K2 Flatten Polygon

Hi all,

I'm trying to flatten Ngon vertices to create flat panels on a complex geometry. I've followed a previous thread, but am unable to get the solution to work.

I'd appreciate any help on this!

Hi Nathaniel,

I think that some of the lines you have are too short for default settings. Just giving 0.0001 tolerance to solver is getting it to work.

But i have also changed it a bit and added few more constraints (Coincident) in attempt to lose those small polygons that will probably give you bad results in joints.

I hope this is useful.

Hi Mladen,

Thanks for your help! Changing the tolerance did get the solver to start work, but it won't flatten completely; ideally I could have the resulting polylines defining a planar surface for further operations.

In your revised definition, what are you pulling into your inputs?

Thanks again.

Nathaniel
