Looking for volunteers to try out new UI for FillSrf

9.0.25112.12305, 2025-04-22

  • Running FillSrf first time should also bring the user to the selection phase (without needing for an additional click “Select constraints”), this would give a bit more consistency with the most of other Rhino commands.
  • FillSurf preview color should be different from selection color (yellow)
  • after changing the selection with “Select constraints” curve elements are still selected
  • after changing the selection with “Select constraints” the preview is not always shown
  • internal details works properly only if they are curves and set as “I” (Internal?)
  • it is not possible to use surface edges the same way, “I” as “internal”
  • it is not possible to use surface edges to give G1 or G2 information for an internal part of the resulting surface
  • moving an “I” internal curve while FillSrf is running and then doing Undo will create a double selection of that curve and make impossible removing them from the selection

I’ve not tested this with complex shapes but it seems already pretty good :+1:


Edit, about selection, for now I would totally UnselectAll at start, before “Select constraints” , and once that selection is completed, unselect every geometry used. See video.
If a user have a selection outside the screen, clicking “Select constraints” would add that geometry to the constraints.
Maybe it’s better to have “Select constraints” not accepting pre-selections? Not sure about this but currently it feels strange entering “Select constraints” with no selection and finishing/exiting with something selected…

Edit 2: added same post here https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/rhino-9-feature-g2-continuous-patches/198660/217
