Can a Local Wireframe be Created from Linking Polylines?

Hey All,

Fairly experienced Leapfrog user here, but would like to know if anyone knows how to (or if there’s a way) to link polylines together to create a mesh/wireframe? I’ve never been the best at trying to explain my ‘3D thoughts’, but hopefully my question comes off clear enough!

When creating local cut and fill related wireframes from face mapping contacts I find it cumbersome and time consuming to create a “new vein” and define the HW and FW with polylines in the newly created vein.

Rather than creating “one polyline” encompassing both the HW and FW contacts, across every development round taken. Say there were 10 rounds, I would have 10 polyline’s created under one name. Is there a way to link all 10 of those polylines to create a wireframe?

I am asking because I know this can be done in another programing software, one that I dread every time I have to use it!

Thank you for your input, looking forward to using this forum more often!

    I think I understand what you want to do here and the answer is yes (sort of, see lower down).

    You can add additional polyline objects to an existing surface (in your case it sounds like a vein HW/FW). Add New Polyline. There is no real practical upper limit to this.

    Depending on how you collect your mapping data you may want to consider using attributes on the polylines for this along with some good query filters.

    The "sort of" is referring to that Leapfrog will still interpolate between the data so there is no "connect" like you see in CAD software.

    Below is an example where I have used attributes for the vein. But it could also have been individual objects per section in my case.

    The only way is forward!
