Much appreciated Dirk...I think the issue is the 'learning curve' on my end, for sure. 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 getting my head aro…
Ok Dirk, I'm sorry but it isn't working for me. I'm getting an ordered set of points in a triangular pattern (good) but that overlap themselves (bad), even before I edit the script. Even pulling out single tree items for one of the paths, the points…
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 s…
This is great Dirk...but I'm not sure how to incorporate your cluster into my definition or how to use it further down the command chain. Is your cluster just an example, or can that be plugged into the definition (see my modified one...I've hot-rod…
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:
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 h…
Wow Dirk. This is phenomenal. Thanks so much...ideally I'd like to solve the issue of the twisting, but nonetheless I appreciate the breakdown between polylines and the resultant surfaces they produce-I just didn't know that (still new to Rhino).
W…
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 surface (100),…
The Rhino file was uploaded in the first reply...but to pick up on your point-the curves generating the loft have hard corners...is this the cause of the problem? Is there a way to create a kinked shape with a continuous surface?
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…
