Hi. I created a non-double curve surface. Unrolled it on XY Plane and Split it into 8 equal sheets. Then add a simple grid pattern to it and Now want to roll back the flat pattern to source surface.
I tried Map to Srf without success as it stretches the pattern to fit.
then used Surface Morph but it didn’t work neither as it need U@V domain and I don’t know How to adjust it. Any Idea of how to do it accurately? Note that the grid pattern is permanent and final pattern is a more complicated drawing combined with this grid so I need to Unroll the surface and apply drawing first.
Use any plug-in which has surface unroll component. It will work, because it is not a surface with double curvature. Then use Map to Surface component with your initial surface, your unrolled surface and your pattern curves and you are done.
Thanks for quick reply.
Here is the GH file with Internalized data and Rhino file. and Image Uploaded is showing the problem with map to surface component. As U can see it Stretches the circles.
Oh yes… The trouble is you can do it only with Squish and SquishBack. You can find a Squish component on the forum… However there is no SquishBack one written by anybody. Your only option is doing it outside of grasshopper as far as I know.
Problem Solved.
Yeah I knew about squish and squish back but it is most useful for Double crv surfaces.
The key is to rebuild the source surface by trimming it from a main equal-perpendicular UV surface
I am facing the same issue and I was wondering if you could share your script for this problem, it seems you solved a problem i am facing.
Basically, I have a surface in the shape of a conical cylinder. I unrolled the surface and lay on it a certain pattern. I want to reroll that surface now with the pattern on it back into its original form. Can you help?
