Hi @pascal,
- Is there a quick way to converte hard edges to soft edges in meshes? Here an example:

- Is there a mesh modeling (to subd) tutorial for Rhino 7?
Thanks

Hi @pascal,

Hi Michael - do you mean, by ‘soft’, welded, or actually soft-shaped, like a subD? You can use RemoveCrease
on a mesh or subD edge, but on the mesh here it will not change anything visually; or if you ToSubD
that mesh ring, you can use Crease
or RemoveCrease
per edge…
But I think I am misunderstanding the question, perhaps.

Hi Pascal,
I’ve started with a quad, used _ArrayPolar, and tried to join that.
After joining the quads I still have open edges.

I am lost somehow with mesh-modeling. Hm?
How would you create this mesh ring?
Thanks
Michael
Hi Michael - the vertices are not exactly-exactly in the same locations - use AlignVertices
and then Weld
to get an unexplodable mesh.
-Pascal
Hi Pascal,
that worked, thanks.
So _Join makes me unhappy, why doesn’t it align the vertices in the modeling tolerance? Also the vertices have exact the same position, with no tolerance.
Is this a bug?
Thanks
Michael
Hi Michael - yeah, I’ll take a closer look. The vertices are not identical, microscopically, but I’d expect them to be weldable without the alignment step as well. I’ll see what I can see…

for verts that don’t quite line up, try the new stitch command… it works on meshes.
