C# trimmed surfaces becomes untrimmed

by Jes Tonsgaard

Nov 26, 2010

Hi All,

I'm doing a C# script to sort similar surfaces on a geodesic dome.

The input surfaces are - in the script - placed in a list that i declare like this:
List<Surface> out2 = new List<Surface>();

However, when they are outputted, they are untrimmed...

Is there another type to use for trimmed surfaces?!

    Hi Jes,

    use List<Brep>. RhinoCommon Surfaces are full surfaces in reality.
    Breps should be able to contain the information that you need.

    Hope it helps,

      Hello Jes.

      I'm actually trying achieve what your problem caused. But my skills in C++ are quite poor so I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing you code or helping me a bit? What i'm seeking is a module which takes the trimmed surfaces and remaps them to untrimmed.

        hi jes, so the best is to use the brep input and use the faces like you are using surfaces

         

        List<Brep> my_breps = new List<Brep>();
        my_breps.Add(brep_in);
        my_breps[the index of the list].Faces[always zero if it is a single surface]......... do what ever you want to do
         A = my_breps[0].Faces[0].DuplicateFace(true);

         

        by using the brep objects you can do more freaky things with it for example if you join the surfaces you can find out the relationships of the surfaces
