I am trying to extract, from a given Surface, all the closed polycurves that defines its perimeter. I tried using the Surface.PerimeterCurves node, however the PolyCurve.ByJoinedCurves node does not output the wanted result : indeed, the node seems to only connect curves into a unique wire and does not allow us to create as much closed curves as we need to correctly define the given surface.
Any idea on which node should replace the PolyCurve.ByJoinedCurves or on how to compute the wanted result by another way ?
You can find this node in archi-lab_grimshaw package.
and below the script from the node if you couldn’t find the package.

Points = (Potential_Match.StartPoint, Potential_Match.EndPoint)
for P1 in Points:
for P2 in (Current_Line.StartPoint, Current_Line.EndPoint):
distance = P1.DistanceTo(P2)
if distance <= ignore_distance:
Queue.add(Potential_Match)
Line_List = [item for item in Line_List if item not in Queue]
Grouped_Lines.append(Shape)
return Grouped_Lines
OUT = groupCurves(inputCurves)
