Hi there
I’ve been trying to edit my existing extrusions on a site to adapt to my design. The first 2 layers worked, i’m unsure how, and I can’t get the next layers to work.
I’m trying to do a simple wirecut, just straight down, using my new lines to do this.
Have i dont something wrong with the layers? or maybe with the option project lines being on? the coloured lines are the new lines i want to use to cut into terrain.
Hi Chloe - please post a file with the cutters and the targets, or, if it is confidential, please send to tech@mcneel.com with a link back here in your comments.

if you look from top view, you can see which each contour needs to be adapted too
Hi Chloe - your curves have stacked control points,
so far this seems like at least part of the problem.

I have deleted out the extra curve points and simplified the curves, however i still can’t wirecut. a closed curve worked but not an open curve

Hi @Chloe_Joubert
If what you are trying to do, is cutting the top surface with the black curve, you need to close the sides of the top surface, eg. using Loft
.
The sides and the back are naked, and
WireCut
needs a closed (poly-)surface; at least where the cut is, as you’ve already seen with the closed curve in the middle.Once you close off the open edges, it’ll wirecut just fine.
