Giulio Piacentino replied to Benjamin Anderson's discussion Can GH 'material' component control reflectance (not just 'shinyness')?"Hi Benjamin,
there was a new line char in the end of the material name (and the panel was disabled), that's why it was not working. This example now works here.

Benjamin Anderson replied to Benjamin Anderson's discussion Can GH 'material' component control reflectance (not just 'shinyness')?"Giulio-here's my attempt to use your definition...reflectivity still doesn't seem to be affected-I'm still getting 'shiny' objects (they reflect the color of the background) but no reflections of surrounding objects...is…"
Giulio Piacentino replied to Benjamin Anderson's discussion Can GH 'material' component control reflectance (not just 'shinyness')?"Hi Benjamin,
here an addition to the previous script. With this, it should be possible to also input data for 'reflection' (a number) and 'reflectivity' (a color) for each of the objects. These values are currently available in…"

I wasn't able to grasp the VB script you referenced before. I appreciate the efforts to bring it down a level...this is really helpful.
Still…"
Benjamin Anderson replied to Benjamin Anderson's discussion Non-Rectangular Facade Panels (Triangular) - Issues with Data Trees & Population Across Surface"Thanks Dirk...I started looking around after I posted and ran across the thread you mentioned. It seems promising. Also found some good info on the USyd page as well. I think there's plenty here to take a look at.
Much appreciated, as always."

Hi all_I'm having issues with trying to populate this triangular facade panel across a surface...extensive troubleshooting into this aside, I think I'm running into issues with data trees not working as posted in other threads.I've already tried square components composed of two triangular panels, but stitching between components is a problem as the seams won't match between curved or angled faces.Theoretically this could be done one panel at a time, but I know there's an easier way-data trees…See More
"Ben, you could try straight lofting for the external skin and then create a number of floor plate sections that you subdivide for your ordered point set:

Luis Fraguada replied to Benjamin Anderson's discussion Native GH vs Rhino Curves-Why Are Lofts Breps Instead of Surfaces?"Benjamin, the relationship between topology is imperative in Surface modelling...points to curves to surfaces, if you are making one from the other, there are always consequences. Its not a Rhino thing...your thinking about how many points a curve…"
"strange... you're reply wasn't up when I posted?
ok, so theres a few issues - with polylines, you're always going to get polysurfaces with the loft unless you do a rebuild with the surface with a lot of points:
loft options: rebuild…"
"Sorry but you may need to upload the rhino file as well if you're referring to (kinked?) rhino curves - which would result in a Brep (poly-surface)."

Benjamin Anderson posted a discussionNative GH vs Rhino Curves-Why Are Lofts Breps Instead of Surfaces?
Does anyone know why GH won't read a lofted surface as a 'surface' if the curves used to create it are built in Rhino? I can successfully loft the curves, but they will only register as breps, not a single surface. This is causing major headaches as I need the lofted skin to be uniformly divided for skin tests...I've decomposed surfaces lofted from GH & Rhino curves before, I'm not sure why this isn't working now.I'm starting to think this is simply a limitation of GH capability-but I don't…See More
