I am trying to figure out a problem i bumped into turning a single surface to a building façade using triangular meshes.
The thing is, i got the surface of the façade divided as desired, have drawn the lines on it, which meant to define the borders of the future planar panels covering my form, and it does not seem to work, as i think it should.
Maybe i am totally going the wrong way solving my problem, so i would apreciate any form of hint/help
There are several issues here… What is the point of using ‘Line SDL’? It is creating a VERY SHORT line perpendicular (“normal”) to one of the vertices on each subsurface, then its end point is being used to draw lines from all of the vertices (usually four, sometimes three). The only one you see is the diagonal line but the others are there on the edges, including a zero-length line where the point is effectively connected to itself.
I am kind of new to the software, but the thing i tried to do was to first make 1st degree curves/lines from the original subsurface vertices, to get the all the triangular surfaces planar .
I would be more than thankful if there is a way to solve this, that you could share with me.
Hi Joseph, I was searching for a similar topic to my problem and came to yours. The script you posted here is very similar to what I’m trying to implement - although unfortunately I did it all manually in rhino and now I’m stuck. I’m trying to triangulate a facade that is angled and tapered, and not a whole single surface due to the taper. I tried to implement your script, it’s still facing the same issue as I have, where the triangulation goes beyond the edges. I’ve spent a whole day trying to do it in gh which was no luck (even with py script and gpt), which is why I made a rhino block, except the edges and curved parts are the hard part to connect. (FYI, the red are protruding triangles, the yellow are flat panels). If you happen to have any ideas how to simplify this method in gh, it’s much appreciated.
Eight year ago That’s a very long time… I would have to figure out what I did, as well as what you want? But you posted no GH file so there is nothing for me to do.
