Description

Crystallon is an open source project for creating lattice structures using Rhino and Grasshopper3D. The goal is to generate lattice structures within Rhino’s design environment without exporting to 3rd party software, with the advantage of modularity and the ability to combine other powerful tools available for Grasshopper3D. Each tool is left as a cluster which can be opened and modified at will, in the spirit of open source. We hope the community will continue to develop and contribute through the use of the Grasshopper forums and Github.

Add new CrystallonV2 Cell Selector (Lattices & Shells)

by dana church

Hi,

Can someone suggest how to add new Lattices & Shells types to the CrystallonV2 Cell Selector.

It appears as a ready-made dropdown list, but I'd like to add new custom elements to it.

Thanks,

Dana Church

    Hi Dana,

    In the included PDF documentation there is an explanation of the data structure of each type of cell. If you would like to use your own, just bypass the cell selection process and connect your own cell to the "unit cell" input. If you want to add cells to the list, double click on the "cell type" cluster and you will see inside each cell internalized. You will need to add yours to this cluster and save it as your own user object. If you would like to contribute cells to the crystallon community, please add them to the github https://github.com/fequalsf/Crystallon and I will include them in the next release.

    Thanks!
