Boolean after NURBS conversion 2005-05-15 - By mendrak
Back
I was starting down the union path, but it seemed pretty laborious.
I'd be very interested in the plugin code you've got. I was sitting
here thinking that
maybe I'd try and write a plugin that would fix seams between objects in
a group,
if there wasn't already a tool like that, but maybe the better answer is
to convert NURBS planes
as a single object.
If you have a plugin that is close, I'd definately play with it.
Of course the crazy thing is, that I'd spend lots more time
writing/debugging code than I would
doing the union, but maybe it would help for the next one :-).
