I understand that Rhino doesn’t have a “solid solver”, but imo, it doesn’t even have a polysurface solver… [GIF] [the-godfather-don-corleone] I must admit, that unless I’m manipulating simple boxes, I’ve never had the gizmo produce anything useful from a polysurface. Instead it gladly destroys la…

Can you please post a file with your geometry?

You can easily replicate this with any polysurface that doesn’t have 100% right angles. Also, if you add in a curved surface somewhere that you want to change, you’re often even more screwed.

Hi Robert - [image] eobet: You can easily replicate this with any polysurface that doesn’t have 100% right angles. We have 60 open items in the ON_TransformBrepComponents subsystem. If you post a 3dm file, I can put that on the list… -wim

[image] Martin Siegrist: Anyway, you must have your reasons not to upload the file. Yeah, it may be an early sketch but it’s still a client project so I can’t share it. [image] Wim Dekeyser: If you post a 3dm file, I can put that on the list… I’ve uploaded it now using the uploader an…

It’s painful, I agree. In case you want a workaround, you can move part of it and then PushPull the rest: This means that technically we should be able to do this already, but for moveface this way of handling geometry was never implemented. @rajaa @Joshua_Kennedy

Oh, I noticed that I exported the geo after my “fix”. I’ve used your uploader to upload what should match with the original geo in the first post. Could you try that again please?

Another weird example where I tried both the gizmo (massacre) and then pushpull… which gave me an entirely new polysurface as a result: [image] (Also uploaded via uploader.) Again, I sort of understand why it fails but I’m trying to move as quickly as I can here because I’m sketching, and untrim…

Maybe these last two PushPull examples should be split to a new thread, but here’s another one also via the uploader: [image] EDIT: But this last one surprisingly works with the gumball, even though it’s a curved surface… not sure why… :sweat_smile:

When will Rhino get more intelligent Polysurface handling?
