Overkill

šŸ’» Rhino 5

šŸ”¼ Rhino Script

šŸ› ļø Visual Basic

Ā 

Note: This is a very old and not very efficient script, you should always try _SelDup first.

In using laser cut files directly out of Rhino, I consistently found the need for a command similar to ā€œoverkillā€ in Autocad for Rhino. In addition, those pesky overlapping surfaces which create render artifacts and kill render time just needed a quick fix. Though it is only able to detect points, curves, or surfaces, future adaptations for polysurfaces and possibly meshes are in the works. However, for what it does this Rhino Script has been helpful.
