"I have the same problema, when i try to execute it, it just open Rhino 4.0, although i have installed 5.0. What can i do? The installer is a .rhi file.. and i can't execute it"

install problem

i couldnt run the file 'PanelingTools_2013_04_25_00.rhi'. when i excute it, it appears a window and ask me with which programm i wanna run it!then i was confused and i have chosen rhino as the default software to run this *.rhi-file. how can i fix the problem? PS.: i installed paneling tool only in rhino 4, and since couple mounth i upgrade my rhino 4 into rhino 5 , but i didnt install paneling tool for my rhino 5. See More

I play with rest length and it works fine for 1-layer variation.but for 2-layer variation I got problem, that I couldnt control the verticle-hanging anymore.does anyone know what could be the problem?See More

"My approach was to generate several points along the the original radial cable, then attach springs on those points (where anchors would be represented by those same points). Different springs rest lengths would enable different elevation of the…"

"thx for explanation, its pretty clear. as i said, i am trying to get a new way to approache a hyppar, except cutting/projection-way. i just discussed with a engineer, maybe there is still a smart way deal with... well, wish me luck.…"

"A NURBS hyppar needs 4 CPs to define the surface. Spacing and vertical displacement of diagonally opposing points define curvature in "hyp" and "par" direction. Now you can project any boundary, you like and get a perfect…"

reverse-way to make a hyperbolic paraboloid surface

hallo, i create a boundry of hyperbolic paraboloid with expression below: (r^2/b^2*(sin(z*2*pi/y))^2)-(r^2/a^2*(cos(z*2*pi/y))^2)It get exact math definition of hyperbolic paraboloid, I just give it a boundary and Delta Z. …See More
