Is there a command in Rhino similar to Overkill in AutoCAD? Overkill in AutoCAD searches out duplicate lines (lines on top of one another) and deletes them and does other simple clean up tasks like joining lines that are end to end.

Unfortunately not. For a long time Rhino was way ahead of AutoCAD with functions like SelDup (which AutoCAD didn’t have for a long time) but AutoDesk have developed a few of these tools over the years, whereas Rhino still has only… SelDup. –Mitch

and a very finicky seldup at that. I’ve never dug into the exact reason why seldup doesn’t work more reliably. It doesn’t seem to respond to any changes in tolerance settings and frequently misses selecting many entities that virtually identical in every way.

Usually, to repair geometries that have duplicates that seldup can’t identify, I use the CurveBoolean command with delete options turned on. Other useful commands could be simplfyCrv (after joining some curves toghether), SelOpenCrv and SelShortCrv. Ciao! PS obviously all the above commands are w…

Here is an old script that I sometimes use to find overlapping curves - note that it does not fix them, only find and mark them. FWIW… –Mitch DetectOverlaps.rvb (1.1 KB)

Hi Mitch, ha, you use intersect command to examine the curves… smart! :wink: Thanks for the script! Simple and useful! Ciao

Correct- SelDup is not tied to tolerance in any way- what it looks for is exact duplicates in the data base not geometric equivalents. -Pascal

Hey guys, just select all curves and make2d them. Now you do not have overlaps. Simple as that. See you!

Very handy trick! It works, thanks

Hi, I just downloaded this script but it doesn’t appear to be working. What do I have to do to find? or to get it working?

Overkill type function?
