It would be helpful if the ! _ExtendSrf command has its own “Copy=Yes” option in the Command line, so that the extended surface will co-exist with the original surface. That option should remember the “Yes” or “No” during the session. [Extend surface Copy]

Got that, thanks RH-78247 ExtendSrf: Copy=YesNo -Pascal

Thank you, @pascal ! I see that it’s scheduled for Rhino 9, so maybe waiting for 3 more years. That is still better than not having the option at all. :slight_smile: Cheers! P.S.: I noticed that there is no link directing to this thread in the page you provided.

it is possible with a macro: [image] Share your favourite scripts, macros and plug-ins example: extendSrf …and it also works to infiltrate the copy option into a single command that does not offer this option: _extendSrf _pause _pause _sellast _copytoclipboard _undo _paste

Sorry for the question, but what exactly is the point of making a copy of an extension if there is already the possibility of trimming and possibly keeping the two parts separate? A practical example, I’m missing something…

It does not work in my Rhino 7. Maybe because I always use History?

[image] Share your favourite scripts, macros and plug-ins _extendSrf _pause _pause _sellast _copytoclipboard _undo _paste I checked with history and it works fine here. even nicer with redraw off: _extendSrf _pause _pause _SetRedrawOff _sellast _copytoclipboard _undo _paste _SetRedrawOn at …

[image] Tom_P: _selNone _extendSrf _pause _pause _SetRedrawOff _sellast _copytoclipboard _undo _paste _SetRedrawOn None of these solutions works in my Rhino 7. Here is a short video where I had to manually press the “Paste” icon to get the extended copy of the original surface. Not sure why i…

did you try with the _macroEditor instead of copy paste the macro ? what is really strange: the command “_Paste” from the macro is echoed in the command line and if it would be a typo I would expect a “unkown command” as feedback… [Screenshot 2023-11-12 at 01.56.03] and the second _Paste looks…
