shift in U and V direction, setting the base and setting the size. It is kind of working. See the picture attached. The 3D object doesn't morph seamlessly yet. I think it has to do with the size of columns and rows of the grids.
I want to do this using grasshopper so I can set the parameters instead of hard numbers. I tried to use 3D morph in Grasshopper, however, I can only set the shifts in U and V directions, but I can not set the base or the size. I want my 3D object to span 2 units in U direction and 4 units in V direction, shift 2 units in U and 6 unit in V. The 3D object need to be able to tile seamlessly in 3D space.
Any information will be highly appreciated.

h cairo tile, moving it in the Z axis and then attaching it to the 3 nearest points on the cairo tile. It has been quite successful however not every diamond is completed and some of the diamonds are being finished incorrectly. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Also once I have created these 3D cairo tiles from lines how would I create surfaces from the lines?
Thanks guys

aker (fdm) printer at home. I will not be charging you for the printing and I have plenty of filament to share.
The printing volume of the printer is 8.5"x8.5"x8.5"
Please export your (water tight) files as stl. with the units set to mm.
goodluck!…
on.from that i generate a selection matrix in paracloud, that gives me points for 6 layers of material specification. these points are then used to boxmorph the octahedron into place. it is a bit laborious but i am looking for a more smooth way.…
ts (Rhino 6 and everything that came after the plugin itself was written).When I tested it, it had some issues with a large number of lines and if parameters weren't carefully tuned it failed to produce consistent meshes.If some of you has time and skills on their hands, there is the source code available on GitHub (link is in the description). For personal use, time ago I updated a definition by David Stasiuk to make nodes and beams, based on 3D Convex Hull component. You can still find it here:https://www.grasshopper3d.com/xn/detail/2985220:Comment:1745216Warning: in Rhino 6 the Starling Convex Hull component doesn't seem to work well, you can use the 3D Convex Hull from the MeshEdit plugin instead (https://www.food4rhino.com/app/meshedit - just substitute the 3D Convex Hull component in the definition and it should work fine).…
mum wall thickness of >1.0mm but I'm not sure about aluminium sintering. We have an Objet 3d printer at work that jets plastic media and we try to keep above 1mm wall thickness on that. It will print much thinner but it gets very hard to remove the support material without damaging the part.
You could create a tag attached by a thin section that protrudes from a discreet position on the inside of a corner piece? This could easily be removed during assembly.
Chris: looks like another good project! I'm currently trying to design moulds for all my corner pieces since there are 6 different corner pieces on my geodesic dome, 3 of which are split in half for ease of assembly, making 9 moulds! 3D printing was a bit out of my budget!…

oints to have a maximum of 4 links. Even if I limit the group number to 3, I will still have some points that have four our five connection points.
I think I understand why some points have more that 3 links (even though the group number is set to 3), but I can't figure out how to limit this number to a maximum of 4 links.
Furthermore- the next step I am working out is to create a link at each of the points like the one shown in the attached picture. Any additional advice for how to achieve this would also be very helpful.
Thanks for your help!
