Description

SpiderWeb is a .NET library providing functionality for preforming calculations on graphs. The library is created with a special focuse on the integration of graphs and graph related theroies (e.g. SpaceSyntax) in parametric design envoirnments. Therefore special Versions are avalible for:

Grasshopper
DesignScript (planned)

Any feedback, questions or critic is welcomed.

Shortest Path through 3D Mesh

by Louise Wotton

Dec 6, 2017

Hi!

I've been trying to come up with a definition that will allow me to make one continous polyline of mesh edges to allow me to print it with a 3d extruder on a robotic arm.

I haven't used spiderweb before but I've had a look at a few of the example files, the longest line one in particular, and thought it would be useful to use to find the optimal path for a mesh, I understand that because these might not always have an even amount of nodes I would possibly have to go over some of the edges twice, which is fine. 

However I haven't been able to get the example file to work, I guess this could be because I am using it for a 3d model possibly? Any help with ideas on how to draw a path through it would be great!

Thanks in advance, 

Louise

    Could you please post the rhino file / GH Definition you are working on.

    The problem here is that you are actually trying to find a Hamiltonian path (with some extra restrictions) where the edges are the vertices. Please look it up in wikipedia.

    Best
