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.

Voxel Morphing between two surfaces

by Yikun Wang

Feb 25, 2021

Hi I am quite new to Rhino and Crystallon.

I have created a geometry in Solidworks, and export it as STP file. I tried to morph two surfaces for generating the Voxel. These two surfaces were created through the SW loft function. I got the following twisted voxel mappings. The node/vertex was mapped to the diagonal direction node/vertex.  Flipping surface normal did not help.

I am wondering whether I should introduce other parameters/operations to guide the morphing.

Many thanks in advance!!

    Hello!

    Yes you have flipped UVs on the surfaces. This is something I need to make a simple tool to fix.

    In the mean time, pufferfish has a tool to flip the UV parameters of surface that should work perfect for you.

    I will work on making a tool to do this soon.

    Cheers!

      Hi all,

      I suppose it would be to close the thread with a good ending. 

      LunchBox gets a tool to swap UV direction etc.. Worth to try the tool before coding your own one.
