nts which are located on different surfaces of these boxes. Now I want to divide the points in such a way that I have all the points located on each different surface in a branch of a list.
So if I have a tree for the points with 10 branches (for 10 different situations) and 4 different surfaces the points can be located on. I would like to have one tree as a result where I have the following struture:
{Situation 1, Surface 1}
{Situation 1, Surface 2}
{Situation 1, Surface 3}
{Situation 1, Surface 4}
{Situation 2, Surface 1}
...
{Situation 10, Surface 4}
My goal is to make individual surfaces based on the point clusters on each surface.
For now I tried the Point in Curves function, but somehow I still get points on different surfaces even though I should just get them for one of the surfaces.
Kind regards,

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.…
ntire body, if you chose.2 Save the obj3 Import 2 into Rhino4 Use GH to create the voronoi skin from 3
5 Now you can end up with a voronoi carpal tunnel hand cast as pictured above.…
