I was trying to cut a mesh into two parts, but mesh boolean (against a closed polysurface) doesn’t seem to work. I also tried to split the mesh, with surface or closed polysurface, but no go.
The cutter can be moved a bit (± 1mm) in any direction if need be. Test Cut 000.3dm (254.8 KB)
Hi Rolf - I’m afraid maybe there is not always a way at all - mesh intersections are a pretty severe weak point in Rhino at the moment, especially if the meshes are less that perfect (this one has some self-intersections according to Check). What I usually do is MeshIntersect then SplitMeshWithCurve with the resulting polyline. As is, this is not working with this mesh.
Hi Rolf - the WIP will not do appreciably better, I’m afraid - the mesh intersection stuff is a known sore-spot and is getting attention but it is not better yet as far as I know.
