Hello to everyone I’m looking for a way to batch print this “dome’s perspective art” that I’ve made in grasshopper.
The red lines in the image represent an A3 paper size tiled across the resulting image.
I’ve been trying doing in illustrator and adobe pdf reader but the edges and paper’s margin broke the image.
I don’t really know a method that work and neither found any documentation in plug-ins (Human, Elefront nor Anemone).
Thanks for the time to read this post.
Is this already and image? Or is this still geometry in Rhino GH?
If it’s an image you can bring it into illustrator and use their tiling function. I haven’t used it in years but I remember it had a size limit I think 8 feet by 8 feet. Corel draw has awesome tiling and will print it tiled without hassles any size.
I think you can print from Gh but you have to compensate for the printer margins. If you do it in Rhino viewport then you have to do it manually and make a page template with the margins and lay them out so they overlap. Or if your printer supports full page without margins that might make it easier.
In the past I requested many times the option to print tiled images automatically but the wish was never considered or even placed on the wishlist by the McNeel staff.

I suppose that once you get it right you intend to print full bleed on those A3, correct?
Will you pursue some kind of label or number system? Printing it on the back of each panel?
Do you plan on sharing your file so potential helpers can look into it?
Hi rené I didn’t find neccesary to share the file because it’s mostly a series of brep extrude to a point and cutting it with a plane.
And no, the idea is not to fully print in the A3s but rather contemplete the edges in the export print process
I apology my english is not my first language.
Thanks for the reply
Hi @3dsynergy thank for your time.
yes, that’s the final image produced with grasshopper.
It’s a Dome extrude to a point and cutting with a plane to get the optical illusion. I’m trying to look for a solution that doesn’t need to be too much manually work.
I’m glad we share the same desire for those fixture. I hope one day that option will be able.
Thanks for your reply
Your english is fine 
My understanding isn’t haha I asked about the file to see if a “3D to 2D mapping” could be attempted.
Looks like a fun problem!
Good luck!
