Surface Subdivision
5-Feb-08
to 12-Mar-08
The problem of how to evenly subdivide a surface is a common one in my job. Most commercial tools will subdivide simple, untrimmed surfaces very well but have difficulties, or simply cannot use, trimmed surfaces. I expanded a script begun by Onur Gun and Thomas Brown to deal with creating trimmed edge panels. I do this by rebuilding the surface to its untrimmed state, creating "phantom" full edge panels and finding where they intersect with the edges of the trimmed surface. All coding in RhinoScript.
