I’m trying to mirror a revolved surface that has been trimmed in Grasshopper. For some reason, the mirrored object has more isocurves than the original. Is there a way to perform a mirror without these additional isocurves being added to this mirrored surface?
Please don’t start threads without posting a GH file.

Hah. My confidence in your ability to Vulcan mindmeld was overestimated Joseph!
I will also ask a super remedial question since we are establishing fundamental truths. Is there a way to bind a rhino file to a grasshopper file so I don’t always have to save both? In this instance, there is really no need to save a separate rhino file, but sometimes I am extracting geometry from an existing Rhino File, and saving both files is tedious. If you drill down on the attached grasshopper file you will see there is a filleting command that sporadically breaks due to this lack of symmetry in the mirroring.

The Mirror Surface component is used to mirror geometry in a freeform surface. This could be a spherical mirror…
Use the Mirror component instead to mirror an object with a plane.

Super helpful. Thank you Martin. That helped a lot. Despite this substantial improvement, for some reason, the fillet command still breaks when the fillet radius gets big. Any further thoughts?

The units in my file are feet. The Bulwark index you selected is a ratio, its not actually a unit. I took a closer look at the control points and the problem appears to be associated with the spacing of them. I tried simplifying the curve. I wonder if there is a way to apply a fillet to the next curve away from the curve kink point associated with the fillet.
