debug problem

[chintugavali]

when i try to debug this program
in the log file i am getting this error
"An attempt was made to initialise an object in the null part"

i think problem lies in the function "formSection"

Where in the code does it write that message to the log file?

defGeomSecTemp.Points.push_back(Section1.Points[j]);

How do you know how many elements Points contains?

BTW, since this is C++, not C, you don't need to say "struct" every time you declare a struct variable... You can just say:

Section defGeomSecTemp;
