Mesh2 alternative meshing

[lander (CAD CAM CNC)]

I’ve found the quadrangulate command in rhino to have no discernable effect on 99% of the meshes I’ve ever tried it on.

Yes, it barely quadrangulates sometimes. But it barely does anything.

‘Quad remesh’ on the other hand is a bit more intrusive than I’d like. I believe the mesh2 interface had the functionality I was after.

@lander

If I could create a mesh that was actually comprised of quads only, without too much distortion from original object, or rather have better control over the polygon shapes that conform to the NURBS, it could be super helpful.

@lander

I’m curious if the ‘quadrangulation’ function works better during the actual process of meshing, rather than trying to mod the mesh after it’s already been triangulated.

This dialogue looks very important to me. I think users would like this.

@andy

Mesh2 is under development.

@laborda

Is this mesher prototype somewhere with another name?

That’s what I’m wondering…

@wim

That is correct, yes. The plan is to continue the development in the Rhino 8 WIP cycle.

I’m curious as to the status of said development.
