I am trying to generate a surface using a planar closed curve. However, as you can see below, the surface generated isn’t following the curved path well—some holes appear. I am guessing Rhino/grasshopper is converting the curve into fragments and treating them as straight lines. I use this surface to cut the actual roof surface, so the holes carry over into that operation as well. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
They do not, this is just the render mesh.

To refine the render mesh:
Options > Document Properties > Mesh
Check that the “Smooth and slower” option is selected.
Move the slider to “More polygons”
“OK” and see what the results look like.
If those changes are not sufficient you will need to go to “Detailed Controls”
Upload a .3dim file with the object and someone can help with suggested settings.

But of course trying to “fix” this “problem” is a waste of time until the mesh is actually exported for production purposes.

Perhaps it would be a waste of time for you. But others, including myself, may prefer not to have the “holes” along the edges. Adjusting the render mesh only takes a few seconds.

The “holes” are always there, it’s a just a matter of how big…and the fundamental issue with all these sorts of questions here that has to be hammered in to people is not understanding that “the render mesh” is not “the surface.” Nothing is “wrong,” there is nothing to actually “fix,” and they actually aren’t “holes.”
