Extrude Base (with undercuts fixing)

Right now the algorithm is based on voxels conversion, so result mesh is completely rebuild. (this particular algorithm requires closed mesh on input, so if mesh is open we close it ourselves before applying).

We will consider implementing another algorithm or an option in this one to support open mesh.

Methods

Now there is no simple way to preserve boundary after calling fixUndercuts because it rebuilds mesh completely.

One thing you can try is something like this:

1.Save boundary as polyline 2.Call fixUndercuts 3.Project saved polyline to mesh and move it a little up

asmesh/source/MRMesh/MRContoursCut.h

Lines 97 to 106 in d717e06

/** \ingroup BooleanGroup 
 * \brief Makes continuous contour by iso-line from mesh tri points, if first and last meshTriPoint is the same, makes closed contour 
 * 
 * Finds shortest paths between neighbor \p surfaceLine and build offset contour on surface for MR::cutMesh input

    float offset, SearchPathSettings searchSettings = {} );

4.Cut mesh above old boundary asmesh/source/MRMesh/MRContoursCut.h

Lines 219 to 235 in d717e06

/** \ingroup BooleanGroup 
 * \brief Cuts mesh by given contours 
 *  
 * This function cuts mesh making new edges paths on place of input contours 
 * \param mesh Input mesh that will be cut 
 * \param contours Input contours to cut mesh with, find more \ref MR::OneMeshContours

 * \return New edges that correspond to given contours, find more \ref MR::CutMeshResult 
 * \parblock 
 * \warning Input contours should have no intersections, faces where contours intersects (`bad faces`) will not be allowed for fill 
 * \endparblock 
 * \parblock 
 * \warning Input mesh will be changed in any case, if `bad faces` are in mesh, mesh will be spoiled, \n 
 * so if you cannot guarantee contours without intersections better make copy of mesh, before using this function 
 * \endparblock

MRMESH_API CutMeshResult cutMesh( Mesh& mesh, const OneMeshContours& contours, const CutMeshParameters& params = {} ); 

5.Stitch cut place with old boundary asmesh/source/MRMesh/MRMeshFillHole.h

Lines 85 to 106 in d717e06

/** \brief Stitches two holes in Mesh\n 
 * 
 * Build cylindrical patch to fill space between two holes represented by one of their edges each,\n 
 * default metric: ComplexStitchMetric

 * \sa \ref StitchHolesParams 
 */ 
MRMESH_API void buildCylinderBetweenTwoHoles( Mesh & mesh, EdgeId a, EdgeId b, const StitchHolesParams& params = {} ); 

Result might look somehow like this:

Red - fixed area
Yellow - strip of original mesh
Green - stitched area

Extrude

Examples

vector<OneMeshContour> contours;
contours.push_back(result.value().back());

auto resultCut = cutMesh(meshIn, contours).resultCut;
contours.clear();
contours.shrink_to_fit();

auto mesh0 = fillContourLeft(meshIn.topology, resultCut);
auto mesh1 =meshIn.topology.getValidFaces()- mesh0;

Mesh cutMesh0 = Mesh();
cutMesh0.addPartByMask(meshIn, mesh0);
Mesh cutMesh1 = Mesh();
cutMesh1.addPartByMask(meshIn, mesh1);

for (Vector3f v :aaaa) 
{
    cutMesh1.addPoint(v);
}

EdgePath edgePath = cutMesh1.topology.findHoleRepresentiveEdges();
EdgeLoop edgeLoop = trackRightBoundaryLoop(cutMesh1.topology, edgePath.front());

EdgeId e0 = edgeLoop.front();
EdgeId e1 = cutMesh1.addSeparateEdgeLoop(aaaa);

MR::StitchHolesParams params;
params.metric = getEdgeLengthStitchMetric(cutMesh1);

buildCylinderBetweenTwoHoles(cutMesh1, e0, e1.sym(), params);

Create a Closed Mesh by Extruding

Use addBaseToPlanarMesh() function for it (but make sure to orient mesh in XY plane), or you can call fillHole after extruding.
