Hi,

currently there are no colors, layers, linestyles or other attributes in the Grasshopper SDK.

Thanks,

Is the question: How can I bake something with colour attributes assigned?

In which case use Giulio's BakeAttributes component, found here*: http://www.giuliopiacentino.com/grasshopper-tools/

if the question is "is it possible to change the rhino object color with grasshopper" then it can be divided into several points:

1) input object into the grasshopper. - easy, yeah?

2) inherit it (?) and delete object in rhino (?) instead, I suggest you to bake a new one on the different layer, and delete this one manually after

3) bake object in rhino using the script which Danny mentioned above.

Actually, I think that you can delete object automatically via lunchbox command component, at the same time with baking. You also can read objects layer with local code components.

Thank you. I have writed a code to preview the srf with different color. The color is difined by a data i get from every srf. It's about 3000 more srfs. The color are hundreds of kinds.

I use VB.net but the code from http://www.giuliopiacentino.com/grasshopper-tools/ is writed by C sharp.What's more the ghx I down load Can't perform well. There are two much errors.

This color problem really can't be solved in GH SDK? I am Waiting for The better replies. Thanks you all.

Thanks Huaxiamengqing,

so, maybe you mean you want to create a component that does the same of the 'Custom Preview' component, but that is able to bake? That is a good idea and I believe a possible one. If I remember correctly, David was going to do that at some point. Let's see what he says.

Otherwise, maybe you could upload a sample of what you have and what you would like (simplified)?

Cheers,

- Giulio

Hi Huaxiamengqing,

When you say:

What are the errors. Note if you haven't got matching data structures across the inputs you will not get the results you expect.

Please tell me which of the following you are trying to accomplish:

Change the colour of an object in Rhino using Grasshopper
Change the preview colour of Grasshopper geometry
Bake Grasshopper geometry with a specified object colour
Something else?

Hope you can open the attached file. There are more secure ways to always delete the old geometry from the document, let me know if my implementation is not consistent enough.
