Could a feature be added that allows for Rhino to look for coincident points / edges with multiple meshes? I’ve been doing a bit of Mesh work and having a lot of problems wiht MeshBooleanUnion where I often get a result that is a partial union and partial intersection. After a fair bit of troubles…

Actually, maybe disregard this idea. It seems that going with non-coincident points just created a mess of micro faces and there’s somethign else preventing, what appears to be a relatively simple Boolean, from working.

Hi Kent - please try these operations in the V8 WIP - any better? [image] Rhino 8 WIP Available Now! Serengeti (Rhino 8 BETA) New feature development for Rhino 8 happens in the Rhino WIP. You need a Rhino 7 license to download and run Rhino WIP. Download now ! Below is …

Thanks for the quick reply Pascal. Yes, the boolean works much better in V8! I have still found a couple issues that were also present in V7 and I can’t tell if they are simply a rendering anomaly or if the boolean is altering the mesh. I think the V7 and V8 results in these ares might be slightly …

Hi Kent- [image] when Rhino displays a surface or polysurface on screen as shaded it uses the ‘render mesh’. The render mesh may or may not show facets in any particular view - if the mesh is coarse enough it will show facets, but you get to change mesh settings so that you can generally make th…

Cheers Pascal, Aye, that all makes sense. In fact, I DO want to see the facets and the flat shade option is particularly handy for this. Since my goal is a Mesh output it’s ideal to NOT see any curvature, really. Where I probably wasn’t clear is that in the default view where Rhino seems to be tr…

Look for coincident points / edges (in Check, or separate function)
