When multiple matches are selected for matchsrf, for subsequent edges, automatically select the edge on the same surface as the first selected edge.
Instead of saying “All edges must be from the same surface”
How would this work if I only want to match 2 or 3 edges from the first surface?
If I do MatchSrf multiple edges and the first selection is Edge 1 on surface A, then any subsequent edge selections should start with some edge on A, not B, C, or D
B
Edge 1
++++++++
-
+ Edge 2 C -
A +
++++++++
Edge 3
D
I missed you are using Rhino for Mac.
Here is what happens in Rhino for Windows V8 WIP when I use MatchSrf with MultipleEdges option using your scenario.
Command: MatchSrf
Select untrimmed surface edge to change ( MultipleMatches ): MultipleMatches
Select untrimmed surface edge to change
I select edge 1 on A
Select curve or edge to match. ( ChainEdges OnSurface=Off )
I select an edge on B
All edges to modify must be from the same surface.
I select edge 2 on A
Select next untrimmed edge to change on the first surface. Press Enter when done
I select an edge on C
Select curve or edge to match. ( ChainEdges OnSurface=Off )
I select edge 3 on A
Select next untrimmed edge to change on the first surface. Press Enter when done
I select an edge on D
Select curve or edge to match. ( ChainEdges OnSurface=Off )
Select next untrimmed edge to change on the first surface. Press Enter when done
Creating meshes… Press Esc to cancel
For Select next untrimmed edge to change on the first surface. Press Enter when done I can only select an edge on the first surface.
Sometimes I may only want to match edge 1 and edge 2 but not edge 3 of A.
Yeah… it seems to me the selection could be filtered without too much trouble once the first edge is known. I’ll add this to the pile.

I add that it appears that Rhino does not indicate the direction of the match when multiple matches are selected, making this process more complicated.
