Use AcDb3dSolid::createLoftedSolid without error messaging

[kubitMarco]

Hi all,

sometimes the function createLoftedsolid fails by different reasons for instance self-intersecting of the profiles. The return is Acad::eGeneralModelingFailure then. No problem then I draw it by another way. Bothering me that error messages are written to the command line and confuse the user.

Therefore two questions:

1. Is there an easy possibility to prevent the error message in the command line?

2. Could I check the success of createLoftedSolid before calling? I 've already tried the function AcDbLoftOptions::checkLoftCurves, but it seems the function doesn't check the combination of input curves. Though the profiles are self-intersecting the function returns Acad::eOk.

I know very special questions, but maybe somebody knows it.

Regards,

Marco

Hi Marco,

Sorry, there is no function provided by the API to tell in advance if the lofting or any other solid operation will succeed with given profiles.

Also there is no easy way to prevent the eGeneralModelingFailure from appearing in the command line. Temporarily replacing the host application services to suppress message can work but you will need to test if it works under all conditions.
