"Thanks for the quick responsesim sure there is probably something slightly wrong with my script as to why its not working on a 3D plane, ill double check it"

"that is PERFECT! thanks for that the only issue i have is that only seems to work for a 2dimension shape. Im sure i would be able to apply similar principles to make it work on the 3D wall? the attached files shows the progress.. it works when the…"

URGENT: Dividing up a surface in different scaled amounts

Hireally needing the help of the people on here.What im trying to construct in grasshopper is a wall that is made up of small components (pixels). I want the 'pixels' to be larger at one end of the wall and gradually scale down towards the twist in the wall.I have tried scaling the domain boxes, but this hasn't helpedim sure there is probably a simple method on doing this and i am just not doing it rightany help would be greatly appreciatedI need to have this script completed by Sunday (3 days…See More

"To elaborate, explode the brep to get an edge, use the discontinuity componentfor the curve option menu, this will give the ordered vertices of the hexagon"

Swapping points on a list

Hey guysi have done a big search before posting and i am still struggling to achieve what i need to do, im sure its a simple matter of im using the wrong node of something like that.Basically what i have done is extruded a hexagonal shape, exploded it and i am now trying to get the individual points of the inside of the hexagon. I have used the list item for that and that works fine, but the problem i have encountered is that the item index 0 and 1 need to be swapped (as you can see, the two…See More

Systemiq replied to Matt W's discussion Join Close vertices

"Or construct you geometries in a way they can join correctly (see attached). i.e. remove faces which will touch, and make small faces instead of line edges."

Matt W replied to Matt W's discussion Join Close vertices

"I actually tried exporting the geometry and scalling the faces using 3DS max.. so i guess i had the right idea :P this method worked so much better thankyou so much"

Daniel Piker replied to Matt W's discussion Join Close vertices

"It looks like you could fix the problem by slightly scaling down your bounding box, so the transformed geometries overlap a bit "

Join Close vertices

HiI am making a model to be exported for 3D printingi have sent the file off only to be told that it cant be printed as some of the segments arent actually joined (even though they appear extremely close, they are still slightly separated)i have tried using the 'join' node in a hope that it will join all of the sides but this doesn't seem to be workingdo you know if there is anyway that i could do this?cheersMattSee More
