Patching a ruled surface causes massive ram usage resulting in crash.

[Anonymous]

I was experimenting with ruled surfaces and when I attempted to patch the open end it caused the typical black menu bar, but I noticed that the system burned through 16 GB of ram and was dumped 20GB of data to the hard drive before Fusion crashed. I re-ran the patch and the same result occurred. I rebooted and reloaded Fusion with the same result. Here is the model that I was patching the open face and the crash occurred. Am I doing something wrong or is this an unintended bug? Thanks

Create offset of original surface and stitched to solid did not crash here.

Thanks for the reply. That was an excellent work around. The main reason that I posted this issue wasn't that I was looking for a solution. I found a situation where a tool didn't give an error that said, "the requested action cannot be completed" but instead consumed all 16 gigs of ram and over 20 gigs of memory before causing a crash. I didn't know any other way to report a bug.

Hi Spdyiam,

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue.  I have been able to reproduce and will ensure this gets filed as  bug for the appropriate team at Autodesk.
