Hi Mark,

You probably had a particular arrangement of curves for that, like a 4-sided boundary?

Unfortunately that would not work in the general cases, it would only work if you had a 3 or 4-sided boundary. For example if you had an outline made up of 5 curve segments it would not be able to be handled automatically by Network.

Yeah, I think this makes sense - I have put it on my list of things to try for v3.
For now you can run Boolean Union on the result with the shared internal wall, it should fuse those pieces together and remove that part.
> Do you have any plans for extrude?
Yup, I have a few different ideas - I'd like to make it easier for an extrusion to be automatically booleaned with an existing solid, like when you are extruding curves that are on an existing object, and also I'd like to have a tapered option for extrude.
