Hi Mark,

There is no trimming support yet in the PT-GH, but there is one for the PT-Rhino. I will add to the list the ability to support trimming in PT-GH.

In the attached, I baked the component and the grid, then used ptPanelGridCustom with base surface, and PullCurves=Yes.  I hope that helps for now.

that was helpful , thank you Rajaa !

Hi Rajaa,

Does PT GH support hexagon grids. I'm attempting to form a hex grid on a sphere but am having issues with the seam of the sphere and was hoping PT would help but can't seem to find any signs of hexagon grids as of yet.  Thanks for any help 

hi all can you please help me I am try to panel a surface with this patter but I dont know how to create it with paneling tools

I really need to know how to make asp help any one one

Hello Rajaa,
I am having an issue with assigning a number of panels to the Planar grid component ( morph 2D list ). There is  a loss in geometry. Is it be-cos of the complexity of the pattern ?

Hi Kuru, Can you please share the model?

Hi Khaleefa, the following image shows how you can achieve your pattern...

here is the gh file 

here are the pics from rhino

this is the surface i used in srf cp

these are the planes i want to b extruded according to distance from surface

these are all the extruded rectangles i get!!

Ps- the problem is not with the surface being too low, it is not. and i have tried it with different surface with more hieght too.

Hi Montx. Please email me the GH file and the Rhino file. Images do not help me experiment with a solution to your problem.

Hello Rajaa, is it possible to panel mesh surfaces in grasshopper panelling tools ? many thanks

Hi Nuru, Rajaa, 

One approach is to deconstruct the mesh, then use PT - compose grid number from the mesh vertices (specify a number of rows that match your mesh). 

John

And you can certainly use mesh objects directly. The following examples uses ptMorph3d  to morph a mesh box.

Let me know if you have a specific example you would like to do.

Thank-you. here's the attached screen shot for your reference.

I would also like to influence the u,v span numbers if possible.

Hello

I was just wondering if its possible to panel a mesh model of a car.

The image ive attached above i wish to turn into paneled type model.

Is this doable. sorry for the vague post im not quite sure how to approach this model.

Kind Regards

Luke

Why would you like to panel the mesh? Do you have a sketch of the desired outcome?

Hellow Rajaa !

Please...."Hello Rajaa, is it possible to panel mesh surfaces in grasshopper panelling tools  OR NOT?

Yes ? how ???.........Thanks

Sí, yo estoy tratando de hacer un IMPRIMIR3D speciaal, (desde un viejo archivo 3d),

Why would you like to panel the mesh ?

Because that is the result that the person seach for his designs !!!.

(the skin for the mesh,etc).

Can apply the paneling tools over one mesh ?

Sorry, but in wich way-manier ?

Thanks you

Hellow

Cfeldman, I posted a Grasshopper screen capture to a similar question a couple of months ago. You can create a paneling grid from a mesh in Grasshopper. Deconstruct the mesh, then use PT - compose grid number from the mesh vertices (specify a number of rows that match your mesh). 

Hello Rajaa 

I would like to panel in some sort of geometric patterns, its to create a sort of sculpture.

Thanks

 HelloJohn Stack 

 Thanks 

(Ok...,i wil try it )

The problem with mesh base is that it may not follow rectangular topology. It is a similar problem to turning meshes to nurbs. Sometimes you can extract construction curves (Use contour), then use those curves to generate paneling grids and apply panels. This technique might not work for all shapes, but it will get you closer. I hope this helps.

Ok thanks, i will try to do it the way you suggested! Thank you for your help!

Hello!

I have a question. In grid point attractor, I have multiple points i want to assign different magnitude, how can i achieve that?

Thanks! :)

Hi Lorenzo, there is no way to do that at the moment. The algorithm favors the closest attraction point and use the full magnitude to attract to the closest point. I will consider this for future development though.

Thank you Rajaa, yes i think it would be helpful in the future!

Meanwhile it is still possible to distort an already distorted grid, if the assigned magnitude is fixed, luckily the component is not heavy, so even if i run 3 or 4 components consequently it is still fast!

Thanks, looking forward for updates!

Hi Rajaa,

I was wondering if you had a working grasshopper sample for the Morph 3d Mean component. I am playing around with it but get an error message. Unfortunately do I only get the generic "Failed to Morph to Grid" without an further detail.

Thank you,

Oliver

Did you have a chance check the manual and samples file?

You can send me the file that is failing and I can check it.

Dear all, if you have a question, then please "+ Add a Discussion" (instead of posting to the "Comment Wall"). It allows you to share files and is easier to reference and search. Thanks.

Hi all,

I need to generate hexagonal grid on surface or brep.

But the hexagons must be equal for the fabrication.

It's possible ?

Remy, it depends on the surface. Free forms do not typically lend themselves to equal panels.

Not sure I understand. What do you exactly mean when you say Rationalized Surface". A good test of whether your surface can be split into equal panels is to try to do a portion of it manually. If you succeed, then you'll likely find a way to automate it inside a tool.

Your request is very common and logical, but often imposible in free-form surfaces (unless using special case surfaces such as extrusions).
I also understand that the manual work is long, but if you can do it on a small patch of your surface, then you can automate.

Check this post

Yes i look this post and other,

I have managed to repeat on a 2D grid.

But I have a problem doing it on extrusion. I don't understand why, maybe the problem i pathern string parameter.

Raja thank you very much for your help.

Start a discussion topic and attach your surface and attempt. We can discuss it much better there, than in the comment wall.

ASAP, Thanks Rajaa.

Good evening !

Hi all!

I have a problem, after installing PT grasshopper plug-in is not loaded, the program displays the following message:

"An error occured during GHA assembly loading:
   Path: C: \ Program Files \ Rhinoceros 5 (64-bit) \ Plug-ins \ PanelingTools \ Win64 \ PTComponentLibrary.gha
   Exception System.IO.FileLoadException:
   Message: Could not load file or assembly "file: /// C: \ Program Files \ Rhinoceros 5 (64-bit) \ Plug-ins \ PanelingTools \ Win64 \ PTComponentLibrary.gha" or one of its dependencies. Operation not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)

Please help to solve this problem.

Maxim, are you able to see PanelingTools menu in Rhino and run PT commands (for example ptGridArray)?

all super runs, except Chebyshev grid equal to the diagonal?

Spiral, can you please start a new discussion thread ("Add a discussion" link above), and share a sketch of what you need?

Rajaa, yes I able to see PanelingTools menu in Rhino and run PT commands, but not in Grasshopper, there is no PT tab.

Thanx for your help, Rajaa.

Hi Tal, Please start a new "discussion" to be able to attache files, etc. Comments are not meant to be responded to.
But to you question, in general, you should be able to add attraction using PT for GH. Please start the discussion, and we can take it from there.

not able to install it error message is
