Dear Community,
I have a problem that I need your help with.
I have an inital geoemtery which is a connector between different beams.
I want to close the geometry with interpolated surfaces. When I use ‘Patch’, I was not able to close the geometry. I tried different properties for the command but whitout any success.
Maybe someone has an idea how to deal these geoemtries? Maybe with a Mesh, SubD or even in Grasshopper? My final goal is to 3d print the geometry, so it has to be closed.
Would love to read your thoughts and ideas! Thanks a lot !
The quickest way to create a closed polysurface is by untrimming the patch and the moving it inwards so you get a clean intersection with the other surfaces.
Another way would be to untrimm the patch and extend the surfaces.
Thanks Martin for your fast answer! I tried this already but with this method I always had a change of the intial geoemtry. If I compare the area of the inital and the final cutted polysurface they are different.
one quick and dirty method without fiddling much could also be to create a mesh as dense as your tolerance may require, then fillmeshholes, might not be pretty though, then i certainly would prefer patch as Martin suggested.
i assume so, it unfortunately can not be installed on macs. i just wished Rhino would get a more powerful native patch, that would be a real gap filler.
solutions may really be individual, with zero to look at the suggestions will be like playing battleship. if you have issues best would be to post at least an image, better a file since an image is mostly not enough.
