"I was out of my computer last week. To answer your question, the layer "surface" refers to the CNC out cut of wood panels, and will become an hanged physic structure. Thanks Paul"

"The script below will automatically pick the objects by layer. As long as you have the layers set up with the correct objects on the corresponding named layers: "surfaces", "holes", "numbers", it should work…"

"It turns out that you changed the font style from an outline curve to a stick font in your current file and this was causing a problem when the font element was a straight line as for example the vertical stroke in a 4. The script below can…"

"I won't have time to look at it until later in the day. As long as I know what those geometries are it might be possible to include them in the functionality. I'm always working from specific examples only."

"Here is the final geometr. I do not understand why it do not works on all curves shape, the csript would be really usefull if it works on different geometries.. thanks"

"I didn't put as much error trapping in the script as I might have but all of your curves need to be planar and on the XY world plane. Is the file you tested the script on different from the file you posted above? Chris"

"Hi Chris, after a test on my file I got this error message : source : rhinoScript Error : Type mismatch in parameter. String requiered. Line : 50 Char : 3 any idea why ? Thanks Paul"

CNC articulated triangles with hinges

HI everybody,I work on a GH able to work on the CNC fabrication of hinge articulated triangulated surfaces.- I have a nice tagging script optimised from for tools (thanks to Benjamin Golder)- a customisable definition to drill hinge holes to articulate each triangles- I use rhinonest to optimise the CNC filesIs someone have a solution to group triangles+holes+tags together in order to nest each…See More

"NICE ! it's seems the system do not act like inges, the result is the same but this is not a mechanical simulation. I try to do a real wood structure hanged from ceiling with CNC pieces and metal hinge. The simulation would tell me how the…"

"Yes, it is possible. You can set a specific Z coordinate for each node separately, using Gene Pools.In case you increase the number of surface divisions, increase the number of Gene Counts too. "

"thanks a lot, it's really nice ! The result is great but do you think it's possible to set with precision some anchor point to simulate a hanged structure to a ceiling ? "

"Hi Paul, You can set different rest lengths of each of your hinges(nodes) springs, thus result in the surface of the irregular shape.Reset your shape (using Boolean toggle) each time you use the "Shuffle shape of the final surface" number…"

hanged triangulated structure

Hello,I try to simulate the hanging of a surface made of triangles linked by hinges on the 3 sides and suspended to many points.I did a test on kangaroo attached but it's not working, I didn't found any tutorials about this kind of structure.Is someone have a solution to do this ?have a nice dayPAULSee More
