Hello, I’m playing around with the new subd tools for a bit and found an input mesh for ToSubd which creates a valid not badSubD, which does not get drawn:
There is still work to be done to be able to deal with SubD’s with non-manifold edges. It’s a known issue and as far as I know, not on the list to be fixed for the Rhino 7.0 release but will be in a later 7.x release. I looked briefly in the YouTrack database and didn’t immediately find the item but will look some more and add this file to it.
Thanks,

I may be wrong on this one, but this mesh is not something I would expect to work as a SubD model. It’s all triangles with non-manifold edges.
Most SubD modelers will tell you to model all quads and avoid non-manifold edges. Smoothing triangles and N-Gons pretty much never gives a good result.
I did not expect this input mesh to work, it was more of a curiosity, testing the limits of the subd code.
What is wierd to me, is that Rhino creates a subD from the input which passes the BadObject test but does not get drawn. I would much prefer for the release version of R7 to not create a bad subD from bad input because for a user this just leads to wierd results:
The subD gets created but there is no visual clue that it is now present in the model
SelSubd now selects the invisible subd but shows no gumball
PointsOn shows the control cage of the input mesh and the grips are drawn incorrectly during transformations
