I’m looking for resources for the Rhino command “SelChain”, but couldn’t find anything in the tutorials etc as it does not behave as I expect it to.
SelChain only works for the example in the middle, but the order of selection seems to matter.
If I start from the circle section I get all connected (setting ChainContinuity=Position) edges, when I start from another position it does not work.
What is the reason for this effect? How can I make sure that I always get the resired result independent of the first element?
Yes, that name describes what I want to do better -
SelectContinuousFaces
with C0, C1, C2 option.
Unfortunately this command doesn’t seems to exist right now.
Version 7 SR7
(7.7.21160.5001, 2021-06-09)
If it does not exist yet, I’ll try to do it myself. Right now I don’t know what would be best for doing this.
Any suggestions?
A really inefficient way is iteratively combining faces together face by face and then checking if there is any discontinuity with combined_face.GetNextDiscontinuity, but there are better ways for this.
Thank you for your answer eddi,
I just tried out the newer version attached to the post you quoted.
I’m trying to select all surfaces that have a certain continuity with each other, without being limited to polysurfaces like the rhino plugin from @pascal
It still seems to limited to polysurfaces it seems, at least thats what the command windows says and therefore it does not work with my provided example (it contains no polysurfaces, just surfaces / trimmed surfaces).
