3D Text Tag - Location as Grid Point

Grasshopper

1

Hello! I am trying to add sensor point tags to grids that are associated to vertical walls.

I need the tags to face the same as the wall normals, so you can pan around the room and see all text tags at the same time. The closest I have gotten (shown in ship) orients them to a XZ or YZ plane, so some of the tags in the room aren’t facing the correct way and I have to switch back and forth between planes.

Model attached below.

Internalize your wall geometrys.

Walls internalized! Thanks

Hi @Leyna ,

you could create planes with the same Y vector for all and adjust after the normal direction (unfortunate there is no component to adjust the Y direction).

But because of data mismatch multiple tags are overlaping and also there are some computational operations without sense.

Use vector cross product to get the x-axis direction (from world z-axis and wall normal), and construct the plane from x- and y-axes.

You seems to be struggling with 3D Text Tag?

Attached is an example for you to look at. I filtered out some of the smaller walls and added some unique labels to each point.
