TweenSurface

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to if there is a way to generate a surface tween using RhinoCommon (other than calling _TweenSurfaces from the plugin). I searched in the documentation but I only found out curve tweens. I would like to avoid re-implementing the algorithm in my code, as the rhino version is surely more stable and tested.

Thanks !

Hi Alberto,

RhinoCommon does not contain a function equivalent to the TweenSurfaces command. I’ve added your request to the wish list.

For the time being, you might be able to script the TweenSurface command using RhinoApp.RunScript().

Thanks Dale,
sounds cool to have it in the future! I will reimplement it in my code for the time being because I need to have manipulate further the Brep in the code.

Just to follow this up, I created a simple script as a prototype to generate the tween surface by sampling. Attaching it here, if anyone needs it.
