Hi all, I’m hoping to be able to script the following.
Looking at overlaying multiple curves and creating a single curve that represents part of the border.
In this example I have the profile of 3 x our CNC tools.
The end result is a curve that is the result of those tools if they were machined into a board (7mm in this example).
It is sort of a boolean curve trimmed.
Hope it makes sense!
as a starting point you may use
creating a closed curve.
now identify the domain / section that overlapping with the initial black rectangle:
you get the intersection domain.
use
or
to remove it.
After the region union, you could also replicate the Trim with Brep GH component’s behaviour, which computes the intersections between the curve and a brep, shatters the curve using Curve.Split and then selects the piece of curve inside/outside the brep using Brep.IsPointInside. This may avoid dealing with seam problems, for the cost of computing an extrusion.

That is mint @magicteddy ! This was definitely above my pay grade and experience. I’m going to need to go a bit deeper than just Python & RS.

Thanks @Tom_P , I’m keen to learn some of the RhinoCommon functions - I can see that is where some of these extra features will be available!
