Hello everyone,
I would appreciate some help/advice on something I am working on.
I have created a paneling/facade system in Rhino Grasshopper and I would like some help finding an efficient way to extrude these panel surfaces or make them into solids. (I am looking to make these into about 3" thick panels for a facade system) The below picture is what the paneling skin system looks like altogether on the building, but it currently has no thickness (its just a srf).
Here is the link to the tutorial I followed for reference.
So these are screenshots of a snippet of the panel system and the grasshopper script used. I will attach the Rhino and Grasshopper test files below.
skin test rhino7.3dm (3.5 MB)
skin test.gh (13.6 KB)
skin test rhino6.3dm (3.1 MB)
Each of these are grouped into these boxes, but can be exploded into 4 pieces.
When I try to use the command “extrudesrf,” I can either start extruding 1/4 of a panel at a time, or when I try to extrude all the panels at once, my computer lags or takes a very long time
When I extrude these panels individually, a quarter of a box at a time, they become hollow instead of a solid, despite me selecting the solid options in the “extrudesrf” options.
For now, I am using the command “dupborder” then using the “trim” command to get rid of excess lines, then “extrudecrv”-ing the created crv to make these panels. I am wondering if there is a quick and efficient way to do this on a large scale. Any help and/or advice would be great!
