Hi,
I am trying to write a simple python script to check the distance between pieces. My idea is to project the pieces to XY plane and extract the borders from surfaces. After that, I am planning to offset them to check if there are any intersection points. I attached the initial code. It creates the surfaces though I was not able to create curves from the border.
offsetCheck.py (478 Bytes)
Thanks,
Kamil
I figured out up to this point though still I need a clean outline. It is easy in Rhino by CurveBoolean but it works differently on the python scripting side.
Hello,
Grasshopper and RhinoCommon have something called Clash.
You can also use these method.
Grasshopper Clash Component
Clash API in RhinoCommon
Thanks for the suggestion though before checking the intersections I need to have clear boundaries of the objects and offset those lines with a desirable value. (we usually use 0.75" which is a bit bigger than the bit for the rough cut on CNC) if I figure out that via Python then I can combine it with Grasshopper to make it interactive. I know it is easy to make this with Grasshopper but I want to improve my Python knowledge and the best way is to create some tasks and try to solve them I guess
