Bug crash can't access work

[voltage3d]

I was live streaming this amazing program and I found a few glitches . The first one only required a restart to by pass, but the second glitch shut it all down the program crashed and I received the message "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading Layerling.com (see console for more information). If you go to 37min you see the first glitch and then at 1hour 04 minutes you see the one that has completely shut me out. You can see it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgsGycdQazY

Hi @voltage3d, thanks a lot for the stream and for testing Layerling live!
just watched your stream and tracked down both issues:

1. The Align glitch around 37:00: The bounding box calculation for rotated shapes caused unwanted position shifts during alignment. We are reviewing and fixing the orientation handling in the align tool.
2. The "Could not save design shapes" and fatal reload crash at 1:04:00:
   • As your model grew complex, the IndexedDB autosave hit a transaction failure while saving the full geometry and undo history into the local browser storage.
   • When you opened Layerling in a second tab, it tried to restore the partially saved project state during startup, which triggered an unhandled client exception in React and locked you out on reload.
     To prevent this from ever locking you (or anyone) out again, I'm implementing a safe mode recovery screen / error boundary: if a corrupted project ever fails to render on load, Layerling will now safely catch it, offer you to download an emergency backup file, and let you return directly to the dashboard or a clean workspace instead of showing the blank crash page.
     If you still have the browser open or need help recovering the design file from your browser's IndexedDB/storage, let me know!

@voltage3d, one addition to my reply above: the stream shows what happened on screen, but not what went wrong inside the browser, so the cause I named for the crash is my best reading of the video, not yet confirmed. Two things would let me pin it down:

1. The text from the browser console: press F12, open the Console tab, reload layerling.com, and copy the red lines (a screenshot is fine too).
2. Your design: open https://layerling.com/ with nothing after the address - that starts on the overview instead of the broken design - and click Back up all. It saves all your designs in one .lyl file; attach it here (or send it to me if you'd rather not post it).

What is already fixed for the next version: a crash no longer leaves you on the blank "Application error" page. A window shows the error and lets you save the design as last stored in the browser, go back to the overview, or start a new design.

And thank you again for showing layerling on your stream!

@voltage3d, about the Align glitch at 37:00: I found a mismatch that would look like it - the Align handles stood at the box round each part's own turned box, while the parts moved to the box round what is actually drawn, so with a turned or tipped part they seemed to jump somewhere else than shown. That is fixed in 1.52.0. If you still see it, tell me which shapes were turned and which handle you clicked, and I'll look again.

I watched part of your video. I released a video yesterday showing how to make a pencil cup, and you are out there making really cool stuff. I am humbled. Nice work!

[voltage3d]

First off thank you for the kind words, The tool you have made is going to open up worlds for a lot of people. I am deeply grateful for Layerling, it does what I only dreamed TinkerCad could do, and you are adding some wonderful features that I never thought about and enjoy. The simple split function has allowed me to carve up previous works and get them into action far faster than before, the align functions "face to face" and "flush" were a welcomed surprise that again speed things up. The work flow of the program is very rewarding for someone like me. A lot of people see Blender, Fusion and the other big name design programs Making fantastic things, but when they leap in people tend to get crushed by a brutal learning curve. For me personally TinkerCad and now Layerling are making possible what Blender and the like could not. As long as you keep this program is out there making what I do possible I will be promoting it. If you ever want to use some of my footage or a collaboration project to help promote your work, please let me know and I'll get you what you need. Thank you BTW for the rapid response regarding the bugs I found. I have fired up Layerling again to find everything fully functional and I will continue my designs tonight 9:30pm-11:30pm(sometime longer). Thank you again!

Thank you, Colin - that's very kind of you, and great to hear everything works again!

About your offer: I'm glad to link videos in the video list of layerling's guide (Videos), especially ones that explain something - an introduction, a feature shown step by step, or a project built from start to finish. The live streams are nice to watch on the side, but they are long and not much use for learning layerling, so I'd rather not list those. If you ever make a shorter tutorial-style video, send me the link and I'll add it to the list.

[voltage3d]

Absolutely, I was just thinking what kind of tutorial would be a good introduction to your Program. When I work one up you will be the first to know. Cheers! Colin Smith(Voltage3D) Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) secure email.

perhaps all the things that tinkercad is not able to do would be good one :-)
