Grasshopper automatically “translates” default planes to readable names, like “World XY”.
I am exporting a long list of planes to text files to use in another software. How can I prevent Grasshopper from this translation and just give me the normal values like for all other planes. I mean it’s kind of neat, but also a bit too simplified. I couldn’t find anything in settings.
I typically deconstruct the plane and text join the origin, x & y with a ;
I normally do that too, but since in the other software I import it in literally the same format, it seems silly to decompose, compose again as text.
Maybe @DavidRutten can add an option somewhere to not do any of the automatic translation stuff. It’s good for beginners, but after a while you know what a normal xy plane looks like in values.
Oh yeah, its actually quite a lot of work, since planes use ( ) normal brackets, but points use { } curly brackets. So you have to deconstruct twice.
It’s quite messy and very easy to get something wrong in there, just because of an “intelligent” feature.
I an see that being an issue, my use has always been for user text and rebuilding in GH. A good regex expression might be a solution.
