Hi, 

 

I try to rectangle-mesh a surface as shown in the picture. Is it possible to accomplish that automatically by selecting all the points and create rectangles in-between. At the moment I do it with the ruled tool line-by-line. 

 

thanks, J

    Using ruled option you can mesh this part easily. Is it must to have connectivity with internal temp nodes? If it is equally distributed, then with ruled option it is possible to achieve this mesh.

    Yes, it's possible to it with ruled option. I'm doing it this way. BUT is it possible to select all the nodes at once and then create the surface at once? With ruled option one has to select two times a line of nodes and then connect them. This is quite an effort.
