Stitching Near Coincident Edges

Rhino SubD
1

A bind I sometimes get into, is stitch sees coincident edges like this and just can’t do anything about it seemingly. I see a contradiction here. If you drag and edge away, okay great it’s clear to see there are two edges so indeed it is a naked edge. But, why would stitch not intelligently not enable the same edge to be selected in the command, for the first and second edge input? Is this anything to do with crease settings?

NB
I’ve usually come across this kind of thing on every SubD project I’ve done - it slows things down a bit and does kind of kill the joy/flow a bit.

Hi Jonathan, I see this is hard to get done, I’ll add it to the bug tracker, thanks.

I thought _AlignVertices would help but it only moves the vertices and doesn’t weld them.

_AlignVertices followed by _WeldEdge (double click selection of edge chain is helpful to get all of the naked edges faster) will fix the naked edges. But Stitch would give you more control over the process.

Hi Pierre, the hint of WeldEdge being applicable to SubD is very welcome. Thank you. In these cases where it is just a matter of needing to ‘close up’, rather than Stitching and a desire over picking the position of the stitch / design / control, it works perfectly.
