Is there a way to have Rhino highlight a self-intersecting curve? I have one that I can’t seem to track down even after filleting all the corners with a 0 radius.
Thanks,
Dennis

Hi - If you select a self-intersecting curve and extrude that (or make a planar surface from it), you will get at self-intersection warning.
There’s also a test command that you could try: testIntersectSelf
-wim
Thanks. What I’m looking for something along the lines of ShowNakedEdges where the program will highlight the self-intersection rather than making me spend decades trying to find it!

You can try this Python script. It will put points at the self-intersections found.
SelSelfIntersectCrvs.py (1.5 KB)
BTW, if they are closed curves, running CurveBoolean on them usually fixes the problem.
Thanks for those suggestions. In my woeful ignorance how do I execute the script?
Did you try that test command?
-wim
For temporary use, save the script to your desktop, then type RunPythonScript, browse to the script and Open.
For permanent installation under an alias or toolbar button, have a look at this wiki article:
Terrific. Thanks to you both!
Yes! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
