Multipipe Problems

Grasshopper
,
1

Hello all,

I am struggling to figure out the problem with this script. There is no problem when I circumvent Grasshopper by baking the list of lines into Rhino and then perform the Multipipe command on said list. When doing the same within Grasshopper the output is a bunch of ellipsoids. I have tried flattening, grouping, converting to mesh edges, converting to SubD edges - still no change in ouput.

(I have been using 2 control point curves as curve inputs.)

Thanks in advance,

Hunter

Hi @jhunterf
I don’t have the same plugins installed, and the data isn’t internalised, so I can’t test your file, but one thing to be aware of with the GH version of multipipe is that it doesn’t automatically split curves at intersections. If you have curves that cross and want them to have a node there, you’ll need to split the input into segments that have end points at the crossing.

It could also be a tolerance issue, where there are small gaps between end points in the input, like here:

Thanks for the quick response @DanielPiker.

Turns out the file works and I’m just an idiot that needed to understand the Multipipe component a little more.

While your response wasn’t directly helpful as I didn’t have the conflicts you mentioned, it forced me to take a step back.

Attached is a simplified file for the hivemind.

Best to you all.
