Grasshopper Packaging / Unfolding Plugin

[Andreas_Kretzer]

Hello everyone,

I discovered the packaging-unfolding-tool for Grasshopper on food4Rhino.

https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/packagingunfolding

And it looks great! Exactly what I am looking for.

Unfortunately, the developer can not be contacted.

I am a GH beginner and I believe I managed to „rebuild“ what is shown to the video (looking for the symbols of the elements), yet I’m getting a “Data conversion failed from Number to Plane” error.

Probably this can be solved easily by a GH crack, but I don’t find out how.

The usage tutorial says:

• Install the plugin in GH and use it.

• Place the BOX in the Rhino interface and specify it in GH.
• Place the Output Curves battery in GH and connect it.
• For detailed adjustments, add numeric batteries or sliders.
• Adjust until the desired result is achieved.

I tried both, but probably I am not putting the right elements.
I guess that’s where the mistake is.

Can you tell me what is meant with „Output Curves battery in GH“ and „Numeric batteries or sliders“?

Thank you for any hints!

Best regards, Andreas

it looks like working fine in R8:

cardboard_box.gh (27.6 KB)

the video was probably recorded for an earlier release, the component now has different inputs, make sure to hover the mouse on each input and check what data type it expects

for instance here you see it wants a data type “Plane” :

while here it wants a Boolean:

Thank you!
This helps a lot (especially the template and hover-function).

Have a great day!
