Description

SkinDesigner is a Grasshopper plugin that enables the rapid generation of facade geometries from building massing surfaces and repeating, user-defined panels. 

To install:

1-Make sure you have Rhino 5 and Grasshopper installed, or Rhino 6.
2-Install GHPython from here (Rhino 5 only).
3-Select and drag all the userObjects (downloaded here) onto your Grasshopper canvas.
4-Restart Rhino Grasshopper.

Check out our example files  to get yourself familiar with typical SkinDesigner workflows. Also SkinDesigner Tutorials will be posted in this YouTube playlist as they become available. 

You should also feel free to post any questions, feature requests, or bug reports to the SkinDesigner Grasshopper Group  as discussions. Finally, SkinDesigner is an open source project and all of the project’s source code is visible on SkinDesigner’s Github site as well as within the Grasshopper components (by double-clicking on them).

Request to fix the Bug or issues on "SD DynamicGeoemtry with PanelFunctions"

by Hyunsik Mun

Hi Santiago,

Thank you for sharing this amazing development of SkinDesigner. I think it is so helpful to design facade.

Currently I am learning about SkinDesigner from the shared examples in Rhino7.

However, I found out that some scripts do not work in the current version of Rhino 7.

For example, when I just run the script of “SD DynamicGeoemtry with PanelFunctions”, it seems that “Trim To Panel size” in “SkinDesinger_CustomGeometry” component does not work.

Currently, the shared script does not work.

I tested by shifting "True" or "False" for “Trim To Panel size” in “SkinDesinger_CustomGeometry” and found out that the boolen difference does not work. Please find the attached screenshots.

 

Could you kindly fix this bug?

If it is a matter on my end, could you please let me know how to solve it?

If you allow, I would like to keep asking the bug or issues like this.

Because my labtop is new and just started to use your scripts, I feel newer will experience same issues.

I am looking forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you,

Hyunsik

    Hi Hyunsik,


    Booleans can be tricky in Rhino but we can look at a couple of things first.

    Could you please provide the units and Absolute tolerance value you have in your settings?


    Thanks,

    Santiago
