"Hi Elliot:   I typically select them during the extract surface command and then delete them.  I'm not sure that one could automate that.  I don't know how I would differentiate between the internal surface and all the other…"

"If this was your end point, then you could bake the object.  Once baked use the extract surface command in rhino to extract the interior surfaces and then delete them. If this is an interim step this would not be the way to go. "

"I have to say that I don't hate icons myself but that isn't the issue. When I'm trying to solve a problem I want the description of what a component does not its subjective iconic representation.  Personally I remember the…"

"Neat...I'll look forward to it.  Of course by then I hope I won't really be needing it ;-)"

"Yep...I was not intending to criticize one camp or the other.  Just needed a little helping hand to understand the current example. You must admit that the text labels are, at least, searchable whereas the icons are not.   "

"Yes they are very nice.   Couple of comments though:  1) I don't think its a good idea for labels to repeat. 2) Some of us have better text memory than image memory and unless you use them all the time they are not easy to remember…"

"HI:  Just a small request for those of us who aren't as familiar with the icons.  Could you post this with the "text" labels rather than the icons?  It's hard searching through the tabs to find out what they mean…"

"For an example of Geodesic Dome a script written by Gabriel Krause, difficult enough, but giving excellent splitting."

"Hi friends. In the definition I have found out serious errors over which now I work. The basic idea was to arrange objects structured on hexagonal grid according to curvature and non-uniformity of a surface. As it is known with hexagons it is…"

"This is an interesting problem and I've been thinking about it a great deal. When I first started experimenting with this, if you look at my earlier GH, I used divide by length upon the ISOcurves rather than number, where length was the fixed…"

" Waht is missing is how to change the radius of the sphere in order to make tangent to the one next to it. Maybe somebody else has an idea ? In this case it is link to the curvature of the dome which can be turn into a function."

"Hi Anjy:  Try this surface and see what you can do with it. "

"Hi Igor and Anjy:  Try playing around with this surface.  I've been messing with it a bit and have had some peculiar results.  I'm interested in seeing what you fellows can do with it."

"I'll give it a shot...thanks.  First I'll have to understand it. All the best Al "

"Hi Igor, I don´t get the correction default radius of your definition , the point is to create a definition where sphere are perfectly tangent. Do you think it can be achieved or maybe it is already the case ,if yes why these corrections ?"

"you may want to try this to dreate the grid you need on the surface of your choice. "
