Change surface degree

Change surface degree

- [Instructor] Hello and welcome. I have my exercise file open already, and I have a surface here within Grasshopper. One thing to note, this surface is a one-degree surface, and by default, Rhino has a property or a functionality called crease splitting. And if it has a one-degree surface, it will break that surface up into a bunch of patch surfaces that are joined together as a polysurface to avoid having creases within one-degree surfaces. If you want to turn that off, you can type in CreaseSplitting. You can disable it, and then when you bake this, you actually get a true one-degree surface in Rhino. Not critical for the exercise that we're doing, but just wanted to note because depending on what your setting is, you might see different things when you bake this geometry in Rhino. So I'm going to turn the crease splitting back on. And what we're going to set up is a really simple custom C# component. Again, we're…
