Select duplicate surfaces?

Hi,

I have a model with thousands of surfaces, any multiple duplicates. I tried SelDup to delete them, but they don’t get detected for some reason - any ideas how to fix it please? Attached small sample.

SelDup only works on 100% identically defined objects. Your duplicates are not in this case. Some of them have flipped normals and perhaps other minor NURBS definition differences which makes SelDup fail.

Here is an old script of mine that I never really finished working on (internal note says “Work in progress”), but it does find (select) the 12 near-duplicate surfaces in your file.

could seldup command have some suboptions what to take into account and what not? like geometry, orientantion, layer, color …

Thank you so much for your reply, sorry I only just saw it!

I’m not familiar with python script, please could you tell me how do I run one in rhino?
