Hi,

I know this question has been asked quite a lot of times and I have searched for the discussions but couldnt find a solution to it. So here is the problem - 

1. I created a polysurface by loft and chamfer and ultimate goal was to populate the geometry along the curvature with the help of UV components. I did not realise that you cannot do it in polysurface, so then learning from many discussions I exploded the polysurface to surfaces and tried to get UV from…

I have a first result. It´s a bit tricky to load more and more curves into this definition, since you have to add a Minimum compontnt for every new curve to get the smallest distance between a curve and a Point, but thats work in progress, ain´t it?

Hi Everyone,

For those who are interested in a quick grasshopper routine that can essentially replace the need for a plugin like RhinoTerrain when creating topography from contour lines please see the attached files.

The resulting mesh topography is comparable with the mesh results generated from RhinoTerrain and can be done within…

This definition approximates a shrink wrap for generic brep geometry.



There are two steps:



The first step creates a mesh from a bounding box and drags each vertex to the closest point on the brep. Andrew Heumann offered a similar definition back in December (http://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/shrinkwrap-with-grasshopper?xg_source=activity)



The second step takes the…

Dynamic surfaces

Here is a component I have made for obtaining a set of almost planar surfaces for approximating a NURBS surface. This components converts mesh quad surfaces into a set of individual NURBS surfaces. If you want to use this component for manufacturing a double curved surface; you need to check the maximum deviation of quads from planar status and see if you and your manufacturing technology can tolerate this much error. Enjoy.
