Rhino patch in Grasshopper

Hi,

just took a look in the sdk looking for the Rhino command "patch".

And this is what I found:

Public Function RhinoCreateEdgeSrf(ByRef curves As array) As OnBrep

Since I haven't started to learn how to write VB-code yet, I just wonder if someone could tell me if RhinoCreateEdgeSrf does the same as "patch" - that is, creates a surface from the selected edges.

Yes.
All you need is some basic text replacement in the code - see attached definition.

Marc - Thanks for the great work! This is very, very helpful.

...........................
I'm so glad that you replied my question.what I mean is just how to bake GH object to rhino and how to select the object just baked in GH to make it a GH object?

In GH 06,i can write something like this:

..........................................
Dim bakedList As New List(Of MRhinoCurveObject)
For Each Crv As OnCurve In CrvList
Dim newCrv As MRhinoCurveObject = doc.AddCurveObject(crv)
newCrv.Select()

bakedlist.Add(newCrv)
Next
.............................
Dim go As New MRhinoGetObject()
go.EnablePreSelect(True)
go.EnablePostSelect(False)
go.GetObjects(0, 0)
If go.ObjectCount <> 0 Then
Dim objref As MRhinoObjRef = go.Object(0)
Dim objBrep As onBrep = objref.Brep

A = objBrep
............................
but in the new sdk,i just find the right class and method to make it right...

Look forward your answer.

Thank you !!

How would you go to add other options for the -Patch command?

I wanted to add a parameter StartingSurface for the patch, but I can't manage to make it work... something with data types not being the correct ones...

app.RunScript("_-patch PointSpacing=1 Stiffness=.1 AdjustTangency=Yes AtumaticTrim=Yes StartingSurface=" & startingSrf & " uSpans=" & uSpans & " vSpans=" & vSpans & " _Enter")

I pass the starting srf as an input... as OnSurface...

Any insights??
Thanks
Daniel
