MeshWorks for Rhino is a plug-in for Rhino 2.0. It adds a variety of mesh manipulation commands to Rhino. Some of the useful commands are given below: Hollow: This command hollows the mesh to a given wall thickness. Hollowing is particularly useful while preparing a model for Rapid Prototyping as it saves material, time and money while building a prototype. Offset: This command offsets a mesh to either shrink or expand it. Stitch: This command knits loosely tied faces of a mesh and attempts to make a mesh water-tight. Fill Holes: This command adds faces to an existing mesh in order to fill any holes. The result is a water-tight mesh.
Extract Shells: This command extracts connected surfaces from a single mesh and creates a new mesh for each connected surface. This is useful while working on different parts of a mesh. Clip: This command cuts a mesh with a planar surface. Smoothen: This command relaxes a mesh by removing sharp edges. Decimate: This command reduces the number of faces of a mesh while maintaining continuity in the topology. MeshWorks for Rhino adds a new menu to the existing Rhino menu containing all the added commands. Simply use this menu to manipulate meshes."
