chunk.importShapes results in crash

[ferdywallinx]

When i try to load a shapefile or KML through the following code:

app = PhotoScan.Application()
doc = PhotoScan.app.document
chunk=doc.chunks[0]  #this is a chunk with an orthomosaic, sparse point cloud, mesh and cameras
chunk.importShapes(path="pathtoshapefile.shp",replace=False,boundary=PhotoScan.Shape.OuterBoundary)

then the system crashes. Since I saw nothing like this issue on the forum i would like to know if anyone succesfully loaded a shapefile through python. Loading the shapefile works when i do it manually.

Hello ferdywallinx,

Have you submitted the crash report? And can the issue be reproduced using the import operation for the same shape file via GUI?

Hi Alexey,

yes I have submitted some crash reports. The issue does not occur when loading a shapefile via a GUI. We found the workaround in the end which was already having a chunk with a manually loaded shapefile and then we can overwrite the shapefile through python API without crashing.

Hello ferdywallinx,

Thank you for additional information. This issue will be fixed in the version 1.3.
