Crash

Not sure when in the last year that build was made, but using the latest source code from github I don't get that crash, so it must already be fixed.

Interesting.. I thought I was on the newest build. I will have to reinstall and try again. Thanks optigon!

There hasn't been a new build available for a year now. It might be fixed in the source but not in any releases.

I can tell you that the model you linked to has some geometry problems, but I think you already know that.

It may help if you select the whole model, then Face > Hole RMB; that will close all the holes. After that, Separate and Weld and see if it goes better.

Oh yeah, I can definitely work around the issue. In fact, I had already worked around it. lol.

Upon further inspection of my Wings, apparently I am using version 1.4.15.g5bfb ... I honestly don't remember installing a snapshot version, but, there you have it.

Thanks optigon.

Searching by that wings3d version I found this information below at http://www.serppages.com/site/www.wings3d.com:

As it is cashed information, it seems it was available in the official site - before all the current changes - the referenced page doesn't exists.

Anyway, it was a snapshot previous to Wings 1.4.1.

That explains why it's fixed now

Thanks Micheus!
