Bug in Mesh Split

Hello I want to cut a Mesh using MeshSplit, but I need to have clean grouping of mesh parts. For some mesh it works but for others it fails, there are too much parts and sometime bad cuts. See here an example in the grasshopper file. I have the same problem in Rhinoceros. [image] bug mesh split.gh (488.7 KB) The cutters are a polyline that is extruded. Gyroid and Polyline generated here by @DanielPiker I think I was able to make my own tool Not bad 7.7 s vs 5 s with Legacy …

You need a good precision to remove some bugs

cut_geometry_with_curves.gh (7.4 KB)

And if you just want ribbon use Polyline Extrude Both Side of Mesh

make_ribbon_from_curves.gh (7.3 KB)

Or is is also quite simple to dot that with components
Divide the curve
Search notmal for each point
Move point up and down
With 4 points of a segment make a mesh face
Join the faces
