How to generate surface with gensurf program?

Marija,

Have you considered using genblinds? This may simplify things a bit and give
you more control over the number of surfaces. You could introduce an object
in Sketchup and substitute is afterwards manually or by using instances.
good luck,
Casper

Thanks for answers,

After detailed analysis of lamellas' SKetchUp geometry, I decided to
simplify it a little bit - so I replaced curved parts with really small
radius with 2 polygons.
When exported number of surfaces per lamella is much smaller, and I still
get correct reflectances and overall blind transmittance, so I think this
simplified lamella geometry will work.

Since I need in building lots of blinds, so I'll surely use instances and
xform to put it all in building.

CU,
Marija.
