algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Hi all
I'm pretty new to Grasshopper so please just let me know if this is commmon knowledge and I just have to watch some tutorials or read some basic guides (in that case please leave a link)
I have made a pretty basic script (it is called a script?) where I'm revolving some (between 100 and 300) nurbs curve around themself creating alot of "Closed breps" on a curved surface. I whould like to use these breps as a cutting tool into a Nurbs object i made in Rhino.
But when I try to bake them and use "boolean difference" in Rhino nothing is happening and even if I'll try to union the baked closed breps I will say "boolean union failed".
If i try to join them in Grasshopper with "Brep join" or use "Solid difference" nothing is happening either.
The funny thing is if I make 5 or 10 breps (instead of the 100-300) everything works fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!

boolean union generally doesn't do well with hundreds of solids... I can't think of any way to make a single continuous solid from the kind of geometry you've shown. In general when you try to intersect/union/difference geometry with exactly co-planar faces (like the tops of your shapes) rhino tends to fail.
