[GiDlist] Dividing of NURBS surfaces

[My VDI Freemail]

Hallo All,

Although I feel quite comfortable with GiD and its functionalities, I did not manage to get a division of NURBS surfaces through edit divide surface split.
Though I generated points directly on the boundary lines as well as on the surface I always get the error message, that the surface could not be subdivided and a point on the boundary should be checked.
What is the procedure to use this surface division?

Are there any plans to implement the merging of NURBS surfaces, which are not 2D, but general 3D?

Additionally I found a bug in the utilities copy feature: even with the duplicate entries flag disabled, the entities always will be duplicated (this is not really an issue, but the flag does not work).

Thanks in advance for your answers with regard to the surface splitting.

Hello,

To use funcion 'split', the spliting line must already be intersected
with the boundary lines of the surface. In your case, before using 'split'
you should use something line 'Geometry-Create intersection-Line-line' or
'Geometry-Edit-Divide-Near point' or similar.

Function 'Copy' with the flag 'duplicate entries' unset, should work
correctly.
Please send a model where there is any problem with it.

Regards,
