Hello, could you please assist me or guide me on how to create a Grasshopper (.gh) script that cuts a plate in Tekla Structures using a reference object? I would like the cut to be based on the object’s bounding box, with a specific offset (e.g., 50 mm), and executed using a Tekla Boolean Cut. The reference object could vary in size, so I need the script to adapt automatically to its dimensions. Any help or sample script would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Felipe,
I would be great if you could supply some model examples in order for me and/or others to assist you better.
When you say reference object, what do you mean, what file type is it etc?
In general it sounds pretty straight forward to do what you’re describing above, but please supply test model if you want any further assistance.
Cheers,
Oskar
Hi Oskar,
I will be sending you the files in Tekla and Grasshopper.
What I would like to do is generate a cut on the plate using the reference object (.fbx). For the supports, it should be a 50 mm box cut, and for the floors, only a perimeter cut.
Kind regards.
