Unable to extend a simple surface. 8.13 crashes time after time

Good morning, when working on a hull side which I try to extend upward Rhino crashes time after time. I just purchased 8.12 a few days ago as I heard so many good things about Rhino 3d software and was advised to upgrade to 8.13 which would solve the problem. Any advice towards a solution or what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

I also notice some shady lines on the surface.

hi @Michael_Ferry ,

thanks for reporting. And sorry to hear that you are running into these issues as a first experience.

I can confirm that this surface doesn’t behave very well with ExtendSrf.

As a workaround, you could Untrim the surface first, then extend, if that helps.

This is most likely due to the mesh setting being too coarse.
Try:

Alternatively, you can trim the surface one side at a time, RefitTrim and get to the attached resulting surface, which can be extended without issues.

thanks Gijs, that works! Lots of things to learn but what a blast to draw in 3D vs years in 2D :slight_smile:
