Hi

I got the same problem but once i place a bounding box in. It will not crash but it generates another problem

It just states "Errors during export, check the dump file"

I was expecting to see the dump file in the folder it should export to but it was not there.

I check the script window and there is a line saying "Error could not save file"

Please help.
