    • You need a surface to cut a mesh. Use the Surface command to do this.

    • The MeshSplit command divides meshes into parts with another object, in this case your surface.

    • If you haven't scanned an object but downloaded a high res 3d object / mesh, you can simplify this. You'll need this 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.


  • FillMeshHoles
    • If you have openings in your mesh which you'd like to close, use the FillMeshHole command.
