingy that adjusts postioning etc of the map on the geometry) in rcm rhino, i had brazil demo installed and i uninstalled it, have i broken the rcm, is this a rhino forum question or is it a vray problem, anyone have the same problem. this widget was working up until recently. anyone have any suggestion as to how i can fix this.

Best you deinstall VfR and install it again. RCM will be installed per VfR.

Yes it is best to uninstall and reinstall VfR. I still need to speak with them about having our plugins coexist using RCM. Its difficult since RCM is still under development. They should "technically" play well together - but if your experiancing these problems they must not be.

i've noticed that my RCM crashes now on boot up, but in your defense im running SR-4 which is compliant to some other plugins I am using that are not currently SR-5 compliant. lol what a mess...

Are you sure its RCM causing the crash? If your basing that on the RCM crash dump message box- it may not actually be related to RCM. That crash dump dialog will pop up whenever a crash of any kind happens in Rhino while RCM is loaded. The message box just means that RCM is collecting information at the time of the crash and forming a dump file from it. So its possible the crash could be V-Ray for Rhino related, or some other plugin crashing, or it could be RCM as well. Let me know if I can be of any help tracking this down.

this is the message box i recieve.



Rhino 3.0 CVRayForRhinoPlugIn::OnLoadPlugIn


Failed to read registry for RCM status -- RCM mapping channels will be unavailable.


to me it appears that RCM is not installed, or that would be my guess. I will reinstall and I would bet that fixes the problem.

Is everything ok at this time? Did you recently uninstall or install any other plugins?
