Hole with grasshopper?

Grasshopper Developer
1

Hello
Is there a way to create holes like in Rhino ?

2

which rhino command are you referring to ? you may want to post a sample file.
Any reason why you post in “grasshopper developer” not “grasshopper” category ?

the components that correspond to boolean are named "Solid"- Union / Difference / Intersection.
there is extrude and extrude along component
CapHoles will be helpful as well.
Bounding Boxand BoxCorners will allow you to query the necessary height of the extrusion.

kind regards - tom

Hi Tom
I mean with rhinocommon: _RoundHole, _MakeHole , …etc

I use Brep.CreatePlanarDifference to make similar Rhino holes

I think those Rhino-commands are not accessible with Rhinocommon - you have to combine:

https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/RhinoCommon/html/M_Rhino_Geometry_Extrusion_Create.htm
(wich is faster than using Surface.Create… because it includes the Cap flag)

https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/RhinoCommon/html/M_Rhino_Geometry_Extrusion_AddInnerProfile.htm

https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/RhinoCommon/html/M_Rhino_Geometry_Surface_ToBrep.htm
