Hi Everyone, I seem to have also bumped into the zoom extents issue. My model had been fine - so I’m not sure when it went off the rails. I’ve read through the other threads on this topic and have tried the following: delete all txt from the model… Select the relevant parts and try to delete ob…

[image] Eneroth View Memory Extensions [Eneroth View Memory] After several requests I’ve now finally made a plugin that can export and import scenes. The plugin handles camera position, hidden layers, section cuts, style, fog, shadow settings, geo location and ax…

John has given you a good answer about transferring the scenes. It would be valuable to the community to know whether this is another example of issues seen before (most likely) or something new. If you upload the model, I’ll take a look. BTW, so far nobody has been able to find the cause of this…

Are there any other threads about this zoom extents bug? Any models showing the issue? I was asked a few times to make a plugin for exporting and importing scenes specifically for the copy-to-fresh-model thing but ironically never had to do that myself. I even forgot about that use case when first p…

There are a few threads on the topic… It is believed to be related to text labels… I’m leaning toward some sort of file corruption in that area since cut/paste to a new model picks up the good info and leaves the bad behind… (it seems) Zoom Extents model I did do some testing - deleting txt, sel…

Wait! I think I’ve gotten a similar error when moving around vertices of a face having a 2D text added to it. I’ve downloaded your model and it seems to be the same problem :smiley: . If you run this code you’ll see that one text is at the position NaN, NaN, NaN. Sketchup.active_model.active_entit…

Yes, @eneroth3 is correct: this is another example of the singular text bug. Even if the cause isn’t yet known, I agree it would be a simple and valuable addition to the validity check since there is no way to determine where the errant Text was meant to go.

Looks like you found the fix! The label you found only exists once in the model. After “cleaning” it. My original label is still there… So something along the way likely duplicated it but didn’t pick up the coordinates leaving the orphan stranded. Thank you for creating such a simple and elegan…

One extension I use quite a bit is: Cleanup3 - I wonder if an extension could be creating this type of issue? I do not know the internals as you guys do… but its a thought. Agreed - a validity check during “save” would do a world of good for those who have been tripped up by this. thanks again.

[image] bperkins: I wonder if an extension could be creating this type of issue? I’ve accidentally managed to create it independently of using an extension. If you attach a Text object to any SU geometry - edge, component, face, etc - then delete the attachment object, the Text object can los…

[image] bperkins: I wonder if an extension could be creating this type of issue? I noticed the issue with one of my extensions in an early phase of development and added the hack shown above to purge the invalid texts. This was fixed before the extension was published but it’s not unlikely ot…
