Hey there, I can almost always find what I need on here but I’m striking out hard on information regarding Ivy and mesh flattening. My goal is to assemble this model out of laser cut paper with glue tabs, and to have each row of the mesh as a different piece of paper…Screenshot attached, but I can’t use the pictured method because it requires separating the mesh, so I lose the ability to create glue tabs between rows.
It seems like there should be an easy way to segment by rows, rather than some funky tree structure.
Another random problem I’m having is joining mesh faces in each branch. Mesh join wants to automatically flatten, has anyone experienced this problem?
My first useful Python script! Because I don’t know how to do this with Anemone:
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
pLen = 0
partLen = []
for i in x:
pLen += 1
if (i == False):
partLen.append(pLen)
pLen = 0
In a way, this is a combination of the first two methods, yet entirely different. It uses RelItem to compare mid-points of mesh face edges. When they are equal, the edges (and faces) are adjacent. The Python transforms the list of Boolean values into a list of partition lengths and voila, “Bob’s your uncle”!
