Hello all,

I'm having issues with trying to design a diagrid for this model surface. I have attached a .pdf and .jpg image of the draped surface.

1. I used a "draped surface" to design the surface for the diagrid definition and then trimmed it to my desired specifications. However, the definitions I've found don't confine themselves to the parameters of the surface, they continue to the extents of original untrimmed surface. Is there a definition that will confine themselves and "fit" to the parameters of this newly edited surface?

 

2. I am trying to get a diagrid that will bake only the structural grid of the diagrid and then the glass component separately. I will be rendering this later and I need both components to be distinct of one another.

Please help, I am running out of time, I have been freaking out trying to figure this out and I have found nothing that helps my project. I've searched and found different definitions, tampered with them to fit my project and yet to no avail.

I am still learning this plug-in and I enjoy it's functions, PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks,

Sim

Is there any chance to teah http read cyrillic letters or decode the result into cyrillic afterwards? (inside or outside grasshopper?)

Hi Nathan,

Thank you for your message and for your hard work on these components. We will wait as long as it is necessary for your next awesome update. I hope your move goes well :)

Bests,

Ali

Ali,

I'll try to get a fix out soon.  I'm in the middle of a move right now so I won't have much time to push out another update for a few weeks.  

In the meantime, here is  VB script implementation of the same component which will work with points.

Hi Nathan,

Following up on the comments below, is there a temporary solution to the problem of baking points? I'm also having problems baking circles. But I think the solution would probably be to convert them to curves and then bake them.

Thanks for a great set of components!

Bests,

Ali

Hey David,

Thanks!  Yes I am aware that the casting problem there with GeometryBase.  Oddly enough, the exact same source code accepts points and other objects when placed in a scripting component.  For whatever reason, it gets fussy when made as a plug-in.  Not sure what the deal is.

I have a couple of workarounds in mind based on some lessons learned in the newer Slingshot! components.  I had to do some casting gymnastics for the serialization components to get them to handle certain geometries.  I'll try and circle back and implement them here soon.

Cheers,

-Nate

Hi Nathan...I've been riding the read/write excel, save and bake components in lunch box pretty hard and to fantastic effect in my workflow lately (and the various other goodies in my playflow)...so first and foremost: thanks!  One thing I've noticed though is that the bake component doesn't take points...it has a casting problem going from point to geometrybase.  Is this something you're aware of?

Philipp,

I have had this before and it usually has something to do with having other processes running that are using System.Runtime.InteropServices... such as having multiple workbooks open or another application.  You might need to restart your open programs (or computer).  I don't think file size is the issue although I can't be sure since I'm usually not working with excel files that large.

Instantly Lanchbox began to write this message:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A03EC): Exeption in HRESULT: 0x800A03EC
I thought it couse exel file is too long but now it is doing the same with any exel file... (what is the max size, actually? can I use some tricks to upload really huge file, about 10 000 or 100 000 lines?)
