Hi!
What is the best way to connect two meshes so that they create one solid?
join+weld vertices
@Gijs is this possible in grasshopper?
yes but be aware though that you only get a closed mesh if the meshes share all vertices at their connections. Mesh > Utils > Mesh Join + Mesh WeldVertices
@Gijs I think I wasn’t clear in the situation. The 2 meshes aren’t overlapping each other, so I don’t know if welding would make sense. I would want to create a mesh between the 2 meshes in order to attach them into one mesh. Is this possible?
Here is a pic of the situation:
They aren’t connected at any point to each other.
best to share a file. Looking at the picture, I think you can get a solid simply by thickening the mesh
@Gijs Here are my Rhino and Grasshopper files:
GH mesh-v3.0-061820.gh (13.0 KB)
vessel-mesh.3dm (2.6 MB)
There’s got to be an easier way, but I don’t know it… (attached has internalized geometry)
cap-n-connect.gh (2.2 MB)

Is this a continuation of the previous post (variable offset)? If not variable then offset mesh has a solid option in rhinocommon. If variable then just get the naked edges and create the mesh between, like a mesh loft.
@Michael_Pryor Yessir, it is a continuation of the previous post, so unfortunately, offset mesh isn’t being used here. Right now, I am trying to do as you advised, but there is no mesh option between 2 polylines (which is what the naked edges gets you) as far as I am aware.
There is, although a bit convoluted, see my post above …
