p et/ou Rhino puis je déplie l'ensemble pour un usinage de chaque pièce en cnc ou Laserco2.
Quand il n'y a pas trop de pièces ça va, mais quand j'arrive à 25 ou 30 pièces c'est dur de retrouver la place de chacune.
J'arrive à sérialiser mes pièces avant dépliage avec le plug rhino "paneling tool", puis à les taguer.
Grasshopper peut il faire qq chose pour moi?

Vincent…
the basic line or vector of my object in Grasshopper, and not the actual shape. IE: A circle only comes up as a single half-arc, while a cylinder only show two circles with a single line between them. I've played around with view and preview settings but nothing seems to change it. I can only see the actual object in rhino when I've Baked it.
Is there anyway to fix this so that my manipulations in Grasshopper are previewing in Rhino in realtime? I'll try to get a picture posted to show what I mean.
Thanks,

where I could choose the layer and options up front one time, and then expedite the baking process.
The scenario Im in is that I have finished a good script for dividing a surface from a set of referenced XY planes. However, I have about 50-60 surfaces, with 6 bakes each for different component outputs, meaning 200-250 bakes. The computer likely can't do them all at the same time, so that's out of the question. I plan to reference them in one by one (which is fine, i've budgeted the time), but some sort of boolean-bake tool would sure make my life easier.
Thanks!

didn't look at it that closely), other than to say tree data structure is helping you and hurting you.
What I did to fix the file was work backwards. Looking at only the left panel you are trying to create 11 total planar surfaces from edge curves (8 curves per surface). That means you should be generating 11 of each type of curve so that you will have 88 total curves when you attempt to join them.
Tree data was in some cases giving you 121 of each type of curve (lists matching with tree structure...) so I worked backwards from your individual curves to flatten the inputs until ending up with only 11 (the expected number) of each type of curve.

50 and reduced the 'cell size' slider to 0.5. When the 'Azimuth' angle is changed to 180 +- 90 (dawn or dusk), the points are widely dispersed, reducing the density and increasing the number of cells in the "sparse grid". Under these conditions, the number of cells was ~2000 and the Profiler time for 'Boundary' went up to a full minute or more each time 'Altitude' or 'Azimuth' was changed.
So I created this code to benchmark some alternatives and found two interesting things:
'Boundary' surface performance (v.1) is not linear. As the number of surfaces goes from 1000 to 2000, the time per surface goes up dramatically.
I tried three alternatives for creating a rectangular surface at a given point that are all substantially faster: v.2, v.3 and v.4. For 2000 points, v.4 is 150 times faster than v.1 !!!
Performance of v.2, v.3 and v.4 are similar and all scale up very well. To benchmark beyond 2000 points, I recommend disabling the VERY SLOW v.1. At 5000 points the 'Pop2D' component takes ~11.3 seconds but v.3 and v.4 take less than one second to generate 5000 surfaces!
See boundary_2015Nov19a.gh attached.
So I replaced the 'Rectangle' and 'Boundary' components in my sun reflection model with v.4 in focus_2015Nov19b.gh (also attached) and the performance is amazing.
I'm sure someone has mentioned this performance issue with 'Boundary' on the forum before but as with many things, I didn't realize what a major obstacle it can be until I discovered this for myself.…

grout lines, a tile surface and tile perimeter poly line). I then use that as a Mesh (from Rhino) in the second definition.
2. I can tile out the mesh surface and rotate all the tiles in 90 deg. increments.
To get what I wanted. I took the Mesh and have copied it in series to make a grid. I can then control the dimensions of the grid. X and Y extents. I can also rotate the tiles around their centers.
The spacing of the grid is set from an edge curve of the tile (or mesh). This sets the size of the squares in the grid themselves.
See definition, images and Rhino 4 File, to give the definitions a shot. I have labeled how to use them.
My question -- how can I randomly rotate squares in my grid? I would like the deg of rotation to be random and also which tiles they are.
Also how might I rotate (every other tile) for example? So that I can control the pattern more?
Thoughts?
Thanks!

ror when it comes to points on edges of the surface.I guess it is because normal vectors at a few of points are invalid. After all, because of these invalid points, an error message comes out which is saying " Runtime error (PythonException) : Unable to add polyline to document " and it results in no output. Please give me some help if you know how to handle this problem. I post a code below.Thanks in advance.

g from a list of 12 items I would find all the combinations taking just 4 at time.
I'd use a Stream gate that takes the indexes of the items and pass them to a list item in order to select just the items of the combination. Doing so I can choose a single combination of index at time to pass to the list item.
In this moment all the data come out from the first gate, all the others are empty.
If I pass these index to the list item it gives me an error (probably because of the data structure).
*long version*
I start from a list of 12 segments, all of them with the starting point in common and the ending point distributed regularly in the space. It's a quite simple starting point.
What I'm trying to achieve is to find all the possible spatial configurations made of 2, 3, 4 segments. I started with 2 segments so I've 12^2=144 possible configurations but just 4 different configurations that can intuitivelly be recognized (60°, 90°, 120°, 180°).
Doing the same with 3 segments generates 12^3=1728 configurations and I don't know how many different ones. With 4 segments I've got 12^4=20736 possible configurations.
As you can imagine many configurations are identical but just with a different orientation so at the end I'll have to parse geometrically the output to delete duplicates (I'll address this later on).
Please could you help me to figure out how to mix these segments in different configurations?
Thank you in advance.…
per bake commands to bake the connected geometry with the corresponding materials.
mxDiff is a simple diffuse material. Only reflectance color for 0° and 90° are exposed.
mxEmit is a basic emitter material. You can set light color, power and efficiacy of the emitter.
mxBasic is the most complex material for now. You can set all the properties of a single layer material including. Use this for transparent materials.
mList is your way if you don't want to create your own materials. This component returns a list of all the materials on the Maxwell scene manager. Make sure this is evaluated after you add your own materials if you want to see them in the list.…
