"Can't seem to make the problem go away by following his steps. The moment I notice the bug is usually when I try to switch viewports using the CTRL+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB shortcuts in Rhino to see my GH output from different angles. Perhaps…"

Road Network from Curves.

Been working on a urban design definition. The idea is to have road centerlines as a hierarchy of curves in Rhino (or generated in another GH def). Take those centerlines, offset by a different distance for each type of road, trim at the intersections and join the outlines of each plot.So far so good. Next, at each intersection, I want to fillet the corners, with the radius determined by the larger road.This is giving me trouble. Any idea where to start? Note - this doesn't need to be a fillet…See More

Rhino w/ GH - not accepting certain keystrokes

I'm having a problem - this occurs fairly often, but seemingly at random, and I can never predict it, or recreate it... (I tried searching the forum here for a solution, but had no luck... please let me know if this has been solved in another thread...)On occasion, when working with Grasshopper (0.9.0014)on Rhino 5 (5.1.20927.2230, 09/27/2012), the Rhino command line stops accepting certain keystrokes.For example.... Grasshopper open, everything working fine in the GH window. In Rhino, I…See More
