Why am I getting this err -Could not complete the Split Extrusion command because of a program error

To recreate this error, draw 2 simple shapes in Illustrator CS6, copy and paste them together as a Shape layer in Photoshop CS6.
Then go to 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Path. I just accept the defaults.
Then go to 3D > Split Extrusion.
The error is thrown at this point. No matter what I do, I can't get it to work.
I've tried rasterizing the shape, but then I get a different error. When I select 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Layer, I get the error: "Could not complete the New 3D Extruions from Selected Layer command because the path is too complex." This is ridiculous. I can't get the 3D to work at all.
Is Photoshop just this buggy or am I trying to do something that should not be possible? If so, the error message certainly should be more helpful than what I'm seeing.

You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

  • Could not complete the Refine Edge command because of a program error.

    This is kind of me being a smart ***… but, I’ve found an Error with the new refine edge. And I’ve solved the problem:
    If you check “remember settings” and refine a selection with output set to “New Layer with Layer Mask” and then try and refine another selection when you have an adjustment layer selected, the “New Layer with Layer Mask” is greyed out, but unless you change the output setting to something not greyed out, you get the error "Could not complete the Refine Edge command because of a program error.”.
    I’m sure there’s a better place I could have posted this and all that, but there you have it.
    Oh, and the solution is to just change the “Output to” to something not greyed out.

    Without system information and details on what exactly you are trying to do like what channel/ mask/ slection you are trying to refine in what specific image nobody can really say anything. Such errors are always specific. It would be best if you provided a screenshot of the selection in the image.

  • "Could not complete the Blending Options Command because of a program error"

    I'm using CS5, PhotoShop 12.04 x64. I received this error message this morning when I tried to use the blending options. My software is in another state, so reloading is not an option right now. Can anyone suggest another way to address this problem?

  • Photoshop Elements 5 "Could not complete the Photomerge Panorama command because of a disk error"

    It was working fine just yesterday! And only the photomerge is affected, the rest of the program works great...I turned off my computer after I receieved the error message and ran a disk check, but it found nothing wrong with my hard drive. So what gives? Do I need to reinstall? Is there some sort of update I need to install to make it compatable with Windows 7? (There was a similar update a few years back for Windows Vista users)
    True, I mostly use CS5 now, but I still keep Elements 5 around because being able to manually place pictures into a panorama and retry rather than having Photoshop spit out two separate pano's stacked on top of each other is MUCH more convienient.

    Well cn you try running the program in admin mode. Go to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 5
    There find PhotoshopElementsEditor file and right click on it, and select "Run as Administrator".
    See if it works.

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • "Could not complete the render video command because of program error?"

    Hello,
    Does anyone know what to do to fix this problem?
    When I go to File>export>video render> then I click for it to render, up
    pops this window saying "Could not complete the render video command
    because of a program error." I would appreciate any and all work around
    ideas.

    Thank you so much for your reply. My PC does have the latest quick time version.I went into QT Preferences and under advance, I checked "Enable encoding using legacy codecs" but this change didn't help. Is that the one you were talking about?. Where do I find "GDI-only mode without hardware acceleration" ? The weird part is no matter what format I choose to render out I still get the pop up. Photoshop doesn't even try to do anything at all, just shoot up the error window. Is there by chance something I needed to install but didn't? I install photoshop CS3 as part of production premium set. PP and AF render video just fine no problems.

  • When I try to paste an CCI file into  a PSD, I get this message-   Could not complete the Paste command because the ICC profile is invalid. I need the layer to be an editable smart object! What's the solution?  Ron

    When I try to paste an CCI file into  a PSD, I get this message…   Could not complete the Paste command because the ICC profile is invalid.
    I need the layer to be an editable smart object! What's the solution?
    Ron

    I received the file from my client. However, last week I had no trouble pasting the same file into a PSD file, as a smart object.
    The color file is a label mechanical, which I place into a PSD file of the product. These are used for print ads and web graphics. The color is very critical and has worked really well for the last 4 years.
    I have used the default color settings in Creative Suite and its been working fine. They are in synch and, I have no idea how to re-assign the color profile. I’m a graphic Designer, color correction is not something I would do normally.

  • Could not complete the smart sharpen command because there is not enough memory (RAM)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to complete the AutoSharpen (Filter->Sharpen->AutoSharpen) feature but, i'm getting the following error when i click on "Ok".
    Error in Dialogue Box "Could not complete the smart sharpen command because there is not enough memory (RAM)".
    Request the SME's and Adobe community team members to help me overcome this step to proceed further.
    I'm using a 32 Bit Win7 OS and have a 4GB RAM on board.
    Regards,
    Sachin_

    As Curt says, Photoshop got more hungry for RAM from CS4, and 32bit systems just weren't cutting it, but there was a trick we used to use to squeeze a bigger slice of the available installed 4Gb
    Run the Command Prompt as Administrator, and type:
    "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072"   (I can't remember whether the quote marks are needed or not.)
    That used to work for me with XP, and it is _supposed_ to work with Windows 7, but I know it doesn't always.
    If it doesn't work, or has unwanted consequences, turn it off with:
    "bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa"
    If you want to research it before trying, seach for 'Windows 7 3Gb switch'.

  • Could not complete the ... command because of a problem with the filter module interface

    I just reinstalled Photoshop CS6. I'm running OS X 10.8.2 .
    I use the Nik plugins suite, and reinstalled them as well. Now whenever I try to use one of those plugins I get the error "Could not complete the ... command because of a problem with the filter module interface."
    The reinstallation was a bit of a struggle due to issues on Adobe's end, and I am hesitatnt to just dive in and reinstall without wome idea as to what might cause these errors.
    Any insight appreciated.
    Stu

    Not sure I know what you mean by "disabling the Nik filter folder".
    I have the latest updates for the Nik filters and they are compatible with CS6.
    Since yesterday I tried uninstalling the Nik filters, manually locating and removing every file related to Nik/Nik Software, redownloading the Nik installers, uninstalling/reinstalling Photoshop, and reinstalling the Nik filters. Same result.
    I am pretty sure this is something on the Photoshop end, but am not sure what to do next. Maybe repeat the above and use the Creative Suite cleaner before reinstalling?

  • "Could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory (RAM)"

    I'm trying to save a file and an error keeps popping up saying ""Could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory (RAM)". I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. I have no other windows open. I checked the RAM allocated to Photoshop, in the Preferences > Performance tab, and I have tried it at 60% (980 MB) and 90% (1483 MB), still with no luck. I tried Purging the undo, clipboard and history with no help either.
    I read a couple of other posts that were similar to this and people suggested " resetting the preferences as described in the FAQ." but is there any way to do this without closing Photoshop?
    I can't loose this file, so any help woudl be appreciated.

    I'm sorry to hear it locked up on you, and with only a GIF saved (which is probably useless).  Perhaps I should have suggested Select All / Copy first.
    As far as what went wrong...  It might be helpful to know some of the specifics:
    What operating system are you running?
    Do you see any errors in the Windows error logs corresponding in time to this problem, and if so, what are the specifics?
    Do you have Photoshop updated to 12.0.3?
    What video card do you have, and do you have updated video drivers?
    Is OpenGL enabled in Edit - Preferences - Performance?
    What kinds of operations did you do since you started the session of Photoshop that ultimately went bad?
    What other applications were you running?
    What kind of computer is it (specifically, can you install more RAM)?
    It might not be possible to pinpoint just what went wrong, but perhaps we could make some general suggestions that might help.
