algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi there,

I'm writing a vb.net component, which attempts to trim a freeform surface (brep1) using an open-ended cylinder (brep2). So far the code is simply:

Dim bb() As Brep

bb = brep1.Trim(brep2, 0.01)

A = bb

The problem is that it doesn't matter which way I flip the input surface normal directions, the trim always returns the larger surface with a circular hole. Actually what I want is just the circular hole. The documentation implies that the orientation of the cylinder should affect which piece is returned.

Any suggestions?

It's working fine on my computer. Try flipping the direction of one of the surface parameters (_Dir command and then click on UReverse, for example). If it's still not working try posting the geometry.

Is there a reason for not capping the cylinder?
