Hello Community,
I am using Rhino 6 to create a Mesh from a point cloud. When i use the comand mesh from points. The mesh is made from boxes,
but i want it to be fluent. how can i fix it. Or is there a better way to create an object from a point cloud in rhino.Thank you
Try MeshPatch perhaps… If you have a lot of points it may take awhile.
its 1.2 mio points… do you think it might work? and do you maybe know why it creates these boxes instead of a normal surface?
Possibly. Save everything first in case Rhino runs out of memory…
I don’t know how MeshFromPoints works actually… never used it.
ok thanks! ive read something about a solution with grasshoper and the delaunay function does it also work for a point cloud with million points?
I remember they basically share the same algorithm. So I’d use Rhino’s MeshPatch to avoid Grasshopper overhead (in data type processing).
The project I am working on has a terrain of 1M points. MeshPatch creates the mesh in about 3 seconds. But MeshPatch is best for seemingly-smooth surface.
When i use normal patch this happens:
And how do you use mesh patch? i dont get it cause it asks for a surface to drag the points … im confused
thanks
There’s a command called MeshPatch. Patch is for NURBS surface.
and how do you use mesh patch, cause when i selec my points it asks for holes and surfaces??
If you get the boxes with MeshPatch, then that’s the way your points are organized it seems…
That’s weird. 
Don’t quite know why.
It worked with delaunay in grasshoper
Odd - MeshPatch should use more or less the same method. Is there any way someone can download the points file to test?
