illipede would be suited for? I am essentially trying to find a 3d version of 2d stress analysis (like Figs. 2 & 3 on the karamba front page: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/karamba) to use with meshed data.
Any tips or pointers would be much appreciated!
Thanks,

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.…
line for a slab (box/story).
The New Polyline Parametrs are:
1. Both new and old polyline should have the same 4 segments in its beginning and its end.
2. The New Polyline changes periodically in each axis independently.
3. I each axis they are 2 main options:
A. (in each axis) The coordinate is either equal to the "old" coordinate.
OR B. Differs form the "old" coordinate in a certain gap (specific for each coordinate) and always to the same direction (specific for each coordinate).
4. When it changes from "A" type to the "B" type and back appear the change need to be gradual therefor it need to be escalate during 4 segments.
I want to be able if it is possible to have the control of:
1. changing the paired of each axis.
2. control the discreet gap of each axis and direction.
3. define the minimum size of a segment.
Thanks…
ize. These are two additional dimensions to display more than three goals.
The option 'AxeView' gives the opportunity to show even more than those 3+2+1 (the one is the 3D model).

s:
1) Pick a surface.
2) Pick a group of points previosuly determined in a 2d "flat" view.
3) Transport those points to the surface.
4) Make the voronoi 3d tesellation around the surface.
That´s it! Thank you all!
Bye!…
stick it together to have a thin border between two, one scroll, and the way to move and resize them as one .
3) 3d text tag with the left, right and central align of lines.…
ince a vector only indicates direction and magnitude, assume that the start point is (0,0,0), the vector stores only the end point.
A line stores 2 sets of points. This is why you can go from a line to a vector but not from a vector to a line.…
