Hi Daniel,

Is there a way to flip the stones?

Hi Martin,
of course you can, but it depends on how you have made the stone. If you use Gem Studio you have an input Flip, you can change it with Boolean Toggle component. If you use Gem by Curve you have an input to change the angle (in radians). If you use Cabuchon Studio you need to put the plane in the proper orientation. And besides, you can always rotate any object with native components of GH.

Hi Daniel,

I've just downloaded the new version of Peacock and am playing around. When I drag either the filigree or variable pipe components I'm getting a prompt for 'Clean Tree' as an unrecognized object. Is this the same Clean Tree as in the Set menu or something else? I'm using GH v.90066. Thanks.

Hi Ethan,
update your version of Grasshopper (now is 0.9.0076), will see that the Cleen Tree component has changed.

Works! Thanks Daniel.

hi Daniel,

Is there any tutorial about how to use Peacock? I am very interested in generative jewelry!!

hello, I'm new to grasshopper and is taking me so much , the plug-in peacock and fantastic , I hope that soon there will be some tutorial , because there are few things that I can do . sorry but the English use a translator

Hi @Daniel Martinez.

Sorry for the password protected. You can redo the gem with Gems component, which has parameter to flip the stones as you wish.

but of course ::facepalm:: Thank you so much Daniel!

Thanks Daniel for sharing

I just started playing with Peacock. I do production jewellery, mostly 925 silver and I use a lot of Swarovski crystals in enamel. I have tried to use your pave and twice it crashed. What I am wanting is to fill a predetermined area with crystals of specific sizes. Also looking at Kangaroo for circle packing. 

Best way to use pave. I have only played with your sample file. Thanks

I have just started playing with the plug-in. Seem to have difficulties with the 'size'-function. What is the actual reference point for the ring-size? It does nit seem to match neither mm measurements nor American ring-sizes...please help

Thanks a lot

Sandra

Please add a discussion for consultations.

Hi Sandra,

as you can read on Size_param description or in the component description, the current release uses European Gauge (in all rings components). This is Radius = (size+40)/(2*Pi), where "size" is the value to give, it's usually used in countries like Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland... The next release will have 6 ways (5 regional system + diameter) to give it the size in different regional systems with just two clicks, in fact, the rings of the next release are already developed, but will have to wait...

Knowing that:

ISO (International Organization for Standardization). mm of internal circunference. Austria, France, Germany, Belgium, Scandinavia...

radii = Size / (2 * Math.PI) 

European Size. Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland...
radii = (Size + 40) / (2 * Math.PI) 

British Size. United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa...
radii = ((Size * 0.4) + 11.5) / 2

American Size. United States, Canada, Mexico...
radii = ((Size * 0.83) + 11.54) / 2 

Japanese Size. Japan, China, India, South America...
radii = ((Size / 3) + 12.67) / 2

Diameter Size. Many goldsmiths anywhere.

radii = Size / 2

and since this release are UserObject componentes, you can remplace if you want the Size component with one new. For example, right clicking size_param, going to Expresion and setting x*pi-40, the size input will be the diameter of the resulting circle, if you give it a value of 14, the circle will have a radius of 7. Then save the userobject (File>Create User Object) and remove the other.

Or create a new one, since this component is just a rotated circle and a cylinder.

Hope this helps.

About the Component Variable Offset，everytime I use it，a pop-up window comes out saying" clean tree is unrecognized".And the result is the component can't works.

Hope for your reply, Thanks a lot!

Hi xlxdesign,

you need the latest version of gh (0.9.0076). The latest version has changed the Clean Tree component.
If persist, ssend me an image of error notification to dga_3@hotmail.com.

Regards.

hi, Daniel

ribbon-surface.3dmI am a fine jewellery designer, and I tried to use this plug in for paving stone, each stone doesnt have distance or only under 0.1mm,

to surface edge there should be at least 0.3mm distance,  

I want to ask the function for pave on surface, 

is not possible to pave on surface on the surfaces like this?

I tried to use function with pave between 2 crvs using iso lines to do this , but it's still hard to fit my require that I have to pave them manually.

do you have alternative solution for this as well?
thank you

Hello Daniel, 

I'm enjoying peacock a lot, still learning how certains components work.

I have a strange effect on my geometry when I want apply the metal preview, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you

Hi Samuel,

what you see is the result of the intersection of the geometry display by the Metal Preview and the Rhino viewer, you should hide one of them.
