How to rationalize a randomly generated complicated surface

[Rickson]

These might be developable. There are a few topics that go into creating mesh strips.

Introducing TriRemesh - high quality triangular and hexagonal remeshing and shrink wrapping

Yes, the ?a:b is a convenient way of doing inline conditionals: and I was using (j + 1) % fi to make sure the indexing wraps when taking the next point around the boundary (to get the edge between vert 2 and 0 if it is a triangle, or between 3 and 0 when it is a quad). I’ll make sure isolated point inputs work properly in the next release (it was working before, and the code is all still in there, I just changed the component at the last moment from having separate inputs for feature poi…

About mesh unfolding

Hi Anders, So reading you I guess what I need to do is possible. (and of course as you probably already understood “meshing” in triangles is a way to be able to develop a surface having double curvature at start) I have to say I don’t quite understand all what you describe, so if you can send me on a user (ie : not developer oriented) tutorial showing how to do what you are talking about, it could be absolutely helping for me ! Best regards, Guy

Uniform developable strips in Z direction

Here examples of these 2 approaches: even_valence_quadmesh.gh (22.1 KB) multipipe_strips.gh (21.0 KB) [warpweft] [buildingblocks] (note that when composing these elements, you need to take care to only do so in a way that the valence stays even -the orientation of that division of the flat hexagon into 2 quads matters) [Multipipe_strips] The other nice thing about even valence quad meshes I forgot to mention is that it is also what is needed for making semi-discrete surfaces (ie smooth…
