Measure Wrap pipe intersection

[MyHopper (Ngoc)]

Hi everyone
i have difficulty measuring the intersection of pipes when spreading the image on a flat sheet and then exporting the result to AutoCad.
Please help me.
Thanks a lot.

someone help me, please.

What’s the problem? Do you have a Rhino file with a pipe intersection?

this uses Lunchbox’s Unroll:

not sure there’s a vanilla unroll component

I think the keyword in the opening post might be “measuring”:

I have difficulty measuring the intersection of pipes when spreading the image on a flat sheet and then exporting the result to AutoCad.

Like, Ngoc might not understand how to find the min and max of the curves for dimensioning.

[MyHopper (Ngoc)]

Oh, looks like i made a little mistake in the title.
My goal is to measure the dimensions of the tubular spread out on the flat plate so that I can cut this intersection point accurately.

[Volker_Rakow]

Right, but is your problem in the measuring or laying out the pipe flat? Or both?

[MyHopper (Ngoc)]

I wish I could solve both problems. Can you give me some guidance?
Thanks so much.

In theory, set the ‘Offset’ slider to the same value as ‘Tape Width’, or use one slider for both. In practice, that causes an “Invalid Brep” from Loft but using a slightly smaller value for ‘Offset’ appears to work (5.315 instead of 5.316). Too bad Swp1 is useless when the tape wraps touch.

I lost this tool, where can I find it, thanks for your help.

[MyHopper (Ngoc)]

I appreciate your help, but my problem seems simpler than the example you gave.

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that component is coming from the Human plugin… anyway that was used just for visualization, and it’s responsible for drawing the red contours in this image
