algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Hi there,
I'm trying to create a Mesh object from a given topology. So far I haven't been able to find a direct way of doing this (feeding it directly with the topology that is...). Closed thing I found is this old example based on the ON_Mesh object:

Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Joost

Michael, thanks for your reply. However, I'm trying to implement a method able to create a Mesh object in a custom component. Currently I have a List<Point> (Vertices) and a List<int[]> (Topology) pointing to the Vertices for each face. I tried to do it by creating a mesh for each individual Face and then add this Face to the Mesh:
//initiate the output mesh
Mesh mesh = new Mesh();
MeshingParameters meshParameters = new MeshingParameters();
//create the output mesh
meshParameters = MeshingParameters.Coarse;
meshParameters.RefineGrid = false;
meshParameters.MinimumEdgeLength = 500;
//loop over the breps of the faces creating a single mesh for each element
foreach (RTFace face in meshTopology.Faces)
{
Mesh[] meshTriangle = new Mesh[0];
meshTriangle = Mesh.CreateFromBrep(face.Brep, meshParameters);
mesh.Append(meshTriangle[0]);
}
This however seems cumbersome, and doesn't return the proper results as it splits Faces, and contains many duplicate nodes.
Any suggestions?
Guess I was looking for something simple like this:
Rhino.Geometry.Mesh mesh = new Rhino.Geometry.Mesh();
mesh.Vertices.Add(0.0, 0.0, 1.0); //0
mesh.Vertices.Add(1.0, 0.0, 1.0); //1
mesh.Vertices.Add(2.0, 0.0, 1.0); //2
mesh.Vertices.Add(3.0, 0.0, 0.0); //3
mesh.Vertices.Add(0.0, 1.0, 1.0); //4
mesh.Vertices.Add(1.0, 1.0, 2.0); //5
mesh.Vertices.Add(2.0, 1.0, 1.0); //6
mesh.Vertices.Add(3.0, 1.0, 0.0); //7
mesh.Vertices.Add(0.0, 2.0, 1.0); //8
mesh.Vertices.Add(1.0, 2.0, 1.0); //9
mesh.Vertices.Add(2.0, 2.0, 1.0); //10
mesh.Vertices.Add(3.0, 2.0, 1.0); //11
mesh.Faces.AddFace(0, 1, 5, 4);
mesh.Faces.AddFace(1, 2, 6, 5);
mesh.Faces.AddFace(2, 3, 7, 6);
mesh.Faces.AddFace(4, 5, 9, 8);
mesh.Faces.AddFace(5, 6, 10, 9);
mesh.Faces.AddFace(6, 7, 11, 10);
mesh.Normals.ComputeNormals();
