Hi Guys,
the problem I am facing is a rather trivial one (at least I think so). I try to bake VisualArq elements, however it is not working a all. With elements like sphere it is working totally fine.
I have updated both Rhino and VisualArq. Does anyone happen to have any ideas?
Hi @birkenholzstuhl,
Is this the Bake component from LunchBox? We’re aware that VisualARQ objects do not work with this component. Baking objects using the default Grasshopper “Bake” button on the toolbar, or using the context menu should work.
I think this is a problem in LunchBox side, but as VisualARQ objects are very special (they are custom objects in both Rhino and Grasshopper), maybe it’s not possible for LunchBox developers to fix this issue.
We have plans to implement a similar Bake component for VisualARQ 3.

Hi @enric ,
thanks for your comment. Yes the one Bake Component comes from LunchBox. The second one (with the many Input parameters) comes, if I’m not mistaken, from the Grasshopper Core Library. It also creates the layer, but there are no elements in it and I don’t get an error message.
The problem is, I want to create multiple iterations of my model and so I can’t “manually” click on bake each time.
found the solution. Baking with the node that comes with elefront works:

Hi @birkenholzstuhl,
Sorry for the late response.
Then it is possible to bake VisualARQ objects for a third-party developer. It seems it should be possible for the “Bake” component from LunchBox to support VisualARQ objects.

Hi @enric,
I have tried the bake component from LunchBox, but it does not work. I have tried to bake a simple wall, everything is created, the layer with the name color etc. however the built wall does not appear. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Hi @birkenholzstuhl,
No, the Bake component from LunchBox doesn’t work with VisualARQ objects, this is a known bug. What I mean was that now that I know that there are other bake components from other third-party developers, I think that LunchBox developers can fix their Bake component.

Hi,
Nice that you got the baking with eleFront working! Can you show how you did this, please?
I have tried to bake some Visual Arq components as well and conencted for example a wall or a slab with the geometry input. It used a single component, for several objects flattened lists or grafted lists so that always one component for a branch is put in.
But it always tells me:" eleFront could not bake an object: [object e.g. “column”, “wall”]"
It bakes always the first element, but nothing more…
How is it possible to bake Visual Arq components?
VisualARQ 3 has been released. Does it have this function?
Hi @Shih-Hao_Liao the Bake component of Elefront is not compatible with VisualARQ objects. We have developed an internal one that does the job, so you can download it here:
VisualARQ-Bake.gh (7.9 KB)
It’s great. thank you
I just updated to Visualarq 3 thanks for your continued dedication to this useful tool set. This bake command is very useful, mostly because it allows for more complex automation and UI’s to be built on top of grasshopper.
A feature request for your roadmap would be for all of the Visualarq components with built-in buttons, like the “update property” component, have a separate boolean input toggle just like this bake tool. Thanks again!
Hi @franklin.gabriel.rom, thanks for the suggestion. We will take it into account.
