Naked Edges problem

Hi All;

I am having a bit of a dilemma that's dragging on for too long with this one;

I have this lofted poly surface generated from some lines that are not coplanar, I mesh the surface using rhino, turn on jagged edges and make sure all the surfaces are on the right direction, make the mesh, weld, join etc. and still get a lot of naked edges.

I'm looking to restrain only the top and bottom parts of the form. I know the meshes are not joining because they're not touching at the vertices. But Is there any way to get this form, and void this problem?

Attached are all the files.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Chap.

What is your objective? Why use grasshopper for this?

Hi.

In my opinion, The problem is your initial polysurface. I modified yours a little bit.(eliminate redundant surfaces...& Rejoining) and now it works fine to me. Best.

Daniel, I tried working this out this using Kangaroo 2 which is MUCH more efficient (I have a horrible computer). I used the Soapfilm example but it kept throwing weird results.

Hyungsoo! Thanks so much! I appreciate your help,

The surface is generated from curves which follow a certain geometry, I will try overlapping with that geometry to see if it still matches after you mods. I knew the problem is in the polysurface.. i went as far as trieng to clear these curves before lofting but still failed. I'll take a look tonight.. THANKS! (btw, great work on your blog :)
