Would like to export dxf-file from ShapeDiver for production with a lasercutter.
To make it easier to move objects around for the people at the lasershop I would like to group the curves.
Am I doing this the wrong way?
In the picture there is 3 export-components.
The top one (without grouping) is the only one working, it will export the two curves.
You are not doing anything wrong, the problem is that we don’t support Grasshopper group objects yet. You can use them within your model, but they won’t be displayed or exported. We will fix this before the end of this year.
Ok, thank you!
Are you guys still working on grasshopper grouped objects or am I just using the wrong grouping component?
We have taken the decision to not automatically process groups in the display components because the ungrouping operation would tamper with the data structure sent to the viewer, which would potentially lead to unwanted behaviours. For that reason, we recommed to use the Ungroup component before sending grouped geometry to display components.
Regarding the export components, we are still evaluating how much sense it would make to support groups, but this is not a high priority at the moment.
If you have a use case where the usage of groups is crucial, please let us know so we can evaluate a sensible solution.
