We tried to generate line-types in grasshopper and send/bake them to rhino. This script has to run in compute.
It is possible to generate line-types for visualising them but when backing the geometry, the defined line-type is ignored.
Normally you would expect when changing properties, these properties are actually changed.
If this would work, you would also not need the visualisation components any more. Just preview the model-object, and it is okay.
defining lintypes in gh.gh (16.1 KB)
Yes I noticed, but when running in compute this is not an option.
Perhaps I have to refer to a rhino file saved on the compute server, as work around. I will give it a try.
Pity -as far as I can see- it is not possible to do this directly in grasshopper.
Are you aware that you can cache the linetype without creating a line?
No I am not aware of that.
Cache in Grasshopper?
Connect the linetype output to the content input of the cache / bake component
yes but when I have to bake or export the geometry, I get continuous lines when running in compute.
Ok, I can’t help you with that. Maybe we should move your topic into the compute category?
Thank you Martin.
Good idea!
