Export stl tolerance settings

Grasshopper ShapeDiver

How could I use with “tolerance settings” the “absolute tolerance”, “relative tolerance” and “angle tolerance” live on the online plattform or on grasshopper? I have to use “trail and error” for my stl-export to get the right settings! Does not work!

Or do you have a authentic mesh-sample to see the differences after “download export”

When you work locally, Grasshopper makes use of the tolerance settings you have defined in Rhino. The purpose of the “Tolerance Settings” component is to force specific tolerance settings when running on the ShapeDiver servers. As a consequence, the right workflow is the following:

  • Work locally in Rhino/Grasshopper using the tolerance settings you wish.
  • Once your definition works as expected locally, add a “Tolerance Settings” component to your definition and specify the values corresponding to your local settings.
  • After uploading your definition, and before running any computation, the ShapeDiver servers will make sure that the cloud instances of Rhino running the definition will use the tolerance settings you have defined.

Make sure to have a look at the documentation of the component. In particular, note that it will only work if you internalize the values of each tolerance (instead of connecting the inputs to other Grasshopper components).

After following these steps, please post here a minimal example definition in case you experience different results between your local Rhino instance and the online ShapeDiver model.
