New Cap Holes Ex (CapEX)

Cap Holes Ex doesn´t seem to work as promoted by the icon. It tells me it added caps as well, but I don´t see them in the baked solution. Are there certain restrictions in concave/convex?

p.s.: just love this new Export Quick Image...

Yeah Cap Ex isn't smart enough yet. It will add a cap but most likely that cap will be coincident with existing faces of the brep. It needs a lot of extra code to make sure the caps are actually useful.

I see. Then there was another thing about caps:

● Added Cap Holes component for capping non-planar holes in breps (Surface.Util dropdown).

In my version such a component is not present. The tooltip for the regular [Cap Holes] also just indicates planar holes.

If it was there, I´d suppose it´s more less like [Brep Edges]+[Patch]+[Brep Join], right?

That entry is about Cap Holes Ex. It should work on holes that have polyline boundaries. It does work, it just creates caps are that often coincident with the brep.
