Hi! I’m fairly new to Grasshopper and I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to use a mesh difference to remove the volume of a mesh from a larger mesh that completely surrounds it. This is how my setup looks like with front, top and perspective view:
It seems to me that the problem is that the mesh I’m trying to subtract is fully enclosed by the larger mesh and does not intersect it. I’ve tried to make the smaller mesh “intersect” with the outside mesh by drawing a curve, converting it to a pipe, then to a mesh. I joined this mesh pipe to the original mesh like so:
My current Grasshopper file is very complicated, so I’ll make a replica with the part I need help with and will upload soon. Thanks so much for your reply!
the pipe component has a Cap input where you can select what kind of caps the pipe has by an integer
you will also need to generate a closed mesh for the 1.obj file
Hi again! The grouped components worked for my battery .obj file but did not work for my buzzer .obj file, which I’ve attached to this message. Is there perhaps a more general way to close this mesh? Thanks!
