SubD to Brep in Shapediver (packed faces)

Grasshopper

Hi,
Hope you are doing great!

We are converting a mesh to a SubD and are in need for the option to convert the SubD into a Brep that does not convert every single mesh face into a single surface, but retains the surface layout of the SubD, where multiple faces are packed into larger surfaces. Flexibility or Phyton solves this problem as the default Brep component in GH does not allow for packed faces, but Shapediver does not list Flexibility as an onboarded plugin, nor can we go through a manual check with their team of the python script, every time we update this.

Question, would anyone know a workaround? Thanks!

@pierrec any ideas here?

Making a GH component with the SubD ToNURBS options exposed is being tracked here: https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-61955/Grasshopper-Add-ToNURBS-options-for-SubD-conversion. That would solve @bassing.stefan I believe.

I don’t know why this was targeted for GH2, we need it in GH1 as well. I’ll see what I can do.
