Hi, @jessesn ! I installed WIP (9.0.26097.12305, 2026-04-07) but I don’t see the new components. [image] related to: Rhino WIP Feature: ShapeMap for GH1

@jessesn , I tested on my module, it seems that the orientation is not kept. maybe this is expected? Nevertheless, if would be good if could be kept, otherwise the component won’t work for these kinds of cases - which are common. [image] [image] 2-2_MeshModule-test.gh (98.2 KB)

[image] Bogdan_Chipara: I DeleteMeshNgons but the rersult is the same. I’m not suggesting that you use DeleteMeshNgons to clean up the N-Gons :joy:. I’m just telling you the cause of the current issue. You need to rebuild a pure quad mesh, for example like the one below, for your reference […

[image] I cleand up the module, all quads, vertices aligned… and still it’s not aligning as it should. I attached the rhino file with it. Please test with my geometry. shapemap module.3dm (251.9 KB) [image]

Yes, I am aware that my module is not seamless in both directions, U and V are not the same. My question is… Since you already use a guide curve, why not align the modules using it as a vector? To control the U and V directions. This way the component will know how to orient modules like this one…

[image] Bogdan_Chipara: Without some sort of alignment, ShapeMap will only work properly for seamless patterns in both U V directions at the same time. Yes, this is currently a limitation of MeshModule. It requires truly seamless modules that can be tiled in both the U and V directions simult…

Yes, and what I’m suggesting is: use the guide line to align the modules in the Mesh2Map component, and then afterwards place them on the shape. eg: So U is always pointing in the direction of the line. [image]
