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.…

Range of number inside the geno pool:
10 to 20 and then find inside just: 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.
I usually skip this problem using a list item that search inside a list of number but I could be nice if someone has a solution $:…
with the number of frames per second. If your frame count is 100 and you show 10 frames per second, your animation will be 10 seconds long. If you show 20 frames per second, your animation will be 5 seconds long.
A good standard is 30 frames per second if you want to avoid any jittery movement from frame to frame. So, let's say you want your movie to last 10 seconds long and you use 30 frames per second. How many frames should you tell grasshopper to generate? 10 x 30 = 300 frames.
When doing animations, it's best to work backwards from the desired length of the animation and the desired FPS to figure out how many frames you need. …
13;2} ... 20.{13;12}
21. {21;0}22. {21;1}23. {21;2} ... 41. {21;20}
42. {34;0}43. {34;1}44. {34;2} ... 75. {34;33}
76. {55;0}77. {55;1} ... ....
I want to grab the first 8 [0-7], the next 13[8-20], the next 21[21-42] etc
so i have the (known fibonacci seq) list of numbers on the left here:
C S
8 0
13 8
21 21
34 42
55 76
89 131
144 220
233 364
and i need the list on the right, so that i can select items using a Series (N=1 and S and C from the list above) and a List Item component.
the simple question is:
is there a component that can take a list and accumulate it in this way that I need?
if not, is there anyone that can point me to a simple relevant VB example so i could easily adapt it?
many thanks,
gotjosh…
you want each "element" to be a single Item or a single item for ALL elements. See Below
0. 20
1. 30
2. 59
3. 60
4. {9,45,29}
5. 0.0
6. 3.0
7. 6.0
Or
0. 20 30 59 60 {9,45,29} 0.0 3.0 6.0
…
