Alright, I’ll take a look. Do you have any advice on how to get curve panels? I’m trying to get them by modifying your script, but I haven’t been able to. Do you think I need to start from scratch?
There is a planarization component in the igMesh plugin. It ports the method developed in the paper:https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1111/j.1467-8659.2012.03171.x
You need to make your panels into a QuadMesh to use it.
Hi @jessesn , Hi @Tom_Newsom
Thank you again for yours previous reply — it was very helpful.
After reviewing my script more carefully, I realized the main issue comes from the fact that I’m using polylines to generate the panels. Because of this, the panel edges are not truly curved; they are segmented. When I take measurements, the “kinks” appear as separate edges, which creates problems for accurate fabrication output.
Following your suggestion, I tried generating an interpolated curve and using it to split the surface instead. However, I’m running into a new issue: in some areas the surface does not split correctly. I suspect this might be related to curve continuity, tolerance, or the curve not lying perfectly on the surface.
