Hi,
Hi,

That doesn’t make sense, Steve. Surfaces do not join because the edges
are not within tolerance; not because they happen to be trimmed.
MatchSrf command says :-
1:Select an untrimmed surface edge.
It simply wouldnt select my edge, when I went back through what I had done and ditched the stage when I trimmed it, then it worked, though it caused a gaping hole.
see:-
thread Simple shape for sweep2 as advised but why both options results bad? - #4 by Marc
(I did clean up the curves, it still refused)

Trimmed surfaces are safe, BUT avoid trims that ends up being tangent to
edges as it can cause trouble. In those scenarios it is better to
extend the surface before trimming so you have a “pure trim”.
any chance of what u mean as a visual screen dump etc ?
Rhino also has trouble sometimes with boolean operations where the
surfaces are coplanar, so instead extend the solids so they have enough
overlapping volumes.
I noticed that, there are times I have one solid touching another as part of its shape and boolean fails as it seems not to know if it is or isnt intersecting with the other solid. I hate those times !
