Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi All,

I have a workflow in Rhino for creating Solids from planar curves (needed for SolidWorks), however i'm totally clueless recreating this in grasshopper or compose an alternative. Any help would be much appriciated.

Rhino Workflow:

First I create planar surfaces from a set of planar curves using PlanarSrf command. This is followed by selecting all new planar surfaces and enable Gumball. I drag the surface and by Alt clicking it makes a copy of this surface, and automatically makes a Solid (inspired by this example). (If I use just ExtrudeSrf it just extrudes the edges and doesn't make a Solid)

just check "solid" in the extrusion command line.

wow, that was simple.

Any possibility to include this option in GH, the normal extrude bulding block doen't provide this.

I think you can use the "Cap" component which caps the ends

The cap only places planar surfaces or curved surfaces in the open portions, does not add internal information to the model so that it is a solid. I have the same problem because I need two really solid objects that have digital information inside them, not just objects enclosed by surfaces.
