Ah, got it, thanks!

Do you create mesh faces that run the length of the struts and then let the subdivision do its thing, or do you create rows of mesh faces along the length of the struts with a proportioned length?

exoskeleton for curves is a great idea!

They do...the component I'm talking about is under Mesh->Util->Mesh WeldVertices

I think I have their tools... I downloaded them but they don't have their own toolbar in GH, right? Or have I done something wrong? I thought they just enhanced to mesh components in the GH Mesh menu???

Do you have [UTO]'s meshedit tools? They have a weld component in there that is really great...one of the issues that I often find when working with meshes is that mesh vertices are captured as Point3f objects and other geometries use Point3d objects...sometimes the rounding differences between them results in vertices that are just off from one another. Their weld component has a variable tolerance built in and just powers right through.

This looks great!

I'm stuck trying to get my strut meshes to weld to my node meshes. Do you know if there is some trick to getting edges to weld together? They are all colinear, but I'm not sure if they have the same direction or if that matters.
