Hi all!
Does anyone know why my isotrim isn’t being applied to the rest of the surfaces? its only being applied to the “untrimmed” surfaces and not the open breps. How should I fix this?

Because that’s what the component does.
Your open breps must also ‘become’ untrimmed*:

*Please note this is just to illustrate why isotrim wasn’t processing all surfaces—now it does. However, be aware your shorter flat surfaces will look different:
If you wanted divisions to be consistent across your surfaces, you might have to approach things differently.
Thank you so much! But yes, I would like my divisions to be equal, is there a way to do that?
Not automagically through isotrim. I can’t try ideas at the moment, and while someone else helps I wonder if it’s more beneficial for you to (1) distinguish between curved and non-curved surfaces so you (2) apply isotrim to both sets separately, then re-combine them.
@Volker_Rakow, your method(s) from here wouldn’t be immediately usable, correct?
Not for the non-planar surfaces, no. Even divisionings on curved surfaces is exactly what Rajaa’s Panelling Tools are made for, so I would suggest working with those?
I also just want to be careful about making any suggestions on how to divide the curved surfaces here, as in this other thread:
it would seem they will not be vertically planar? Or it is not clear. In the case that they are not, I would much sooner use UV isolines of the original surface than devise new vertical ones.
