Best Of

I had the intention to create a feature like this and first had a look if someone else hadn't created it yet.

I stumbled upon this thread and used a little of the code as inspiration. thanks @Jacob_Corder

I decided to include 'approximate' as an option because the underlying precise bSpline data is also available and will also allow untrimming a bigger outside boundary

its far from complete in error-proofing, debug options, feedback etc, so not worth publishing yet, but i thought i'd share it here anyway:

for other surfaceTypes than bSpline surfaces, the code would need to use other create functions.

for some those are available, (like sphere), but not for all. so I'm not sure if that is going to work out to allow recreation without approximation. Moreover trimming to the outer boundary is going to be tricky i think (for the 'inner loop only' option.

I had assumed my colleague had a Pro license but unfortunately it is only a standard version

Thank you for you help
