Hi The goal (at this point) is to create a working excel spreadsheet of floor plate areas from a Rhino model. This is where I'm at with it. This is all about workflow, not really design.
Using scripts from the Wiki, I have been able to create a script that takes closed curves (meshes+srfs could work too), calculates their area and extracts that info to excel. It's an alpha version, and i'm no code monkey, but here it is: http://groups.google.com/group/grasshopper3d/web/Excel%20-%20Curve%20properties.rvb?hl=en Additionally, from Designanalyze's spline tower tutorial I have been able to calculate floor areas with automated floor to floor heights. So far only outputting it into a sticky. Here's that .ghx: http://groups.google.com/group/grasshopper3d/web/Floor%20areas.ghx?hl=en Just plug-in any polysrf and it'll work. (Although I've had some issues with trimmed srfs) There are two questions to move on the next step. 1. How to get the script to read and extract the output from GH? 2. (mostly scripting) How to update the same excel spreadsheet instead of creating a new one each time? Any suggestions, solutions or locations of similar work is great. Thanks rob
