script progress feedback to the Command Console ?

[Goswin]

Hi,
I am running a script that does thousands of BREP intersections, obviously it is slow.
so i use rs.StatusbarMessage to give me feedback about the progress.
this works fine for the first 15 seconds. Then Rhino turns to "not responding" , no more progress feedback, it seems to be crashing.
After a minute or two however my script finishes successfully.
Is there a way to avoid this interface freeze?

Or alternatively is there an easy way to print the progress feedback to the standard windows command console instead? So that I can estimate how long it will take to finish.

Hi Goswin,
I probably need to adjust the script to include a Wait call so the message pump can update. Try this; add Rhino.RhinoApp.Wait() to your script right after calling StatusBarMessage to see if that clears things up

Python Code:

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import Rhino
 
....
    rs.StatusBarMessage( my_message )
    Rhino.RhinoApp.Wait()

Thanks Steve, this works .
