The configurator outputs a dxf the works great for cutting on a laser cutter cutfile_example.dxf (1.1 MB)
What I am having a heck of a time with is efficiently and quickly creating geometry that is created froim all the inside elements added to (edited to fix glarring mistake in original post) the outer (circle or polygon). This geometry would then be extruded. My attempts so for are taking over a minute to complete, I need to bring that duration down to 8-10 seconds.
Any help would be truly appreciated. I will happily share my current grasshopper file with all who believe they can assist.
I was excited to see your reply, , unitil I realized that maybe I didn’t properly define the problem.
Can you see if you could work your magic using this Grasshopper File (A simplified definition) as a starting point instead of starting with the dxf file.
By the way, you are generating ten rotation angles but four of them are duplicates. Changing the value of Series ‘C’ (Count) from 10 to 6 has no apparent effect on the end result.
That’s not a “side note”, it’s the opposite of the earlier file and changes everything!
The easiest way, if not the most elegant, is to replace the SDiff with SUnion.
Please let me apologize if there was any confusion. I see now how I worded the original post led you to think that the ring would not be poart of the design. I am so very sorry for the confusion.
Thanks to @Joseph_Oster for the help. I put an early prototype of the configurator up (without the ability to edit the curve, I’ll get to that tomorrow, right now the wife and hottub are calling.)
