How to join edges visual gaps of surfaces

ivelin.peychev · May 31, 2018, 3:40pm

I have to spend time with this, I’m relatively new to GH myself. Plus in my field there aren’t very many weird forms like these

This could be solved with data trees manipulation, lists, domains and all that I still can’t understand.

Use a mesh, then use Ngons.

idk man

michael pryor what to do now?

Michael_Pryor · May 31, 2018, 9:42pm

It says “Add library files to: …\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries and unblock them.” and this is for Rhino 6. You just need this plug in so I don’t know how you have so many missing.

intexlann · May 31, 2018, 9:46pm

yes i have added the ngon dll files and unlbocked them before…

Michael_Pryor · May 31, 2018, 9:47pm

You are using Rhino 5, it requires Rhino 6. Update to Rhino 6

It seems not clear to me if you want hexagon, nets, quad … here a solution with some ngons

You need Weavebird, MeshMachine Static and Mesh Dual Thats all folks.

Seek for MeshDual.gha in this page

And use MeshMachine to triangulate

@laurent_delrieu oh yess!! thats exactly what i wanted…thank you so much
God bless!

intexlann · June 1, 2018, 1:13pm

this is cool…though how do i extract the hexagonal shape geometry? i want the structure please help again… i tried baking but its getting complex

laurent_delrieu · June 1, 2018, 1:34pm

I don’t understand. Baking is the way to do. You want mesh polyline … Give a sketch of what you want.

intexlann · June 1, 2018, 1:41pm

photo is after baked…
is it possible to have only hexagonal grid on the surface so that later i can use the grid structure for later use

something like this

hex instead of circle

Mesh edges will give you the curves you need.
