Background

The "CreaseSplitting" command is in a V4 Labs plug-in called SurfaceCreases.rhp. This is an update to the Rhino V3 plug-in and command. This command will be built into Rhino V5. V3 users requested that we provide a V4 version of this plug-in and command.

Crease Splitting Overview

The CreaseSplitting command line looks like

  Split creased surfaces into smooth polysurfaces ( SplitAlongCreases=Yes/No )

If SplitAlongCreases=Yes, then when Rhino surface creation commands like ExtrudeCrv create a surface with a crease, the result will be a polysurface that has edges at creases.

If SplitAlongCreases=No, then when Rhino surface creation commands like ExtrudeCrv create a surface with a crease, the result will be a single surface with creases.
