uld be much better than Rhino at huge mesh collections. I'd personally try free Autodesk Meshmixer and ZBrush first but most designers are more familiar with rendering programs like Maya or 3DS Max. I'm not familiar enough with architecture to suggest a list as only Revit and Sketchup come to mind.
Looking more closely, CAD Exporter is only for 2D curves and points, how silly, and it requires baked geometry in a Rhino layer:
I could write a Python script to export an STL but that would be a large ascii format file instead of binary. Better to use OBJ to retain quad faces, too.
Ah, well, OBJ files are also ascii format when exported from Rhino, so it would be quite easy to make a script to export those directly to disk from Grasshopper. Here is one box, 10X10X20 in size, with quad faces:
# Rhino
o object_1v 10 10 20v 10 10 0v 10 0 20v 10 0 0v 0 10 20v 0 10 0v 0 0 20v 0 0 0f 5 7 3 1f 5 6 8 7f 3 7 8 4f 2 4 8 6f 5 1 2 6f 3 4 2 1
If I have time I'll make a little script to write such OBJ files unless you can find a native Grasshopper plugin for direct OBJ export in full 3D for meshes.…
ents will do or which components will be available.
My problem arises because I want to obtain a list such as the following:
{{6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, {5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, {4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4}, {3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2}, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1}}
Which displayed as a matrix is:
If it were possible to combine GH operations (series, shift list, replace string...) with matrices I think it would be quite powerful. A matrix to list component like those available on scientific calculators, would then translate the matrix to list.
For me, matrices come in handy when dealing with surface patterns.

53 → 53 → 63 → 74 → 74 → 84 → 9
As you can see from the above list the connection sequence comes in waves of three, where each group of similar indices on the left is associated with a group of three incrementing indices on the right.
Some combination of Series components will probably generate this list, but it'll only work for the first ring, the second one will need a different connection pattern. It is perhaps better to just encode the integer pairs by hand. But then you cannot change your mind about the number of sides later.…

0;0;1}
{5;0;1}
{9;0;1}
Applying a simplify operation would result in:
{0}
{5}
{9}
If we only had the first branch in each case they would be the same (to wit, {0;0;1}), what should it reduce to? You can only say which parts of a branch are redundant when you have something to compare it to.

1+2+3+4+5+6 = 21
1+2+3+4+5+6+7 = 28
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 45
Is there a tool, that can do me that job?
How do I get this List {1,3,6,10,15,21,28,36,45}?…

ow do you sort data trees with distinctive number of list items in each branch?
In this example, there are 161 branches with three distinctive number of list items, 3, 4, and 5. I want to know if there is another way to sort out this data tree into this way: 3 vertices {0;0}, {0;1}, {0;2],...4 vertices {1;0}, {1;1}, {1;2},... 5 vertices {2;0}, {2;1}, {2;2},...
2. Is there a way to sort our surfaces based on number of distinctive list items automatically? For example, if there are surfaces with 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 vertices, I want to make five branches with the same number of vertices automatically.
I hope my questions make sense...
Thank you!
