Piping Issue

Hi,

I’m trying to pipe the triangulated curves I have however since the curves are all separate they do not pipe together. Is there a way of merging all the separate curves into one curve so that it can be piped?

Thanks,

You could Explode the triangles and remove duplicate line segments before Pipe with rounded ends but SUnion fails, unfortunately.

This takes ~three minutes to complete an Anemone loop and results in a single “Closed Brep” (solid) that, in theory, could be 3D printed. It uses Dispatch to separate the de-dupped line segments into horizontal vs. diagonal, then scales the diagonals by a factor of 0.98 (slightly shorter) before piping them, and then loops through the piped diagonals one at a time to SUnion them with the horizontal segments. A bit ridiculous but sometimes that’s what it takes.
