Match Surface within Polysurface

Hi All,

I’m curious. Is it possible to have an ability of MatchSrf within PolySurface without exploding it?
Like, look at polysurface in ShowEdges mode and see all disjoined edges. And just run MatchSrf without exploding Polysurface, Matching, Joining and look at it again. And have bunch if such iterations.
Maybe a script of such algorithm already exists? Any chance to have it “from the box” in future?
I understand there could be trimmed edges in a polysurface, but it’s a separate case.
At least having possibility to match and join untrimmed edges without explode/join iterations is already a big progress.

Hello- no, it is not possible in plain Rhino. The chances of all edges staying within joining tolerance is not very great.
Do not use JoinEdge here unless the only goal is to generate a closed mesh.

see if JoinEdge helps, be aware that this is a last resort command, read the doc i have linked.

Thanks, @encephalon

You’re right. It’s the last time resort. I’ve never used it for a while.
Anyway, still waiting, maybe someone already created some script for this combination.
Otherwise, will need to try to create it by myself.

you could also try ConnectSrf, that also works when the polysurface is joined, it will extend the adjacent surfaces and connect them, but i have no idea if that works on your geometry, you could post a sample if it does not work.

Wow, I didn’t know this. Will try to use it with my workflow. Thank you!
