I am trying to make a chamfer (parametric) on top like in the picture shown through gh.
Could someone help me create this one? I tried to use fillet edge and left the script uncompleted
I may suggest using Edges From Points to retrieve the edges index (using the edge middle as a reference).
As a workaround for the 2-dimensional chamfer, here are two methods, one building sweeps and subtracting the solids, the other one building the box with the chamfer with Loft.
Thank you much @Joseph_Oster and @magicteddy for all these solutions
I am going through those solutions and will let you know if i did not understand anything in there.
@magicteddy wondering why shift paths was done to get the data from back? why not simply connecting offset curve to merge component does not work?
could you explain me in a very basic way?
This is a problem with the Merge component and the fact that single items ot lists still have a branch number associated with them, that cannot be simplified.
Due to internal reasons, the Offset Curve component adds a tree level so the curve ends up in the {0;0} branch, whereas the other ones are in the {0} branch. If you merge them directly, you end up with a tree with two branches, and not a list of three elements, which is what we want for the Loft to work.
Other options are : flatten all inputs of the Merge component (quite barbarian in my opinion)
Use Suirify component
Use my Smart Merge component (from this thread Multiple node connecting - #6 by magicteddy) - but be careful that if you send the definition to someone that doesnât have the plugin installed, it wonât work.
