Beta

These docs cover RhinoArtisan 7.0, which is still in beta. The contents are provisional: features and pages can still be added, changed or removed before the final release.

Cap

Cap

The Cap command fills planar holes in objects with planar faces.

It is caplable of capping surfaces, Meshes and SubDs.

Command-line options (Mesh/SubD only)

-DeleteInput: Specify if the input object will be deleted.

-Crease

  • Yes: Do not weld the vertices along the cap boundary.
  • No: Welds the vertices along the cap boundary.
  • Triangles
    • Yes: Fills a planar opening in a SubD or mesh with triangle faces.
  • No: Fills a planar opening in a SubD with a single face, or in a mesh with an n-gon.

Aditional Notes

Caps will always be made up of triangles when:

  • A SubD or mesh cap has a hole (an inner boundary).
  • Any part of the outer boundary of a SubD cap is not convex.

You can use the MergeFaces command to combine the triangles into a single face as needed.
