Kangaroo - hiding anchor points from a simulation

by Matthew Williams

Mar 15, 2011

Hi,

 Apologies if this is a painfully simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer. I have a system that includes a couple "invisible springs" that are anchored at one end. I would like to hide the anchored points, but simply selecting them and clicking "disable preview on selection" doesn't work.

Any idea how I could do this?

 Thanks

    Not sure exactly what you are asking but you should turn the preview off for the referenced parameter in GH and hide the points in Rhino...

      Also - one thing to bear in mind is that if the Kangaroo component itself is set to visible, then all points involved in the simulation will be displayed.

      You can hide Kangaroo, and input only the points/lines/meshes you want to display into the geometry input, and then connect a geometry parameter to the output and display that.

        Ah ok I see. I guess the problem is that I jumped over Rhino and into GH, then over GH and into Kangaroo. I had no idea you could hide geometry in Rhino.

        Also thanks Daniel - that addresses another issue of the geometry connection in the Kangaroo tool that I was wondering about.
