Hi,
I am having a problem with nesting surfaces with opennest for grasshopper (https://www.food4rhino.com/app/opennest#downloads_list ). The example given by the maker does work, but mine does not. OpenNestExample191004_Problem.gh (307.9 KB)

Internalize your breps
Sorry, I thought I did. Here is the file with the internalized data.OpenNestExample191004_Problem.gh (307.9 KB)
Here you go. You have holes in there. That´s why. Easier as Seghier already suggested is to use a mesh.

It only happens like that when your brep has 0 thikness. Like a trimmed surface and so on. It works just fine if you use an actual solid. Then remove the faces you don´t need from the nested geometry. Then you don´t need to separate the holes in the surface at all.
thanks!
For nesting always try to simplify the outline to as least points as possible, here is an example that takes largest curve as input and reduces it to low-poly curves:
You can make it more simple, by finding bounding rectangle and orient object to xy plane
but the component Hull do all that
