New Data Types Available in GH1 Have you ever been frustrated that you couldn’t bake geometry with custom attributes? What about display materials? Have you ever wanted to be able to use native Rhino materials in the Grasshopper display pipeline? How about importing files into Grasshopper - have yo…

We do plan to add more components for material creation/editing. That likely includes adding new datatypes for bitmaps and UV mapping.

[image] Andy Payne: We’re also looking for your feedback as to what data types we should include next. Which types would be most useful for your workflow? Do you need blocks? lights? dimensions? clipping planes? named sheet views? lights please!

Alright, thanks for your answer. (So I guess there is nothing planned for the other properties?) I encounter the need to access “Curve Piping” or “Thickness” properties when I create a custom export or create a shader node.

It’s definitely something we can add to our list. We don’t have a definitive timeline for when various features are added, but I’ll make sure this gets added to the roadmap.

Driving UV Mapping for nurbs from Grasshopper would be fantastic. Currently a lot of us rely on ‘Human’ for UV mapping but it only works with meshes.

There seems to be an error in the Model Layer component or is the below the expected behavior? Marked in red: [image] Best Morten

Can you post this example file? I’d like to look into this a little closer.

Amazing work, @AndyPayne . Now that Blocks are out of the way. Can we please for the love of God have Lights in grasshopper and in Blocks :smiley: haha. Grasshopper would be a beast in lighting and rendering applications if this is implemented. Just look at the competition. 3ds Max just just recent…

Sure… didn’t save the script, aaand now I can’t recreate it… :sweat_smile: It works as expected. Edit: @AndyPayne Found something else though. Baking layers with the same “child” name does not produce the expected result: [image] File attached right away this time: :smile: SameNamedChildLaye…
