How do you dramatically increase the number of identical panels within a freeform structure?

SmartCluterting is an advance panelling tool that reduces the amount of unique panels. In the example above the entire façade has been clustered into ten unique panels.Continue

Want to test if the façade panels are flat within the construction tolerance?

Do it using SmartForm. By analysing the planarity of your panels, you can ensure easy fabrication.Continue

How do you verify the 'fabricability' your façade panels?

It is easy and quick to use SmartFormAnalyser to verify façade panel sizes.Feel free to download and play with this beta release. We are constantly updating our tools, adding new functionally and…Continue

Hi Martin,

I am waiting for your approval on Smart Solutions Network. I wanted to become a member as I would like to test the component for my master's thesis. Specifically, I am very interested in the nodes clustering tool. I also have one question, do the bars loose their straightness after performing the clustering? 

Thanks in advance!

Ignacio

Thanks Martin, no problem!

Hi Stef,

You are now verified on SSN. Apologies for the delay, as mentioned we are verifying manually to combat spam accounts.

Hi Martin,

I have the same issue as Jeg and am waiting for my registration to be approved. Because I couldn't find a way to contact you on the SSN website (Í cannot put comments there until my application has been approved) I decided to contact you this way.

Could you please let me know when my registration will be verified? Thanks in advance!

Stef

Martin,

Thanks so much for that!  I'm testing it now.

thanks,

~Jeg

Hi Jeg,

You should have been verified on SSN, we are currently verifying users manually to combat spam accounts.

For issues regarding SmartMove please ask on the SSN site.

FYI we will be releasing a much updated version very soon

Hi, I'm interested in trialing your SmartMove plugin for GH.

I've registered on your website - http://www.smart-solutions-network.com/group/smartmove - and am awaiting verification to be able to download the plugin.

I'm just emailing to check whether there's anything else I can/should be doing, and to get an idea how long that verification will take.

Thanks,

~Jeg Dudley

Thanks for the great plug in. I am using it to analyse 100 meshes, I turn them into smart meshes and pass them to the analyzer but only one mesh gets colored? The data is passing through the component because when I turn the smart meshes back to regular meshes they are all shown in preview again... any thoughts? Thanks again.

Hi Juan, 

What exactly is the problem you are trying to fix? 

Do you mean the 'pinching' condition that has been marked is the problem as you want the diamonds to be uniform throughout? 

The boundary of your geometry has a dramatic change and will effect the resulting uv divison. SmartForm will not change the topology of your division.

To get a more uniform look consider creating the diamond pattern with some more regular geometry and then using the outline of you current geometry a a 'cookie-cutter'

Comment by Juan Camps on May 8, 2015 at 13:19

Hi all, I'm trying to fix with SmartForm a diamond panel UV subdivision I did using Lunchbox. I'm new to SmartForm since someone suggested on a different post I did that this would be a way of doing it. Here's a screenshot. Any ideas? Thanks!
