Hello Everyone,
I looked for documentation and on youtube but can’t figure this out, hope anyone could help me.
I’m not very familiar with GH, I’m trying to (2D) nest polysurfaces on a sheet, these solids are on the same plane and oriented, OpenNest with his basic options does a pretty decent job.
Only thing is, every part has it’s own object name, but while nesting, that object name goes missing,
Is there a way to keep the object name in each nested object ?
Thank you !
Here’s an example that bakes nested surfaces with their names from the referenced Rhino document.
This file uses the Elefront plug-in. This could be done with other plug-ins or scripts as well.
OpenNest_Obj_Name.3dm (398.2 KB)
OpenNest_Obj_Name.gh (14 KB)

Thank you so much Kevin, This could work as a workaround
No chances of actually keeping the name property then?
I don’t understand what you’re asking.
The baked objects from the output of the OpenNest component should have the same name property as the originals that were referenced from the Rhino file.

Oh sorry, I totally misunderstood, thought it would just write the name as text
Just tried that and it’s exactly what I needed 
Thank you !
To review:
I actually posted my own code in the very first post. Yes, I hadn’t the chance to try that till now and, as I pointed out, based on what I read I thought it was just a workaround and I apologised.
To me the solution is actually in the #5 post where it shows the properties window with the object name, but I can still change it if that bothers you…
No, you posted images of your code. What is needed is the GH and Rhino files, which @kev.r went to the trouble of creating himself.
Yes, marking the wrong post as ‘Solution’ bothers me. Post #5 wasn’t necessary if you had tried the code he posted.
