Surface Creation - Workflow? I've hit a frustrating wall.

Surface Creation - Workflow?

I have three curves, all in different planes. Normally, in Rhino, I'd just pull a quick 'Surface > Edge Curves' to create a surface from these... and it's functionality that I'm not finding within Grasshopper. Of course I can easily 'Bake' the three lines into Rhino and work from there, but I'd really rather not loose the parametric/editable nature of the geometry. If anyone has a moment for my problem, please take a look. -Three object/component curves "var_Crv" are to the far right of the Canvas. It's probably something very simple.

Hello all, I'm a beginner in Grasshopper so if I'm not make sense so please bear with me.

How to get the outline of overlapped shapes?

I've generated some snowflakes in 2D with a messy grasshopper script (is this how it's called?) And I'm having a hard time to get the outline profile of each of them. I tried using Region Union and some of the bits came up missing randomly. I also tried Mesh Shadow but it's not giving me just the outline profile (it's giving me the internal lines as well). I tried baking it and then use the Rhino command MeshOutline onto each of them individually and it works sometimes, but it's still missing some random pieces sometimes.

Is there a way to elegantly and perfectly trace out the outline profiles of each of the snowflakes? I've attached the GH file and a screenshot to explain my problem. Thanks, Ching Tags: outline, profile Attachments: How to change Planar Surface Trims And Best Fit Rectangles. I don't know if I can, but I want to get more control over the rectangular bounds used for planar surfaces. In the photos below, you can see how some planar surfaces, when untrimmed are aligned to the world coordinate system, while others are aligned to to the edges of the regions used to make them. Is there a way that I can define the plane for each one? Tags: Attachments: ▶ Reply to This. Archive » Triangulate Surface Grasshopper Definition.
