Technical Rhino question regarding capping an open polysurface..

nappy

Need your help guys!

Ok so I made a rather complex open polysurface (with open opening) that I cannot cap. All points of the opening are planar (just a simple circle).

anyway, I joined all the curvy surfaces up and they formed an open polysurface. I am supposed to be able to cap it (Cause i am following a tutorial) but am unable to.

Anyone know of potential problems? I can even send u the file if yall want..

That sounds strange. Send me the file:

*note: when emailing rhino files it is always good to do a "save as" and choose the "save small" option. This doesn't save the render mesh but it will be recreated if I switch to a rendered view. You're model is probably small to start but it is a good habit to aquire.

By the way, a much better place to ask this question is on the Rhino newsgroup. There are thousands of users on it and questions usually get answered quickly. The web version doesn't work so well but if you go through outlook or thunderbird that it is a lot more managable.

two things:

1. the opening is not closed: use CrvEnd to locate the gap in the curve.

2. the opening is not planar: F10, select the points of the curve, Setpt (align to cplanes, set to z)
