Hi, A simple question : Is it possible to mesh a cylinder in Rhino usind only quad ? I try to use the usual mesh tool which gives me QUAD on the sides, and some TRI at intersections between sides and top/bottom of the cylinder. I didn’t achieve to supress TRI and replace them by QUAD. Any Tips …

Hi Cyril - a joined or trimmed edges will pretty much always have triangles along the edges in Rhino I’m afraid. -Pascal

I today had to discover QuadMesh myself. It’s just in WIP, but works pretty good: There are 1873 quadrilateral polygons and 0 triangular polygons in this selection There would be 3746 total triangular polygons in this selection after forced triangulation [image]

Dear community of users, Thank you for your answers. Marcus, I try to used Quadmesh. I didn’t reach the same results as you. I proceed as follow : creation of a circle surface [image] Extrude of the surface [image] 3; Meshing the surface [image] [image] Quad mesh on the mesh [image] …

This mesh looks like T-spline isocurves. Similar algorithm can be used to replace NURBS with T-splines. I hope that Rhino 7 will have geometric modeling kernel similar to T-splines.

I have no clue, what the people at McNeel should do next, but the only thing I personally am missing in Rhino is something like T-Splines…

Dear Rhino users, Thank you for your answers. I 'm now using Quadmesh from WIP and it’s work well for a vertical cylinder. May I ask for advices regarding the Quadmesh options I should used if i want to realise a quad mesh of the following geometry (cylinder on cylinders) ? [image] I try with t…

The holes are to be expected at this point. Work on the WIP command was put on ice September-ish 2015 and you would probably want to explore other ways of achieving your target for the time being. Possibly PanelingTools. Also see the following thread: https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/mesh-at-surface…
