hi
is there a way to type random when the rhino command line asks for a numeric value?
example :
command: variable fillet> radius: random
it has to be in the rhino and not in the grasshopper
and number calculations?
example :
command: variable fillet> radius: 1 + 2
thanks
Hello- the second one will work, but no way random directly at the command line as far as I know - you’d need a script for that.
Here’s a thing that will put a randomish number on the clipboard - you can paste to the command line as needed.
ClipboardRandom.py (1.4 KB)
To use the Python script use RunPythonScript, or a macro:
_-RunPythonScript "Full path to py file inside double-quotes"
-Pascal
You could kind of fake a random number between -1 and plus 1 by typing sin( and then mashing the number pad, e.g. sin(2462562562) = 0.51 but it is of course biased away from zero and many rhino commands won’t accept negative numbers
what would be the command line that i would have to type in the example you gave above?
no variable fillet: radius:
Hello - when you have a prompt for a radius at the command line, type 1+2 and Enter. Does that work?
-Pascal
actually i wanted several handles randomly distributed with several random radius in the command: variable fillet by typing some command in the command line
it’s possible ?
making it so that the drawn object is more like real objects
Hello - no, that is not possible, but if the goal is to simulate the imperfections in real objects, I would look at modeling in SubD.

-Pascal
use SubD how?
control points?
or have some kind of procedural process? how to apply noise?
I’m not talking about creating organic objects like a human
I want to deform inorganic objects like the wooden sheets in a cabinet that are cut with a circular saw that doesn’t have as precise cuts as the objects cut by laser.
is there any way to do this with any procedural process in rhino?
