How to rotate objects inside on Brep individually. This is a basic tutorial but crucial in order to understand how GH works. #viral #viralvideo #trending #trendingvideo
Super helpful. I have a rhino object that contains three different materials within the object. I'm using grasshopper to array that object along a spiral. But I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out how to make the brep carry multiple rhino materials. It just groups them all under one. I've searched high and low and cannot find an answer to what I would assume is a simple question. Maybe it's a dumb question? :)
As soon as you link an object from Rhino to Grasshopper, Grasshopper creates a copy of your original object. The copies are new objects which don't live in any layer in rhino. They live in grasshopper only until you bake them back to rhino.... Grasshopper only copies the geometry of an object and not it's materials. However, you can set up individual materials within Grasshopper. However they are only for visualisation within Grasshopper...
Dear Philipp, thanks a lot for this series (CFD with Butterfly) of tutorials and explorations it was really helpful for me. Step by step moving forward with you and discovering the pros and cons of the Butterfly made the ups and downs of this journey easier. Wish you all the best...
well you can rotate the rotation points with the origin of the object its orbiting around. your rotation point can also move and don't need to be fixed in space. It should be fairly simple
I had a bunch of circles in Rhino and I wanted to create some smaller circles using as point the center of the Rhino circles. I do created a quick GH definition with curve import, Area, Center of the area used as location for my new circles and a slider for Radius. Boomer. My newly created GH circles are oriented on XY plane while the original ones are on the YZ plane. Please, can you make a tutorial and explain how to create new circles using the orientation plane of the Rhino geometry?
You can create circles in different ways. A few questions: Are your circles facing all the same direction? Or are the rotated on the z axis. Do you need circles or are points good enough? Do your circles need to be rotated in your rhio file?
@@PhilippGalvanDesign The circles are facing different planes, as XY, XZ, YZ. I do need circles as I do use them to make holes with a CNC machines. I often do need to adjust the diameter of the Rhino circles to have specific diameters like 3, 5,8mm, etc.
