Thanks @pascal , This is how it works on MacRhino seems backwards from your description. I don’t get the option to add the value _SelPrev once i get the Select Cutting objects dialogue.
For me to use SelPrev it has to be the object to split.
Then, speaking in general, I said that (after many years using Rhino … ) I’m still a little confused about commands run inside other commands …
Or maybe I just forgot about that …
I get confused also and i just had to walk through it. It also showed me that I cannot do it the way @pascal described in Rhino for mac. So hopefully they can adjust this.
Ok, I am probably confused, were do I enter the _SelPrev once I have the Select Cutting Objects dialog box?
The macro works great,
In Rhino for Windows you can enter it in the command line. On the Mac version you there is no option to enter it. Am I missing something, doing it at the wrong time?
Hi Randy - it looks to me like you can type it in the field in the dialog asking for a selection of the cutters, or just type ‘in the air’ - both seem to work here.
i think if your Object to Split is a certain shaped polysurface (one that isocurve extraction won’t work for ‘Select cutting Object’) …then you aren’t offered the chance to enter a value and the dialog shows like the one randy posted…
so, if you make a box then place a plane through it, the Split command works a little different (possibly incorrectly) than if you have two surfaces intersecting.
So… apparently you get different behavior if you’re splitting a surface with curves. There is a different dialog, I suppose because there are still options available. This seems incorrect to me - unless at the very least you can type in air, or a whole bunch of Sel* commands are not available… I’ll dig some more…
