Query Model Objects - Brep problems and Surface not recognized as surface

Surfaces aren’t recognized as surfaces and are listed as Breps.

I recently discovered that the box properties component can be used to get a bounding box center and it seemed to be much faster compared to calculating the volume, especially on complex objects.

Unfortunately his does not work with a Brep listed in the Query Model Objects component.

Is Query Model Objects new in Rhino 8? If so, you may have discovered a shortcoming that can be fixed by the development team.

Note that a Surface is only a Surface if it has no trims. Otherwise it is a Brep, even if it is only a single surface, not a polysurface. I can’t open your 3dm file in Rhino 7 so I can’t check what is in there. If you draw just a simple plane, it should show up as Surface I think.

Rhino 8, and yes it’s a surface :slight_smile:

Better let @dale or someone else know that surfaces are not showing up in the new grasshopper component.

@AndyPayne - can you have a look at this?
