"Hmm... so I managed to simplify the variables to one slider. If I distributed the two geometries across a grid made up of coordinates, do you think that might work?"

Help with bounding boxes at different shapes?

Hi all,I have two 3d shapes (generated in grasshopper) that connect to corners of a triangle and square and want to tile it in the pattern below.However, in the third image, you can see that they…Continue

Need help with extruding lines at a tangent derived from curve!
1 Reply
Hi everyone, I have a question about extruding according to a tangent. Or maybe a derived vector might be a more appropriate. I have a bunch of curves but I can't seem to extrude them in Rhino. Well…Continue

Compressible cylinder/cone origami ie. Issey Miyake

Hi everyone, I came across this video of this "dress" Issey Miyake designed in 2010. Basically, it can be compressed flat and can unfold as a dress as the images below (or in the video at 3.20…Continue

Extracting information from image/photo
Hey everyone! A while back, I came across a grasshopper definition where it "extracts" information from images/photos; I think, based on colour gradients and using those to perform extrusions, or…Continue

Ra replied to Ra's discussion Help with bounding boxes at different shapes?"I don't want them to distrort the target curves. Probably just control how much the geometries open up. Yea, I can't seem to get it to work"
Danny Boyes replied to Ra's discussion Help with bounding boxes at different shapes?"does the attractor distort the target curves? because this method wouldn't work if that was the case."
Ra replied to Ra's discussion Help with bounding boxes at different shapes?"Thanks, I was just curious as to how it chose a point although equal distances.I'm now trying to add an attractor to the whole definition. This is gonna be fun!"
Danny Boyes replied to Ra's discussion Help with bounding boxes at different shapes?"It is a square, no worries"
Danny Boyes replied to Ra's discussion Help with bounding boxes at different shapes?"If all things are equal does it matter which side? The only purpose is to align the X axis of a plane with one of the vertices I don't think it matters which one.
r = Sin(angle)/D
Where the angle PI/4 = 45 Degrees and PI/6 radians = 30…"
Ra replied to Ra's discussion Help with bounding boxes at different shapes?"The geometry still unrolls, but this looks good. Unfortunately, the labs I'm in are still using rhino 4 sr8. Hopefully we'll get the update soon.
Cheers,

Ra replied to Ra's discussion Help with bounding boxes at different shapes?"Hey Danny,
Thanks a lot for that! Anyway, the going's good, I think. Just trying to get back into grasshopper again. It's been awhile! What have you been up to these days?
Some silly questions:
- In regards to the planes, when trying to…"
Florian Frank replied to Ra's discussion Help with bounding boxes at different shapes?"very nice solution danny...ra, there is no better solution for placing the objects. To unroll the surfaces you can use this (if you're using rhino 5)."
Danny Boyes replied to Ra's discussion Help with bounding boxes at different shapes?"Hi Ra,
How's it going?
Here's my take on the solution.

Ra replied to Ra's discussion Help with bounding boxes at different shapes?"Hi Florian,
Thanks for that. The ones in the square boundary seem to work. And yes, the triangles do struggle to fit in. Do you think there is a way to make a bounding "box" shaped of an extruded triangle?
Could it be done in Rhino…"
Florian Frank replied to Ra's discussion Help with bounding boxes at different shapes?"hi Ra,
The surfaces will never perfectly touch each other, but you can avoid the overlapping. The main problem is the triangle geometry. There is no clean way to make a morphbox from that geometry. At least i wasn't able to get one. But look at…"

Hi all,I have two 3d shapes (generated in grasshopper) that connect to corners of a triangle and square and want to tile it in the pattern below.However, in the third image, you can see that they overlap when I try to connect them.Is there a way to create a bounding "box" for these to avoid overlaps?Would really appreciate if someone could give a few suggestions or have a look at my files attached!…See More
Ra replied to Ra's discussion Trimming curves?"Wow! Feels like I've missed so much on GH! Been so occupied since middle of last year.I'll check this out as soon as I have time (and internet).Also, glad to see that the GH website hasn't changed much apart from the sharing post…"
Anja replied to Ra's discussion Trimming curves?"Ha, great Danny, I wouldn't have figured that out! Shame of your beautifully coloured definition that I just deleted though.... ;)"
Danny Boyes replied to Ra's discussion Trimming curves?"Hi Anja,
Things have come a long way since I wrote that for Ra. Your issue with the RUnion Component is in the units and tolerances of your Rhino Document. Change them to meters and similarly your GH file sliders and you get the desired effect.
