Hi!
I use 2sweep alot. I’m frustrated to duplicate edges to curves and join them to get less sweeps…
How to remove some edge points?
Surfaces are offsets from parametric model… Can’t modify surfaces much because then I have to do everything again… I’d like to simplify surface edges which are cut before…
One more wish: I wish you could add join option to duplicate edges, because now I have to jump from duplicate to join button and again back to duplicate button and so on… yes I know there is shortcuts etc…
Hi @Wagner
If the edges are tangent, they can be merged with the MergeEdge command. If not, you will need to re-trim the surface with a clean set of curves.

Hi!
Thank you Jakob for your answer. Sad to hear that.
Unfortunately I’ll have awful work to do… 800+ naked edges ( 400x100x100 part ) with many edge parts including 0,003mm curve pieces…
Troubles to zoom etc…
@Wagner
Or use the selectionfilter, or the selectcurves command.
As those curves are all edge duplicates, there should be no overlaps, so they can even be joined all in one go… piece of cake.
Please check attachment file.
Sorry Jim I did not understand “Crv option to restrict to curves/edges, and start picking”…
I mean If… I want to use sweep2 I need 4 sides to make it.
Let’s say none of the 4 edges are perfect, so I just can’t pick 2 rails and 2 side edges…
I have to use dupedge to get curves. Lets say all edges has 5 curves, it makes 20 curves I have to pick.
NOW:
I have to use dupedge and pick 5 edge parts.
Then I have to use join command to connect these 5 curves together.
Then I have to use dupedge again to choose 5 nest edge parts… and move to join command again…
Then I have to use dupedge again to choose 5 nest edge parts… and move to join command again…
Then I have to use dupedge again to choose 5 nest edge parts… and move to join command again…
OR:
I have to use dupedge and pick 4x5=20 edge parts.
Then I have to unpick 4 curves not to join horizontal to vertical curves together.
Then I have to use join command to connect these 10 curves together.
Then I have to pick all the rest 10 curves to join together.
I’D LIKE TO:
I have to use dupedge (with JOIN option) and pick 5 edge parts., Press enter/right mouse
Press enter/right mouse to continue with other 5 edge parts…
Press enter/right mouse to continue with other 5 edge parts…
Press enter/right mouse to continue with other 5 edge parts…
Just thinking which one option is faster… And I have 500 of these in my original parametric and Rhino offset part…
It would be nice to have chain option also in dupedge…
It would be great to avoid picking 0,003mm edges manually…

PS: It might be that there is something like this, I just don’t know them…
Sweep2 does have a chain option…and yeah, you’re making this sound more complicated than it is. You can also run “Selchain” as a command on its own.
It seems like you still need to do a bunch of clicking because this model is so rough that there is no continuity to follow. What is this all about? It sounds like you offset an imported parametric model in Rhino and are trying to clean it up? Why wasn’t it thickened in the other software? What’s the goal here? There may be a quicker solution.
