![]() ![]() ![]() Rhino 6 and Rhino 7 natively support C#, Python, and VB scripting, and so does ShapeDiver. Find more information about model checking here. In that case, all versions of the plugin are supported, but each cluster that our system doesn't know yet will need to be validated, in the same way that script components are handled. Some plugins like Peacock and Lunchbox consist of a set of clusters. The package manager in Rhino typically allows to install previous versions of plugins. Check if the version matches before downloading and installing a plugin on your computer. Nevertheless, the current version of a plugin supported by our servers is not necessarily always the latest one. We try to keep most plugins up-to-date with their latest version when possible. As an example, for reasons of security, we do not allow components that expose forbidden functionality. ![]() Some plugins are only partially supported. ShapeDiver supports almost all built-in Grasshopper components and selected third-party plugins. Finally, I am making a simple rectangle surface for the glass top.For an always up-to-date list of plugins supported on ShapeDiver, check the Backend settings of your account. To make it 3D we are using simply the Extrude component with the right coefficient and putting a mesh over it.ħ. With Surface Split, I am ‘deleting’ the holes out of the surface, so the volume there is empty.Ħ. Then I am deconstructing this surface with Deconstruct Brep and I am creating holes in the rectangle using Nurbs component.ĥ. ![]() In this rectangle, we put random points using Populate2D and applying a Voronoi to this rectangle.Ĥ. Then we are constructing a rectangle and making a surface out of it.ģ. First, we are offsetting the existing plane with the height of the legs of the table.Ģ. The final step is to duplicate the result using the component move and a base vector.ġ. The resulting mesh always consists of quadrilaterals.”ġ0. After that I am putting it through wbCatmullClark, which “calculates the type of mesh-based recursive subdivision described by Edwin Catmull and Jim Clark, at first in 1978. Afterwards, I am Lofting and putting a mesh over the quads.ĩ. It is important to note what is the index of the quads you need in order to Merge the right pieces later on.ġ0. Weaverbird brings mesh editing, subdivision and mesh transformations to Rhino and Grasshopper users. I am then extracting the 4 quad faces using Data Allocation B (from Tree8) and List Item component. Then I am putting the frame trough wbNaked in order to form a naked boundary.ĩ. The resulting mesh always consists of quad faces.” Thus, these quad faces will serve us as the ‘joints’ every table leg.Ĩ. “The component wbFrame computes a new mesh with higher naked edge count, where each face has a new hole in the centre and resembles a picture frame. Then, I am using the Weaverbird Plug-in (a topological mesh editor) to join all the surfaces we made before. Then I am applying an ‘example’ shape in which these surface boxes will be Morphed.ħ. After the first steps, I am making Surface Boxes out of the square surfaces.Ħ. In the end, we rotate all that, so we end up with twisted shapes.ĥ. This is done with the component Scale, taking into account the height and putting in a coefficient of narrowing.Ĥ. We have to scale the square surfaces in order for them to be narrower at the bottom. (Parameter structure height does that put through ‘Count’ of the component Series)ģ. Offsetting this surface as many times as you want the legs to be high. This is my version of the tutorial above, cleaned up and improved in light of the problems I had, which I am explaining further down below.ġ. I constructed a surface from a square with the size of the outline of the table legs.Ģ. The tabletop I made on my own using Voronoi (which everyone does, so avoid doing that!). I also followed a tutorial on YouTube ( ), with which I made the legs of the table. I have used 2 plug-ins: one is Weaverbird (download: ) and the other is called Tree8 (download: ). After varying ideas on different kinds of furniture, I decided to go with a coffee table, which consists of mainly smooth ‘organic’ shapes fully coded in Grasshopper without any input from Rhino (like curves etc.). ![]()
