QuadRemesher

Is there a way to use the new Quad Remesher which is available in Rhino 7 through API or scripting? I tried _QuadRemesh, but it brings dialog.
Can I provide the parameters in the script line and not have the dialog?

Would Mesh.Faces.ConvertTrianglesToQuads(...) do the job for you?

https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/RhinoCommon/html/M_Rhino_Geometry_Collections_MeshFaceList_ConvertTrianglesToQuads.htm

MeshFaceList.ConvertTrianglesToQuads Method

Joins adjacent triangles into quads if the resulting quad is ā€˜niceā€™.

public bool ConvertTrianglesToQuads( 
   double angleToleranceRadians, 
   double minimumDiagonalLengthRatio 
)

Yes, in RhinoCommon: https://developer.rhino3d.com/wip/api/RhinoCommon/html/Overload_Rhino_Geometry_Mesh_QuadRemesh.htm

If you want to use the -_QuadRemesh command with a macro then prefix the command with a hyphen ā€œ-ā€ to suppress the dialog box.

This is may be what I want, but do you have also a C++ example? I am using the RhinoSDK with C++ only.

Looks like it is not (yet) in the C++ API: https://developer.rhino3d.com/wip/api/cpp/

You may script the command from C++ like explained here:

Hey, I need to use this, but the results donā€™t seem correct. Could you see if I am doing something wrong? I am only interested in adjacency and coplanarity (the quad diagonals ratio doesnā€™t concern me).inaccurateResults.gh (14.1 KB)

The script from here might help you:
