Select self intersecting curves

OK will see what I can do to get the history corrected!

EDIT also an interesting aside, we now have much cleaner markdown for attachments:

Hi - The current Rhino 7 WIP has the SelSelfIntersectingCrv command. In Rhino 6, you can use testCrvSelfIntersection to mark the location of self-intersection.

I had to use this today and I don’t currently have access to V7 right now due to an IT issue, but does the SelSelfIntersectingCrv command also mark locations, like the test command does? If not, does that test command need more than 6 years of testing?

Hi Robert -

@eobet

[…] does the SelSelfIntersectingCrv command also mark locations […]

The SelSelfIntersectingCrv command only selects those curves that are self-intersecting.
The IntersectSelf command creates point objects in the locations where curves self-intersect.

Thanks for the clarification!

6 years later… wow! The _testCrvSelfIntersection is super useful!! I’ve been using SelSelfIntersectingCrv, but that doesn’t mark the points like the _test command. It’d be nice to have that point marking added to the SelSelfIntersectingCrv command, or “upgrade” the _testCrvSelfIntersection and call it… SelSelfIntersectingCrvPts.

There is no selection command but you can sort of get there by selecting a bunch of curves and running this (unsupported) test command

_ testCrvSelfIntersection

@pascal 7 years later and this reply still useful…and I am still in Rhino 5. Thanks.

Just wondering if there is anything similar for self-intersecting surfaces?

Hello no, nothing that I know of.
