Handle null values when getting object's names from field about blendergis HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi,

When Separate objects option is checking it's possible to choose a field as object's name. Is that the option you search for ?

from blendergis.

Thanks for replying domlysz, yeah that was the first thing I tried, However it gave a large error message. Would it help if I replicate the error?

Also while I'm here, my .shp import is missing about 75% of the buildings when using extrude with a height attribute but 100% without extrusion. Do you know how I can improve or troubleshoot that?

from blendergis.

Can you attach the file for test it?

from blendergis.

Sure thing. Its the city of providence. If I can help please let me know at [email protected]

I must admit shp importer isn't very well optimized right now, especially extrusion option is terribly slow, separate object option seems also to have a memory leak. I can't process your file with these options because it's too large but I can process a subset of it, and naming the object according to a field work for me. However, in your shp most buildings have no name (null value in the field name) and this case isn't really handle in the code so that must be why you have an error message.

I'm sorry that the tool is not really suitable for your case. I'will try to improve it in the next weeks.

Thanks for your time with my files, I really appreciate it. It's relieving to know that it is currently slow when processing, I was waiting about 20 minutes each time and some options demanded 700% cpu....

I think this plugin is hugely important to many Blender users. I mean if you have a shapefile it helps to
skip some nightmarish ArcGIS work! If there's anything I can do to help improve it please let me know.

fix in latest commit 695146d

null name values are now better handle.

fix also a bug when using separate objects along with extrusion option and a shapefile that contains mutipart geometry (I think it's the bug you encounter as described in your second message, the script stop before finished and you got only a subset of building)

from blendergis.

Wow! Nice work. Where you able to import and extrude the shapefile of PVD I attached above?

from blendergis.

more or less !
