Project an object with color and texture

Hello everybody,
I am struggling to have a clear projection of these three objects in all 6 faces of the box.
I would like to keep only the visible parts and dash the invisible ones.

Any ideas on how to achieve that?
Thank you very much!

Looks more like a box than a pyramid to me?

Make2D But I found it horribly non-intuitive the last time I tried it.

Maybe these provides some insight.

Make2d Grasshopper

Hi @mikael.spinnangr I’m not exactly sure what you mean by your question, but maybe something like this? I created a very simple Make2D setup in Gh, and used a couple of Elefront components to sort curves to branches and apply original coloring.

Make section in grasshopper!

Here is a more generalised example of using Make2D with clipping planes. With some small optimisations, and colouring. Rh7, uses Elefront Legacy. [kuva] [kuva] Make2D.3dm (97.0 KB) Make2D.gh (17.1 KB)

No, because both of your examples require EleFront.

Can either one be done using R8 instead? Pyramid Brep could be internalized, Custom Preview Lineweights (Human) can be ignored because it’s cosmetic, I don’t know what Two Way Domain (Pufferfish) does

I don’t know what Two Way Domain (Pufferfish) does

Of course, it’s trivial:

I tried to replace Pyramid Brep with a simple cluster but missed something…?
I changed many hidden wires to ‘Feint’. All for nothing.

Thanks Joseph,
I did try to use Make2d and read the previous articles, but I found if very complicated and laborious to use.
There must be another way to flatten a solid into a 2d component taking into account the visible and invisible lines though…

[arch.lucadamore]

Thanks Toni but I cannot open Elefront plugin

[Toni_Osterlund]

The Elefront part is just for the coloring and bake, the rest of the scripts should give you what you want. Considering the Make2d is made for the purpose of your need - you should invest the time to learn to use it. There’s really not a lot of options for you, short of coding it yourself with RhinoCommon functionalities.

Make2D via a python script keeps crashing Rhino

Script below keeps crashing the model. Make2D command works fine. import Rhino.Geometry from Rhino.DocObjects import ObjectType from Rhino.Display import RhinoPageView import scriptcontext as sc import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs def BatchMake2D(): selected_page_names = rs.MultiListBox([i.PageName for i in sc.doc.Views.GetPageViews()]) if selected_page_names == None: return selected_pages = [i for i in sc.doc.Views.GetPageViews() if i.PageName in selected_page_names] f…

Using a Python script or a RhinoScript to replicate a Make2D command

Hi! I’ve been trying to find a script equivalent of the Make2D command so that I could make more uses of it without the restrictions that the command has. Does such a think even exist?

If not required, why is it there?

[Toni_Osterlund]

@mikael.spinnangr

Is there a way in GH where I can make2d but re-sort the curves based on which object it came from?

, and

@Toni_Osterlund

just for the coloring and bake

[Joseph_Oster]

I know you are trying to help us understand Make2D but why be so inscrutable? We are no closer to having working code than we were ten posts ago

I did try to use Make2d and read the previous articles, but I found if very complicated and laborious to use.

I also don’t have that pyramid-thing plugin, but this is a very straightforward way to use Make2D to project on cube faces (the actual Make2D-related components are in the red group, not that complicated )

because I’m using the View Component, this will only work on R8

@inno beat me to it, but yeah, here’s the same basic example. Rh8, sans plugins.

Setting up a script that creates an isomestric and dimetric views based on a plane sounds like an interesting project for me to familiarize myself with the Make2D and Model View components

[arch.lucadamore]

Thank you very much Toni,
I do not have a “view component” you are using, can you please tell me where to download it?

Thank you

[wim (Wim Dekeyser)]

Hi Arch -

@arch.lucadamore

I do not have a “view component” you are using, can you please tell me where to download it?

Model View is a standard Grasshopper component in Rhino 8; it’s not something you can download separately.

[arch.lucadamore]

Oh thank you, I am using Rhino 7, is there a way to use another component to achieve the same definition passage?
Thank you Wim

[Volker_Rakow]

Do you have the Make2D Parallel component? It should be in the same panel as Make2D if Rhino 7 has it.

Otherwise the simple answer is “no”. Without the Model View component, you cannot create your own views on the fly. You can only work with view created and set in Rhino.

[Toni_Osterlund]

Hi @arch.lucadamore
You can use this component in Rh7.

The caveat is that you need to find the proper plane angle/direction/orientation/position per face. It’s not very intuitive in Rh7. Maybe @wim can assisit in finding the correct configuration for each 6 views…?
