Hi

I'm trying to define a custom mesh for an object:


and I have no idea, how to avoid those sharp rectangles near the edges ... it's screwing up my displacement a bit, so i somehow have to get rid of them

Your mesh settings look a little strange, but it's hard to say much without knowing more about the the model. Just as a rough guess, try this:

• Density: 0.65
  Maximum angle: 0.0
  Maximum aspect ratio: 0.0
  Minimum edge length: 100.0
  Maximum edge length: 100.0
  Maximum distance, edge to edge: 0.0
  Minimum initial grid quads: 16
  ------------
  Refine mesh: on
  Jagged seams: off
  Simple planes: off
  Pack Textures: on

I might also recommend taking a look at this page, http://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/meshsettings, and see if it helps you get a better idea of what the different parameters do.

thanks a lot. turning off "simple planes" helped a lot. Don't know how I can get rid of those last triangles, but I think they won't afflict the displacement

Don't worry about getting rid of those triangles - the quads are going to be split by the plugin into similar triangles anyway during export, since Maxwell works exclusively with triangles.
