Hi. @longlonghin
Polyframe has been updated on Food4Rhino.
Please use the latest version.
It will expire at the end of 2022.
Thanks a lot. Also a big news with polyframeGH. I’m super excited about it !!
Do you have any tips for using a polyframe? I want to use this program, so I keep looking for information, but I don’t have a lot of information. Please help me.
I have another problem with PolyFrame0193. I draw a 3D force diagram and get the PFDual result. But I can not select the result or find the layer to make the PFPrep.
Hi @nejur ,
Would you please help me in this case>?
Hi Hanie, I am not sure what’s happening exactly, but it looks like your force diagram is not valid and hence it fails to generate a dual. Could you provide a bit more information about what kind of form you are trying to create?
Hi, I am not able to install the plugin in my laptop. The .RHI file doesn’t open with rhino.
Please let me know a way to get it installed
it says it is not compatible with your PC version, please contact the developer.
Hi @nejur. It appears the current Polyframe version has expired, do you know when the next version will be available for download?

Hi @nejur
Is there any python package for Polyframe plugin? If not, how can we import it in editpythonscript or ghpython in case we want to automate the form finding process?
Hi,
You can try this:
import clr
clr.AddReference("PolyFramework")
import PolyFramework as pf
objects, primal, dual, container_type = pf.LoadData.LoadPrimalDual(True)

Hi,
Thanks but it still doesn’t work. I want to know if it is a scriptable plugin …
If you have run PolyFrame before you run the script this should work. Otherwise you can try this:
import clr
clr.AddReferenceToFileAndPath("the installed PolyFrame folder\\PolyFramework.dll")
import PolyFramework as pf
objects, primal, dual, container_type = pf.LoadData.LoadPrimalDual(True)
The core functionalities are in PolyFramework.dll which you can reference to using CLR. The only thing is there is not a comprehensive documentation yet, so you have to explore that yourself through the autocomplete list. You can also checkout the source code if you are interested.

Thanks a lot. It works but as you said I have too much to explore. It seems that it’s not as easy as PolyFrame rhino plugin.

Thanks Nejur for your explanations. Now how can we find out the base brep?I mean i need to analze force in a dome, with exact dimensions. How can i know what is the first and fundamental brep? I saw a vault example in 3d graphic static installation folder but i have to questions: 1. Its a cluster with password 2.As i said before how we can know that this brep will led to dome structure?
