"the folks over at modeLab have posted a recent waffle definition as part of their continuing learning series. http://modelab.nu/?p=7172 maybe this helps?"

"Hi, I ran across a similar problem so I thought I would post on here... I am trying to use lift architects waffle structure definition but i am running the latest version of grasshopper. I am intrested in updating the definition.   Also I tried…"

"Thanks for the insight RWNB.  Your definition worked very well, but I'm wondering why I my triangulation wasn't working properly for the surface I created?  Was it a matter of selecting the edge curves in the proper order?…"

"try this."

"Ever check out Lunchbox, plug in for grasshopper? It has some paneling tools that might be helpful for you. http://www.food4rhino.com/project/lunchbox"

"RWNB, I was able to follow your issues and the solution Danny gave you, but my problem is happening before the circles are created.  My problem is happening during triangulation: The desired effect in the tutorial should be this: Instead…"

"maybe this ist something for you. http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/generative-algorithms-porous"

"Forgot to include the rhino and definition file. here they are..."

"Anyone have experience with this example that might be able to shed some light? "

"That's it, you have been very helpful and I really appreciate it.  Two more things... is it possible to export the generative shapes that grasshopper creates in Rhino as a .3ds or .obj?  Also, if I wanted read up on how to export…"

"try it on a surface with some curvature  "

"Danny,   I really appreciate your help and your patience.  I created a simple corner to corner plane in Rhino and referenced the srf param to that surface, however when I manipulate the sliders no changes take place.  Is there…"

"Oops I didn't completely check the outcome. I've now added two flatten functions to get the notches to work correctly.  "

"Hi Patrick,   This definition is set up to reference a surface in Rhino. Without the companion 3DM open in rhino nothing will happen when you first open it up. Right click on the Srf Param and choose the set one Surface option from the context…"

"To elaborate further...   I guess what I'm not understanding is when I download and open this particular definition from Lift Architects, how do I use it to create structural systems that show up in Rhino?  My Rhino screen is blank…"
