Hi Luis,

Sorry i made a mistake in the pdf primer/ UnfoldPolytope.m file has to be pasted in the Packages folder  not in an UnfoldPolytope folder

C:\ Program Files\WolframResearch\mathematica\8or7\AddOns\Packages\UnfoldPolytope.m

Hi Mohamed,

i change the file path and copy/paste the UnfoldPolytope.m file in the packages folder, now i have data from the "unfold_convex_polygons" component, but i still don´t get the unfolding geometry.
Please, take a look to the attachments files.

Regards!

no 

I mean you have just to put it in the path, then leave the panel C:\ojehbfhab any name you want this will be a file to save the coordinates vertices don't make the unfoldpolytope.m the same to save on--please download it again and leave the panel C:\--------as it was

i will post a vemio link tomorrow

hope to work well

Ok, done, i must create the vertices file because the component don´t save it, and now, with the vertices file created and readed the error is produces before generate the points...

i check the list and the stringed list, and it´s look ok, but don´t generate the points for generate the lines...

anyway, when the convex polygon component generate data, this said "exact computation-False" ...

thanks

mathematica still can't see UnfoldPolytope.m 

please try this and tell me

open mathematica frontend and write

UnfoldPolytope`

tell me what will happen

the out shouldn't be appear any thing

or it will write output $Failed if mathematica can't see the package

Really sorry-i'm still refining the tool-and i will try to make an exe installation file that will be more efficient and stable

Thanks for the quick replies Mohamed,

and that was the solution, the step i forget was all the packages must be installed from inside Mathematica software, so, i did it and mantis start to work!

Many thanks!

Really appreciate, feedback

i have the same problem ,what is vertices file and how can i create it ?!  i think my mathematica sees unfold polytope but in grasshopper it cant write on the file in C:/"anything" Path ?!

Having a similar problem. Checked and I think Mathematica can find the file, but I always get an $Aborted Message.

Thanks for your help!

You need to install the packages from inside of mathematica, following the Mantis install instructions, copying the packages (libraries) in mathematica folders and loading  it from mathematica...

Hi Luis,

Turned out, this was not the problem, but as you wrote above as well I had to create an empty file named "MantisUnfold".

Now it works. Thanks a lot!
