BOX MORPH on a Trimmed surface....?!

Hi everyone,

i am stuck with the following situation:

what i want to do is a simple box-morph-thing. i want to populate a surface with a "component" (in this case a hex-grid)....

BUT

the lofted surface i want to be populated is trimmed. So although trimmed nicely in rhino

the DIVIDE DOMAIN SQUARE comp seems to be interpolating the surface and to "ignore" the cut outs....

if I populate them (later on) the holes will not be existing anymore but "interpolated/populated" with the components (hex-grid or whatever) as well...

what I understand is that the rhino/GH surface is nurbs and not poly so there is always a kind of interpolation method used to generate such surface...

BUT

what to do to populate only the trimmed surface with the cut-outs?

Any ideas? is it possible with nurbs...? is it possible with a converted polysurface to be populated in gh later???

thx for any idea/help

dispatch the not wanted elements with the inside component. Thats one way, but depends on how you want to have the edges look like?

ok, i seem to get the point...(interesting comp-i did not know yet)

mmmh, would be cool if the edges look smooth... :) but what would be to expect...?

Do i get right when i expect the inside comp to "keep" or "delete" the specific points (wether inside the volume of the surface or not) and then i can use these point (0-3) for my subsrfaces...?! So then the edges would be like "pixeled" or with lower "antialias" values e.g
