I’m a complete newbie, and my experience with Grasshopper is, like, two days. I managed to do most of what I wanted, and I have my eye-shaped box with nice cutouts (see image). I’m trying to create a shape to fill the sclera cutouts, but all my attempts fail. Does anybody have an idea of what I’m doing wrong? the circle and the two curves are the same ones that I used for the eye shaped, that is baked on rhino.
Please post your Grasshopper file with the relevant input geometry internalized. You can do this by right clicking an input and click internalize data.
Try using closed Breps for solid operations, not planar surfaces.
If you want to work with closed planar curves (as I depict from your screenshot), use the Region Difference/Intersection and so on for those.

this is the file I’m working on. I plan to make all the ready parts out of wood and 3D print a mesh with a nice pattern to fill the sclera cutouts. I’m trying to create a shape with the cutout, so I can fill it with a pattern.
No… I want to create a shape that is the exact same same size of the cutouts (the white part of the eye) so I can fill it with a mesh to 3D print. The other parts I’ll laser cut out of wood. This is supposed to be a bird house in the end and the pupil will be the entrance
