You may not use all of those commands for getting your model ready for the further steps with Grasshopper. On the other hand, there are other difficulties and ways of reaching your goal. If you need an other Rhino command regarding meshes, please visit this site.

- ReduceMesh
- If you haven't scanned an object but downloaded a high res 3d object / mesh, you can simplify this. You'll probably need this a simpler mesh later when working with Grasshopper.
The ReduceMesh command decreases the polygon mesh face count while minimizing geometric and texture distortion.
- ShowEdges
- To make edges – respectively holes – visible, use the ShowEdges command.
- You can then either use MatchMeshEdge for smaller openings or manually select those with FillMeshHole.
- MatchMeshEdge
The MatchMeshEdge command moves face edges of an open mesh to meet adjacent face edges.
