BUG extractPipedCurve

from a single segment curve: just noticed ExtractPipedCurve command gives an open mesh. I assumed to get a closed mesh.

Hi Matteo. Can you please run systeminfo in your Rhino command line as well as post the example file? Thanks.

It happens with any drawn segment, on any PC I used before, also with current the WIP version. Just never bothered reporting this.

I’m not quite following

I am reporting that using that command gives me always an open mesh, but I think I should get a closed mesh

It has been reported as a bug. I’ve added this thread to bump it up. Hopefully we can get this into Rhino 9.
