Hi, I have a building with a parapet enclosed by a larger box
All elements are boxes. How can I first do the Boolean difference of the building and the parapet. Then do the Boolean difference of the building with parapet and enclosure. The following code is written in Rhino Python Editor. Code is added as an attachment!
addboxes.py (1.3 KB)
You can do it like this:
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
from math import *
l = 40 # building length in m
w = 30 # building width in m
pH = 0.4 # parapet height in m
pW = 0.3 # parapet width in m
h = 10 + pH # roof height in m
#Addbox building
p1 = (-l/2,-w/2,0)
p2 = (l/2, -w/2,0)
p3 = (l/2, w/2,0)
p4 = (-l/2, w/2,0)
p5 = (-l/2,-w/2,h)
p6 = (l/2, -w/2,h)
p7 = (l/2, w/2,h)
p8 = (-l/2, w/2,h)
building = rs.AddBox([p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6,p7,p8])
#Addbox parapet
pp1 = (-l/2 + pW/2,-w/2 + pW/2,h)
pp2 = (l/2 - pW/2, -w/2 + pW/2,h)
pp3 = (l/2 - pW/2, w/2 - pW/2,h)
pp4 = (-l/2 + pW/2, w/2 - pW/2,h)
pp5 = (-l/2 + pW/2,-w/2 + pW/2,h-pH)
pp6 = (l/2 - pW/2, -w/2 + pW/2,h-pH)
pp7 = (l/2 - pW/2, w/2 - pW/2,h-pH)
pp8 = (-l/2 + pW/2, w/2 - pW/2,h-pH)
parapet = rs.AddBox([pp1,pp2,pp3,pp4,pp5,pp6,pp7,pp8])
#Addbox enclosure
pe1 = (-l/2 - 5*h, -w/2 - 5*h,0)
pe2 = (l/2 + 10*h, -w/2 - 5*h,0)
pe3 = (l/2 + 10*h, w/2 + 5*h,0)
pe4 = (-l/2 - 5*h, w/2 + 5*h,0)
pe5 = (-l/2 - 5*h, -w/2 - 5*h,6*h)
pe6 = (l/2 + 10*h, -w/2 - 5*h,6*h)
pe7 = (l/2 + 10*h, w/2 + 5*h,6*h)
pe8 = (-l/2 - 5*h, w/2 + 5*h,6*h)
enclosure = rs.AddBox([pe1,pe2,pe3,pe4,pe5,pe6,pe7,pe8])
# b = rs.GetObject("building")
# enc = rs.GetObject("enclosure")
# par =rs.GetObject("parapet")
bool_1 = rs.BooleanDifference(building, parapet)
bool_2 = rs.BooleanDifference(enclosure, bool_1)
Thank you, this worked!
When I try to save the geometry via the script, a dialog box pops up, but it doesn’t save it when I press save. How can I clear the geometry between each run and save it automatically?
I tried to use:
rs.SaveFileName(“Save file”,None,“C:\Users\john\Desktop\R_geo_script”, “Rhino_cuboid_parapet_L= %gx_W= %gx_H= %g_p=%gx%g " % (l,w,h),”.x_t")
Is “C:\Users\john\Desktop\R_geo_script” a valid directory path?
Also try to change “Rhino_cuboid_parapet_L= %gx_W= %gx_H= %g_p=%gx%g " % (l,w,h) to "Rhino_cuboid_parapet_L={}_W={}_H={}_p={}".format(l, w, h)
