New Kangaroo - mesh collisions and separate XYZ constraints

by Daniel Piker

Dec 31, 2011

Hi all,

I'm putting this up for anyone who wants to test it out before I make it the main release on the Food4Rhino site. Let me know if it works and if not what errors you get.

This contains a fix for the Mesh Collision component, and also a new sort of Anchor where you can toggle separate booleans for constraint in x, y or z of a point.

(Also note that like the AnchorSpring component this connects to the ForceObjects input of the main Kangaroo component rather than the AnchorPoints input)

Also - Kangaroo has now been split into a Grasshopper component and a separate Physics Engine dll.

You should be able to put both in the usual Grasshopper components directory (after removing any earlier versions of Kangaroo).

The intention is to make this dll something that you can use from your own C# / VB / Python components, or even without going through Grasshopper. More on that to follow...

    Hi all,

    I think it may just be a question of making sure both the .gha and .dll are unblocked

    (right click the files and go to properties)

    please try this and let me know if it solves the problem.

    hi,

    Hi Daniel,

    Thank you again.

    You are absolutely right.

    I unblocked the .dll -file and now it works fine.

    best pb
