Hi all,
I have found a cosmetic issue on Mac 10.10. After I resize Grasshopper window to make it smaller, the texts in menu box look truncated. You can see it on the picture below.

Cannot delete an object created by ghpythonlib

Hi all,

What I am trying to do is to create a cutting brep to split a surface. After I succeed to create the brep I would like to delete the 'edge1'. But for some reason I cannot delete edge1. I guess because it was created by a grasshopper method. When I use print to check its id it doesn't the id (see attached).


Does it mean that the edge1 doesn't exist in Rhino so I don't need to delete it?
Is it a polyline that only exists within grasshopper?

Can anyone explain a little bit of it? Just want to have a better understand of use ghpythonlib in rhino python.

Thanks,

Hi all,

i want to check for intersect a group of curves which are copied and rotated randomly on a surface in a loop.

Now i want to to check for intersection and add/or not add the curves.

How can i do this with this method?.

I tried using the CurveCurveIntersection method in my script but without success. It seems that there is no intersection happening, cause i get the error 'NoneType' object is unsubscriptable.

I've been attempting to create a surface inbetween these two objects (Ideally, I want ALL of them to be one closed polysurface). However, I've tried numerous commands with none of the working. I just need the main part "stretched" (with no distortion) until it hits the front plate so i can boolean it to one closed polysurface. I'm not terribly good at describing things. Sorry guys! Any ideas would be appreciated!

Victoria Goldstein is a licensed architect in Buenos Aires and an AIA Associate. Check out her project 'The Hand Rail / Book Case'. It was generated using Rhino and Grasshopper, later translated to CAD CAM for routing in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The form begins with a simple elongated prism that 'blobs' out near arms reach while climbing the stairs or walking past them, and then bulges back in where the user can’t reach to grab a book. Such association between the living and the inert generates a decorative yet functional play.

VG Studio is a Houston/Buenos Aires based design firm that creates work within architecture, art, and digital fabrication technology for private and public projects. They are a young and dynamic practice with a highly experimental approach engaged in collaborations with many engineering and design firms.

Intersection between two limited lines

Hi,
I'm trying to find the intersection between two limited lines.
I tried this example and replaced the option finiteSegments with true:
Rhino.Geometry.Intersect.Intersection.LineLine(lineA, lineB, a, b, 0, True)

but it does not work: the two lines are considered intersecting even if they don't touch each other...

How could I do this?

thanks

Display Curve End Points

@MisterB wrote:

Is there anyway to get Rhino to display the end points of curves? I know I can place a point at curve ends but I'd prefer something like a display mode. Turning on CPs works for simple curves but not complex. It would make using the GCon tool easier.

It seems like something that should be possible but somehow I've missed it.

Text override behavior

$

@SamPage wrote:

I know text and annotations in general are getting some active work, so much of this may be known or expected at this point, but I am experiencing what I would consider unexpected behavior when overriding text.

So, if I start a file which has one dimension style in it:

1. Use the Text command and place a piece of text
2. Copy that text, then double click to modify it, such as changing it's height.
3. Now copy that modifed text, then double click it to modify

At this point you will be asked if you want to delete current annotation style. This is the first unexpected thing. It seems Rhino is creating invisible annotation styles to store my overrides, so I'm being asked if I want to delete the invisible style created to handle the override, but I find this to be confusing.

4. Say "No" do deleting the annotation style.
5. Change the height again to somethinig unique

At this point you should see both the second copy (the one you are currently editing), and the first copy (the one you are not editing) update their size to the new unique value. This in my oppinion is a bug. I as a user am only expecting the text I have double clicked to edt to be the text that is updating. Further, there is no way for me the user to know what text is currently assigned this invisible annotation sytle, so if I am editing text in a file, there is no way as far as I am aware to know what text will be updated.

6. If you are still in the text editing window, hit OK, and now call the Text command again to place another piece of text.

Over here, the text height of the new text will be the unique value you used in step 5 rather than the text height of the expected current annotation style text height. When checking the current style, over here after saying "No" to deleting the current annotaion style, no style will be selected, which is also unexpected.

7. Now double click one of the modified pieces of text. You should be asked again if you want to delete the current annotation style. Say "Yes".

Over here, no text editing window comes up, and all the modified copies revert back to the pre-existing annotation style that the file opened with. I find this also unexpected.

8. Now select one of the copied, modified pieces of text. In the properties window, notice that both the Style and Height is (varied). Select the height text, and start to type a value.

Over here this crashes Rhino (I sent in the crash report).

So, the TL;DR version, I find it weird that editing one piece of text can inadvertently modify another piece of text :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Sam

HistoryRecording In VBScript

@Vahab wrote:

Hi,
What I am trying to do in the following code is to deform an extruded Object (Polygon Based) by means of History Recording.
That means any upcoming changes to the polygon results in the deformation of the extrusion as well.
However, unlike the the initial polygon, the extruded surface maintains it previous form.
Any ideas what is missing?
Thanks in advance;
Here is the Code:

 Call Main()
 Sub Main()

	Dim strObject,cpoint,m,intcount

	strObject = Rhino.addPolygon(rhino.WorldXYPlane, 10, 6)

        If Not IsNull(strObject) Then

         	Rhino.EnableHistoryRecording True
	        Rhino.EnableObjectGrips strObject

	        Rhino.ExtrudeCurveStraight strObject, array(0, 0, 20)
		m = Rhino.ObjectGripLocation(strObject, 5)
	        m(0) = m(0) + 5
     		m(1) = m(1) + 0
      		m(2) = m(2) + 0
        	Rhino.ObjectGripLocation strObject, 5, m

 	End If

@Asterisk wrote:

It only applies to open extrusions.
To reproduce it:
1. Draw a line and ExtrudeCrv it.
2. Run Dir command.
3. Click on the surface to flip its face direction AND reverse U or V or both.
Note the face and backside colors did not flip. Now backside has face color and face, backside color.
"Flip"ping it twice, "refreshes" it.

Best new Mac to buy?

My beloved 17" MBP finally died. :frowning: Need a few recommendations for a replacement.

My primary horsepower hungry application is Rhino and I will be boot camping into Windows as well. Planning on at least 16 gig of ram (and maybe more?) and an SSD. Need two monitors (currently using a laptop plus an external monitor).

If I recall, Rhino runs heavily (primarily?) off of the video card? If so, is it correct that this is more important than the processing speed of the CPU?

Would prefer a laptop, but am a bit nervous about the new 15" touch bar MBP and the dearth of ports. Could maybe even find a prior model 15" MBP unless people are loving this thing.

Help me here. Got any compelling arguments for choosing a laptop vs. desktop (vis-a-vis price/performance) and recommended models?

Hi, I am trying to import the file from Sketchup to Rhino for 3D printing. Before splitting the model to a fit in a cube for printing, I did the ShowEdges and clear all the naked edges. However, right after splitting and using Cap command, there are still naked edges. I tried to create a closed shape but the naked edge is still there. Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks.

Small unit+high tolerance or vice versa?

@arquitextonica wrote:

I've done ma time of research around the concepts of tolerances and I think I understand them.

I'm working on architectural models intended for construction, so our precision needs lay around milimeter (1-5). So my question lies on which approach is better, to use lets say milimeters as unit with a tolerance of 1 or to use meters (that's our firm convention, with a tolerance of 0.001).

The result should be the same (I think) but the floating point difference makes me intuitively think, there might be a processing difference between the two. Am I wrong?
