Hi everybody
im interested in exporting a list of curves as seperate files (bake then export)(in this case .ai files) to be used in a flash animation. please see attached .ghx
the attached grasshopper file is a test run, using a significantly smaller data set, but that still has a similar structure to the anticipated final definition:
1 - a list of points ( in the final version i will be referencing a .xls file)
2 - the creation of a data tree structure that allows for the creation of a given
number of curves with a given number of vertices
3 - the export of each curve as a seperate file ( this is where the problems are !)
The problem is that the definition repeatedly exports the last curve ( i think) in the list instead of exporting the individual curves as seperate files.
I found Marc Hoppermann's 'exportToDxf.ghx' on the forum which i have used here as you can see, i did a few simpler re-workings of it ( changing file type, object type) and it worked fine, but now that i have included it as part of a more complex definition it isn't working.
i guess the curve is repeatedly being over-written within the body of the script and not being stored properly....or maybeit is being deleted from the workspace before it has been exported....tho as a non-scripter im un able to tell what exactly im doing wrong ! - so i would really appreciate someones help ! - thanks in advance
I would also like to thank Vicente Soler, whos reply to an earlier post of mine allowed me to create the data tree structure portion of the definition.
cheers
louis
