Hi All,

I have just released an update to the add-on on Food4Rhino. Some bugs were fixed.

Added "Activate all bake components" button
Description component migrated to "AutoGraph" and will only be available in Elefront as legacy
When you create a cycle in description components, GH wil no longer crash
Materials are now assigned to layers and objects properly
A known bug with valuelist components and layer components is fixed
A bug in the "Duplicate Data Match" component is fixed
A bug in the "Graft Parallel" component is fixed

Comment by retroagent on March 19, 2017 at 11:56pm: Hi Ramon, Thanks again for the add-on. I've been using the export objects component especially, which I've had the best success exporting multiple geometries to a single file and including textures. One issue I've come across is that with the extension set to .obj, the rhino command line still spits out "Choose meshing option ( DetailedOptions PolygonDensity=50 ):" which requires a manual selection. Issuing a -_Export manually first and re-running the script has no change. I'm curious what syntax is required to force the export scheme of the component? Have not tested with other filetypes.

Comment by Ramon van der Heijden on December 14, 2016 at 3:11am: I have prepared a working sample file that demonstrates some of the functionalities. It is really just a drop on a hot plate, but it should give an idea of the different scenarios the tool can be used for.

Comment by Ramon van der Heijden on December 13, 2016 at 9:16pm: A new updated version with FULL functionality has been released today. There are quite a few exciting new features, as well as some beloved old ones, such as block creation and instantiation.

Feel free to check it out on Food4Rhino
