Hi Pax, Rajaa Issa has started porting a bunch of PanelingTools features over to grasshopper. She's currently waiting for me to complete some functionality, but it sounds like that might make your life a lot easier. In addition, if you think that a specific component would be useful for this kind of work, let me know and I'll try to add it.
Doing patterning is typically quite tricky because it involves a lot of special casing for boundary conditions, and special casing stuff is very difficult in Grasshopper. -- David Rutten Robert McNeel & Associates On Oct 7, 8:46 pm, Pax <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hmmm, what I was trying to do was connect a specific point to another > on a > surface with a straight line, in order to divide that surface into a > controlable number of lines (straight, not curved), which connect > predictably.
