I have been learning grasshopper and have found an issue the I can not seem to solve. I want to apply an isotrim grid to a complex surface to get the grid, eventually offsetting all the edges and crating a structure. When I made the grid it was not bound by the surface boundary and when I tried to trim the grid with the boundary of the surface it did not seem to work.
I feel this there is a simple solution that I am just not looking at
In case of a trimmed surface,Surface Splitsometimes fails in 3d for various reasons, such as a tolerance issue.
One way is to work on the plane and then move the result to 3d trimmed surface using Copy Trim.
Thank you very much, that is a huge help but not I am stuck on something I again am sure is an easy fix
The bottom edge does not have vertices except the one corner when it is deconstructed and all have a value as 0 not allowing me to select points though a list item
I referred to other topics and saw that someone was in the similar situation. As I know have surfaces with 4 and 5 vertices I am having a hard time simple making subsurface. I downloaded turtle but unlike other plugins it will not appear.
How can I just easily make surfaces if I have all the edges and vertices ? I have tried various ways as you can see with no luck
But this now leaves me with it being read as 2 surfaces when the centroid of the surface is found (one center point for each triangle)
Ultimately I am looking to offset all the edges from each surface (the vertical and horizontal lines that divide the surface) an equal distance and offset that surface. Would i use construct domain to achieve this?
Thanks for the help, just a Rhino guy trying to learn this powerful program
