Frequent question: How do you convert Polysurface to solid in Rhino?

How do you make a Polysurface solid in Rhino?

Move a polysurface face. Move the edge of an untrimmed polysurface face. Move an untrimmed polysurface face. Remove the selected surfaces from a polysurface, and then offset the remaining surfaces to create a solid with a specified thickness.

How do you solidify an object in rhino?

Create solid object from curves or surfaces



Drive surface edges in a straight line to create a solid. Create a surface, polysurface, or extrusion object with a circular profile around a curve. Extrude a curve in two directions to a boundary surface. Offset a polyline, and extrude and cap the result to create a solid.

How do you close a Polysurface in rhino?

when you use the command ShowEdges you see that some are not joined, there are small gaps. then join and use the command cap it will close the object.

How do you make an extrusion solid in Rhino?

To make a solid extrusion from a closed planar curve, make sure Solid=Yes at the command line in ExtrudeCrv . If the curve used to create the extrusion is closed but not planar, then EdgeSrf (prefered if it works) or Patch can be used to close the ends. Then Join with the extrusion surfaces to form a solid.

Is a closed Polysurface a solid in Rhino?

Mitch says: The official terminology for a closed solid in Rhino is a closed polysurface. A solid has no naked edges. That’s a concise definition.

Can you extrude a Polysurface Rhino?

Extrudes use a base curve or surface to make an open or closed shape. Extrusions can be polysurfaces or lightweight extrusion objects.

How do you loft a solid in Rhino?

The Loft command fits a surface through selected profile curves that define the surface shape. Select the curves in the order in which the surface should pass through them. Select open curves near the same ends. For closed curves, adjust the curve seams.

How do you change mesh to surface in Rhino?

Converting a Mesh to a Solid in Rhino

1. Apply Mesh > Mesh Repair > Fill Holes to all component meshes.
2. Apply Mesh > Mesh Repair > Unify Normals to all component meshes.
3. Join all component meshes with Mesh > Mesh Boolean > Union.
4. Enter “MeshtoNURB” at the command line to convert mesh to solid.

How do I make my extrusion longer in rhino?

If the extrusion is vertical use Command-Drag or Move > Vertical to constrain the point. Gumball can also help. My favourite is to command+click the extruded edge(s) , or surface if extruded solid, and pull with GumBall. You can do this but it will no longer be an extrusion object, if that matters.
