Grandtour, You can obtain faces, edges, and vertices from BRep Components. If you join the edge curves (with GH 0.6) this will give you the same results as the Rhino duplicate border command. Planar Srf will create surfaces from a collection of planar edge curves. -taz On Apr 13, 2:08 pm

oompa, This is an old school answer, but the best way to make triangular mesh faces from scratch is to not really make them from scratch. Create a mesh surface and remap the vertices into triangular faces. http://groups.google.com/group/grasshopper3d/web/triMeshFace.jpg -taz On Apr 15, 4:29

If you bake the GH mesh from the image above and _Weld you would then get a single mesh with 25 triangular faces and 21 vertices (instead of 25 meshes with a single triangular face joined into a single mesh). On Apr 15, 10:16 pm, taz tzez...@gmail.com wrote: I'll be darned, the trees worked
