Comment by Sebastian on March 11, 2012 at 1:54pm: Nathan, thanks a lot for the great tools. Working with the panels components I realized that by using the Triangle B it is generating additional surfaces from the target surface, is this suppossed to be like that? Do you have a way to delete them for further operations?

Comment by Nathan Miller on March 5, 2012 at 2:16am: Phillipp: I haven't found a good way of implementing bake group functionality into my component. Groups seem to be another animal entirely from the GeometryBase I have been using. grouping after bake... perhaps, but I would need to be careful not to group existing Rhino geometry in with the freshly baked geometry. Suggestions welcome.

Pieter: i have been giving this some thought. This could be possible with a toggle to set the paneling system to be 'periodic'. in which case the first and last panels would wrap in the V direction. Good suggestion. I'll see where I can take it.

Mohammed E: Check out the new update. There is an example.

Andrew: I still haven't resolved that issue with trimmed surfaces. I have tried converting trimmed surfaces at the code level to BReps, but it still gives me an untrimmed version of the surface on the other end. Converting to Brep beforehand is still the best way around it...hmmm suggestions?

Thanks for the thoughts, folks!

Comment by Philipp on February 25, 2012 at 1:39am: Thank you, Nathan!

Little wish: can you add group support or "group on bake" input for bake component?

Comment by Pieter Segeren on February 24, 2012 at 4:35pm: Very nice work Nathan! Pretty looking icons too. Thanks:)

I do have a wish: that the (Staggered) Panels would not be trimmed by my cylindric surfaces' seam, but only fullsize panels. Would that be possible?

Comment by Mohammed E on February 23, 2012 at 1:31pm: can any one explane how to use the ( generate ) i am kinda lost ! thanks

Comment by Nathan Miller on February 21, 2012 at 11:24am: Good catch, Andrew. I will fix that posthaste!

Comment by Andrew Heumann on February 21, 2012 at 8:25am: Hey Nathan -

The Bake component appears to be baking the untrimmed versions of trimmed surfaces from GH. Passing the trimmed surface through a BRep parameter before passing to the bake component seems to fix the problem.

Comment by Philipp on February 16, 2012 at 1:41am: Wish for future - can you add a HAtch component?

It is made here... http://www.parametricmodel.com/HatchCurves/43.html

but it is little big buggy
