Hi Santiago,I would like to ask another question. I am trying to use Surface Panel Mode. It works well for Untrimmed Surfaces but when I try to provide Trimmed Surfaces as input surfaces then it does not recognize this kind of surface. Is it an intrinsic behavior of the Skindesigner or am I doing…
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…
Hi Santiago,I would like to ask if there is a method to change the point from which the panels start to be placed. Normally, the point is the left lower corner point (in red) of the surface. Is there a way I can change that point to the left top corner point (in green)? So the empty space stays…
Hello Santiago,I looked online through various tutorials but could not find an answer. Is it possible to make slanted panels that follow a surface that is not just a vertical extrusion. I attached a photo of what I mean. Thank you
Hi Usmi,For some reason I can't reply to your posts in the previous thread. But since the questions have evolved anyways to some other areas of the tool I thought won't hurt to create a new post and repost your questions. See my answers below:Hi Santiago,I have watched your tutorial and this…
Hi Santiago, I have problem using CUSTOM SYSTEM PANEL. Im trying to add some differents geometries and divide then in differents layers, but all the elements always appear together in the _P_CustomGeo layer.For example, I add one image of two types of panels that i need to add geometry with…
Hello everyone,I would like to know if there is a way I can turn the bake feature off when I activate the panels. It is a built in function as you know and sometimes it takes very long to bake the panels in the Rhino viewport. Is there a way that we can turn that off and link it with a rectangle…
Hi Santiago,Do you have tutorial on how to use grasshopper geometry by operating on the skinBaydata and SkinPanel data outputs in skin generator ?Best,Jihn
Hi Santiago,Ive got another couple of questions.1. how to reverse the panel direction outward?2. how to make panels follow perfect curve?3. how to create panels without wall behind?4. Each panels have double glass surface. Im having trouble importing it to Lumion and applying glass materials. Is…
Hi,A user was asking specific information about the Skin Generator parameters ("SkinDesigner Skin Parameters v0.5" dropdown). Even though most of them can be seen in action throughout the tutorials, they may not always give you a clear picture of their precise functionality. I thought this may be…
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).
