Trying to do Region Difference Instead of Solid Difference

Dear community,

I’m trying to optimize the time it takes to run this script. I’ve arrived to the solid difference approach as it leads to the correct output but I was wondering if I can do it faster via region and surface cuts.

This is the grid like cell that is defined by curves and needs to cut a rectangle area that is just a boundary offset of the grid cell like structure.

I’d appreciate any feedback of what I could do to avoid the lengthy solid difference op.

Extrude the curves instead of solid difference?

Thanks for this. The solution was just under my nose. I didn’t know how to use boundary surface component, but now I do! I’ll rate this as the solution as it does not include external plugins.
