[fixed] bug with select-by-short-edges

[rv3]

I'm having issues with Select-By-Short-Edges on a particular file. It works in other files, so something in this one seems to be tickling the bug. Every time I try to do the command, it pops up the "Length tolerance" dialog box and then immediately pops up another box that says there was an "Internal Error", gives a pathname to a crash dump (attached) and tells me to restart Wings3d.

I'm running 2.1.7 development release on a macosx system 10.13.5.

Sight! Thanks for report it.

That was a coincidence.
By now, just be certified there is no selection active (space bar) before you invoke the command.

Making sure there's nothing selected is just a temporary workaround, right? I believe the way it worked under Wings v1.x was that a selection limited the result set to just what was in the selection.

It's fixed. You are going to find the patch for it in a pinned topic in this session: Fixes for v2.1.7 (Patches)

You should be able to select the short edges in the entire scene - without any selection - or only the ones present in a previous selected area.

I think that was how it should to work since the code was already ready for that.

Thanks, much appreciated.
