Hello!
I have a bit of a specific task that I hope to accomplish . I have a series of mammal teeth in .stl and .ply format. The teeth have a large amount of curvature from top to bottom. I need to take cross-sections along the length of the tooth, intersecting the surface at a 90 degree angle.
Thank you for any potential recommendations!
Hi Jackson - the Section command will help - if you want them to all fall on a specific arc, mark the center with a point and use that to help - another option - make a polar array of lines and Project them through the meshes.
If you have a more complex curve,(or even just radial) try the script for SectionRadlal and SectionPath, here: http://wiki.mcneel.com/people/pascalgolay
Ancient, but workable, last time I checked.
Foremost, thank you for the response. I’ve having trouble initiating the script. I’ve downloaded it, extracted it, and dropped it into an open Rhino project and the program states, “Cannot find script file C:\CT Applications\Rhino\Utility\radialsections\RadialSections.rvb”
Do you have any suggestions? I’m running Rhino 5.0. Thanks for your time!
