The following program crashes when compiling and rendering CGCAL

[siegeld]

It works fine under simple "Compile". Any obvious reason for this?

levels=5;
side=5;

for (h=[1 : levels]) {
for (i = [1 : side]) {
for (j = [1 : side]) {
if ((h == 1) || (i == 1 || j == 1 || i == side || j == side)) {
translate([i_5, j_5, h*5]) {
sphere(r=3, center=false, $fn=50);
}
}
}
}
}

for (h=[1 : 12]) {
translate([h+1.5, 5, 20+(levels+h-1)]) {
cube([3, 20, 2]);
}
}

translate([30,0,0]) { mirror([1,0,0]) {
for (h=[1 : 12]) {
translate([h+1.5, 5, 20+(levels+h-1)]) {
cube([3, 20, 2]);
}
}
}}

Thanks for the bug report.

I have run this on a sever with a lot of RAM and it seems to run OK, although I get this warning:

  WARNING: CGAL Evaluator: Root node didn't fit into cache

This comes from Cache.h which is essentially copied from QT. See here:

My guess is that this code might hitting some kind of memory limit on your machine. How much RAM do you have?

$fn=50 for the sphere()s might be the culprit.... With $fn=5 it works ok for me. I'm not sure what level of $fn you need for your application.... perhaps more insight and suggestions could be found on the mailing list.

Are you running under linux or windows? Also, are you using the 64 bit or 32 bit version? I crash under windows w/32 bit.

Does anyone know if there are 64 bit binaries for windows, by the way - I could try that.

Duplicated by #342. Keeping that one as it has more activity.
