Wish: Convert CPlane to surface

Rhino

What’s the difference between that and just drawing a plane surface on the CPlane?

Thanks.Just to see if it does. If it can be done then I can move or rotate or split something with it. Actually i want to toggle between cplane and this wished surface.

In Rhino 8, there is the InfinitePlane option in a number of commands (including Split) that allow you to use a virtual plane like the CPlane to split objects. Just run Split, select your objects, then type ip and enter:

Thank you for your reply.

This will make a plane surface from the active viewport’s CPlane to the grid extents:

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import scriptcontext as sc
import Rhino

def MakePlanarSrfFromCPlaneGrid():
    cp_obj=sc.doc.Views.ActiveView.ActiveViewport.GetConstructionPlane()
    quad=cp_obj.GridSpacing*cp_obj.GridLineCount
    iv=Rhino.Geometry.Interval(-quad,quad)
    srf=Rhino.Geometry.PlaneSurface(cp_obj.Plane,iv,iv) 
    sc.doc.Objects.AddSurface(srf)
    sc.doc.Views.Redraw()
MakePlanarSrfFromCPlaneGrid()

Nice :slight_smile: Is it possible to have exact same cplane as before from a plane?

CPlane>Surface will possibly do that…

It would be great if it is possible.

Sir, you made a script which creates surface from c plane.Is it possible to create a cplane from the same surface?

I think the answer was in the post above…
