Transparent canvas, wormhole to Rhino Viewport.

by Daniel González Abalde

Dec 22, 2014

In the previous version was using a panel component to set the wormhole, which was quite annoying. This time the canvas itself is used, so that we can move the canvas to any part of our definition that the hole will be there. Besides, the wires are above the window.

This open script in VB lets you set a transparent background and interact with Rhinoceros without minimizing the GH interface.

Wormhole.gh

Sets a boolean to activate it and a number (between 0 and 1) to adjust the width. However, I have not managed to change the width while the hole is active, so if you want to change the width, you will have to disable it. Any improvement on this is welcome.

It is known that monitors longer than 24 bits of color depth, clicks on transparency does not affect in the interface behind. If so just have a transparent window. See here.

Enjoy the holidays.

    Thanks all,

    @Tim, you need to create an UserObject and you can add it to the category/subcategory you prefer.

    Hello, Daniel. I like it as a component. Take a peek at this page if you're looking for a photo booth to rent in New York. When you collaborate with this page, they handle everything so you can concentrate on your guests. Their large selection of photo props will ensure that your event is remembered for weeks.
