David Rutten replied to Karl Wecker's discussion Grasshopper User Interface Language

"I'd like to think the Grasshopper SDK is pretty friendly to 3rd party GHA files. There's few things you cannot do as a 3rd party developer. But yes, it will need to be exposed in a flexible yet easy to use way. The .NET framework has some…"

"aaand... you'd need an API for 3rd party plugins to provide their own language capabilites."

David Rutten replied to Karl Wecker's discussion Grasshopper User Interface Language

"It hasn't really come up yet. As far as I know all other major Rhino plugins have been translated so Grasshopper is definitely the odd one out here. On the other hand, Grasshopper is a very text-heavy plugin so translation'd be a hell of a…"

Grasshopper User Interface Language

Hi everyone,I've been introducing Rhino and Grasshopper to students in Math Classes at Schools (Junior High and High School Level). The students loved it - and the teachers loved it, too, because it "playfully" illustrates otherwise quite dry concepts of mathematical geometry.However the foreign language made it quite difficult for them to explore the program further on their own. The kids with very much drive eventually figured out the pictos, but the teachers were reluctant to include GH into…See More

"Ah, I see what you're looking to do now. Yes...messy meshes to begin with...and great call on the occlusion thing...Looks like a very promising start...joined + welded with weaverbird, split disjoint mesh, then took each face centerpoint…"

"Well, the Problem I'm facing is to create better quality Models of Large Scale Urban Masterplan Models. It's not so much a "for this model" Problem. I'm looking for a general solution to "cleanup" after…"

"can you share your model? it's difficult to understand the specific challenge created by your topology from an image alone."

Karl Wecker replied to Karl Wecker's discussion Removing inner Faces of a Mesh

"Hi David, thanks for sharing the concept. But isn't it true, that the outer faces have one edge in common with the inner faces. (And therefore also have more edges in common than their edge count). Thanks -Karl"

"Nice concept to know, about edges to faces. Thanks for sharing :) "

David Stasiuk replied to Karl Wecker's discussion Removing inner Faces of a Mesh

"I think the method would depend on how your mesh is constructed...if your internal faces are duplicated, then you can extract the centerpoints from the mesh face polylines and test them for adjacency to one another...then identify all of the faces…"

Michael Pryor replied to Karl Wecker's discussion Removing inner Faces of a Mesh

"best way I have found. Since interior faces back to back will always be a duplicate we can cull all duplicate area centroids and use that index to call out only exterior faces."

Nate Holland replied to Karl Wecker's discussion Removing inner Faces of a Mesh

"I had a similar situation where I wanted to remove the inner faces of stacked blocks. If you know or can identify the plane that the intersection occurs on you can use that to help select and cull the mesh faces. You could also investigate their…"
