Cockroach - PointCloud Processing for Rhino

It is opposite: the script works fine in R8. But in R7, Python part does not work while C# part works (both calling the same module/library).

Why not contributing to this Cockroach opensource project and actually doing everything on github with c# ?
All this grasshopper stuff is tricky workaround that was not really intended to be used for. And you would be constantly bumping into issues without using the open-source code.

If you really up for this, let me know. I will then spend some time for example preparation.

Github project is here:

@Petras_Vestartas
I would be so up for this or any contribution I can make for this project.

I have just finished a new configuration for C++ and Python via Nanobind for cgal only.

Would you like to contribute to PointCloud module development?

Here is the source code with documentation.

compas-dev/compas_cgal: COMPAS package for working with CGAL.

@Petras_Vestartas I am 100% up to it!
Problem: My skills most likely (at the moment).

Right now I would not have a clue what to do.
But damn sure I want to learn!
Question: How can I help?

Hi,@Petras_Vestartas.

Thank you so much for your great work!
I noticed that the CGAL.dll file isn’t included when I download the Grasshopper plugin. Could this be why the computation crashes when I switch on the CGAL algorithm?

It is because you probably using Rhino8. Cgal is header only so it is compiled within pinvoke.dll.

Would it be an option for you to use python ?

Same code i wrote:

Hi. Thank you for your reply. I am actually using Rhino 7.

Also, I noticed that the “Color” in CloudMesh does not work, while the Rhino plugin(.rhp) can have the color with the mesh. But this does not bother me at all.

And yes, I can use Python as well.

Thank you for your contribution again! :slight_smile:

Hi Petras,

May I ask you about this Poisson Surface Reconstruction using Compas,

Do we still have the parameter control like “isovalue“ in the Rhino version of the plugin to reduce some faces OR “density“ values to cull the vertices from the mesh?

Do, but you can open an issue on github and we will implement it.
