I`ve done negative polyextrude to have cutter for hollowing my mesh. I wan`t to have thin layer (few mm). Whole item is about 1-3 meters. I`ve done it in way: - boolean as surfaces to slice intersections - polyframe to group areas to select it manually and delete unwanted strips (as islands) - intersectionstitch to stitch raw areas after deleting strips (to have one shell mesh) It works but I wonder is there any better way for that (for removing intersections and stitch corners)? That final stitched mesh will be boolean cutter (negative) for positive original mesh. At the beginning I`ve started to play with IsoOffset but it was too heavy operation and It took too long. So that`s why I choose PolyExtrude. Other thing is IntersectionStitch node. I don`t understand why I should feed curve for it. I don`t unsderstand also that warning: “A triangle and curve mesh is required on the input for correct attribute output.”. What I`ve lost If I do not fed up IntersectionStitch with curve? Why I need those curve if final effect is good for me. It`s a bit strange becouse after IntersectionStitch I wanted to use Divide node to change most triangles to quads but It is not working. Nothing happened. So I feel that something lost during those IntersectionStitch. Thanks for any help. I`m basic Houdini user (I want to port my modeling from other 3d app).
