Capturing Rhino Viewport Without Saving Locally

Grasshopper ShapeDiver
1

Hi,

Is there any component that captures a Rhino viewport without saving it as a local file? I need to generate a PDF with a live perspective viewport capture as part of my ShapeDiver output, without using Python or C# script (i’m using free ShapeDiver).

Ideally, I’d like to dynamically capture the current viewport (e.g., “Perspective”), embed it directly into a PDF using Squid, and avoid intermediate file saving.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

You can use the Make2D component in Grasshopper to project geometry from a viewport to a set of curves that you can then draw to your exported PDFs using Squid.
