Trouble with uc.disable_auto_display_refresh()

[roehligas]

Hi,

I encounter trouble with the uc.disable_auto_display_refresh() function on several occasions.

After creating for example beams with disabled auto display and deleting them, there are points from those elements that can't be clicked or removed. To remove them, one needs to restart Cadwork.

Is this a known issue?

If u make use of the ...auto_display_refresh, you are responsible for element regeneration.

uc.disable_auto_display_refresh()

element_map_by_type = defaultdict(list)
move_distance_in_x_direction = 0.0
for i in range(100):
    beam_element_id = ec.create_square_beam_vectors(200, 1500, cadwork.point_3d(move_distance_in_x_direction, 0, 0), 
                                  cadwork.point_3d(0, 0, 1),
                                  cadwork.point_3d(0, 1, 0))
    panel_element_id = ec.create_rectangular_panel_vectors(200, 15, 1500, cadwork.point_3d(move_distance_in_x_direction, -107.5, 0), 
                                  cadwork.point_3d(0, 0, 1),
                                  cadwork.point_3d(0, 1, 0))
    
    element_map_by_type['beam'].append(beam_element_id)
    element_map_by_type['panel'].append(panel_element_id)

    print(f"Created beam element with id: {beam_element_id}")
    print(f"Created panel element with id: {panel_element_id}")

    move_distance_in_x_direction += 250.0

ec.move_element(element_map_by_type['beam'], cadwork.point_3d(1200.0, 0, 300))
uc.enable_auto_display_refresh()

# Comment out this line to regenerate the elements
# ec.recreate_elements(element_map_by_type['beam'] + element_map_by_type['panel'])

I you make use of the ...auto_display_refresh , you are responsible of the element recreation.
with recreate_elements the issue does not appear.
