"Hi Daniel, Just a short question, what about the needs of the component "planarize any polygon"; i ve tried to planariaze 6 point faces (hex mesh), but the solver ends messing everything up instead of planarizing. Already…"

"This is a data list issue. Planarize needs an input of 4 points per face (ie you need to separate out the quads from the triangles) See the attached file for a fixed version of your definition"

Kangaroo Planarize vault issue.

Hello all,I'm generating a kangaroo spring vault. I have a series of organised points being manipulated by the Kangaroo engine (these points also generate the meshes) I have a series of springs and forces which manipulate the overall form, everything works fine… However, I'm trying to add a planarize force to the calc but I am either missing a step or have a data list issue? I haven’t used the planarize component before so I'm a tad unclear as to how the data should be organised (currently…See More

Chamfer Angles

Hi All, Can anyone think of a quick way to find out the angles of a lofted surface? I have two profile curve's that I'm using for the loft and I want to work out the angle's of each edge surface in relation to the top plane? I have manually added the angles in rhino for clarity - but essentially these are the values I require. …See More
