Starling
Starling_0.2 mesh tools. These components enable mesh parametrization, so it behaves like a surface - you can evaluate points at any place etc.
In 0.2 release, Starling enabled quasi-polyhedral mesh tools. These new components are organized in a new panel called "Alchemists" :
How do they work ? You create polyline and each component converts it into polygonal mesh. Then it computes what it has to do. In the end component outputs polylines again, changed in some manner depending on components function.
Why truncation and dual ? Because with these two operations you can make most of mesh operations as described HERE. I.e. ambo (rectify) is truncation with amount of 1.
Special thanks to : Michael Pryor for constant help&support and David Rutten for great advices.
It's highly recommended to use Starling with Weaverbird and [uto] MeshEdit.
More examples explaining new components soon.
slExamples : Rapid minimal surfaces with Sl and Wb
This example shows how to make minimal surfaces with multiple breps. To make it work, reference some open, intersecting breps from Rhino (or create them with GH). They need to be open, and their naked edges cant intersect with any of solid (blue edges).

Hi Mateusz,
Nice Job. But I am having a little issue with the first example. When I open it, I do not get a minimal surface. This is what I get (attached image). I played with the sliders but I don't get anywhere close to the animated gif on your post just above. Thanks for the help.
