had a look at the difference in the code… it uses two different routines MNMeshUtilities::BridgeSelectedBorders and IMNMeshUtilities8::BridgeSelect…

when you bridge between 2 edges they can be considered as two 2d polygons as projections onto a common plane. It can simplify the resulting comparison…

think I’d go with a two 2D shapes approach

you can do it as a general case like this –******************************************************************** fn OnSelectionBorder item = item[1]…

what algorithm are you using ? odd speed time variations
