    Hi. your list to tree def seems pretty interesting. i am new to grasshopper and i was trying to sort a list of points: but i am finding it difficult because i have no idea how to link the points to a bunch of names for them like A, A' etc...

    how do you suggest i do that. i have also posted at http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/newbie-in-need-of-guidance.

    and oh crap im using version .5 so i cant use your definition :S

     

    so what i have done so far is select all the points manually for each curve and 'interpolate curve' ed them individually. i can then pipe all the curves. my next challenge is to fillet them.

      separatrix

      returns the separatrix - the line that differentiates lit and dark faces of a polyhedra (works only for solids with planar faces for now)

      it is useful because the separatrix can be used with a Project onto brep component in order to find out the cast shadow of an onject onto something more complex than a plane (which is what Mesh Shadow currently offers)

      (it also colours the dark faces, to get a better idea where how the solid is lit)

      hope somebody else finds it useful as well and feel free to develop it further...

      since i don't find any upload mode any more, here it is uploaded in the "Parametric Model" Grasshopper library:

        for some reason it doesn't let me modify my previous comment or reply to it, but anyway, here is the working link for the separatrix definition :
