Parametric 6‑DOF Plane in Grasshopper

[Volker_Rakow]

I assume that the geometry in blocks have their own “reality”, which is to say, that they don’t interact with and influence outer geometry. So you couldn’t transform the face of a polysurface defined as a block, and expect the other surfaces to come with.

@martinsiegrist and I see that the Model Block Instance component allows you to define the transformation of a block?

I do not spend enough time in the Rhino tab.

@lander

eventually I’m going to be looking into similar things whereby Rhino object properties can be editable similar to how mastercam treats objects.

Are you aware of _BoxEdit?

[lander (CAD CAM CNC)]

yes somewhat aware. but I admit I’m not very experienced with the modern versions of it. I’ve seen amazing things being done with it on the forum.

I still have lots to learn about boxedit

@martinsiegrist

Are you aware of _BoxEdit?

I guess now I’m pondering the difference between box and cage edit…

this is what mostly comes to mind:

MeshCageMorph2

I have more to learn about this too.

Add Mesh Morphing recipe to Rhino?

Something like this? This is with the mesh cage morph component which I shared a version of here. I’d like to make this into a Rhino command too (once I’m done with the multipipe, fuse and wrap commands!)
