Hello  Barend,
Thanks for your quick response.

Some of the ring are open, and some are close. For the open ring, it is not
easy to close, since the self-intersection may happen, also some open ring
do contact with some close ring.

I do have other projects which may use this in the future, when you have
time, please give a detail example or explanation.
Thanks,
