Q : GH Python, Trimmed Surface in, Untrimmed Surface out

Scripting
1

Hi there,

I tried to sort surfaces order and append those to a new list of surfaces.
Original surfaces are trimmed, but once appended, turned to be untrimmed surfaces.
I guess it is because of object type. I dont try yet but brep objects might not make any problem in same operation. I still wonder if there is a way to get trimmed surface without changing object type.
Please find attached files and give me some help.

Thanks,
PJ

Hi Lepli
You should use rs.SurfaceAreaCentroid and rs.IntersectBreps function.
like this

I rarely use the ghpythonlib.components module,Because the ghpythonlib.components module is prone to errors.It is recommended to use the rhinocommon SDK or rhinoscriptsyntax module.
I hope this help you.
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import Rhino.Geometry as rg
import ghpythonlib.components as gh
