Split intersecting surfaces

[NRGH (Mootassem Hassoun)]

Hi all,
I normally export surfaces from Rhino to FEA packages to analyse which then I need to split. I would be a lot more productive if I can split the surfaces in Rhino before hand and thus I tried to write a script to handle it, however the last component “split surface” would generate too many splits in the surface due to it splitting the surface with any line that intersect its projection and thus curves and surface do not need to be coplanar. Like I said this results with too many intersections and splits, is there a way I can get a way with a cleaner split?

Thanks in advance!

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!

This GH file modifies canvas colors and perhaps other properties in a way that persists after closing Rhino and opening an old GH file

This is VERY BAD and very rude. What have you done to my Rhino GH? I am deeply offended and inclined to ignore you forever,

And by the way, the geometry is missing even when I open your GH file.

Nasty indeed. Here’s a reduced version of the file without any of the setting changing components.

Hi all, apologies for this, I am a complete noob to GH and Rhino for that matter. Regarding the template it is actually a company template that I used by default and not my creation. I would like to take down this post to be honest. Additionally I apologies for this imature error sharing this file would have caused did not realize this could happen.

I’m adding a Sandbox mode to GH2 that should prevent any settings from becoming persistent while enabled. It’s not a great solution; the ability to undo settings changes would be preferable, but it’s easy to implement so it’ll have to do for now.
