Thanks this is kinda like what I want but I wanted to create a surface composed of small triangles. But thanks a lot for your post.

Cheers, Simon

triangles...so a mesh?

Sort of. I tried using mesh from points but the mesh from points component centres the triangles on the points. and thus overhangs the original surface. I will post a manulally created version of the surface I want on here in a bit. At the moment I am doing some Python training with http://www.geometrydepth.com/python-class-coming-next/. Thanks for replying.

Hi Florian,

Here is an image of the surface I am trying to create it is actually a collection of lots of small triangulated surfaces not a mesh or a fuild surface. I have put the python script into a definition now but there must be something missing with the code because it still dosen't work and don't know why.

 

Appreciate the help so far. Thanks Si

Hi Simon,

Sorry for my late reply i was busy yesterday...Does it look like this? It's a Delaunay Mesh...
