Tween objects (blocks)?

[ivan.galik]

Is there a command to interpolate objects?

Lets say i have two identical blocks and i want new blocks to be interpolated between those two original.
I can think of grasshopper way through this but maybe there is a direct way.

Thanks

sth like this

Hello - there is nothing in plain Rhino that will do this.

Ok i will do this in grasshopper. But i think it could be useful and good addition to tweencurves and surfaces.
I think it could only be used directly for blocks because they have coordinate system which can be interpolated easily. Basic objects dont know which are their reference planes, or maybe user could define reference and target plane. I am just thinking out loud.

simple enough:

now i can try grasshopper player for the first time and make this script my everyday command.
i think it might be the most powerful tool ever. everybody will just create their own tools and that will be it.

OK my excitement lasted three seconds.

no way to get blocks… elefront can do it so should native component

I’ve only now looked into this, but I believe there’s a simple work around where you can put a GUID param and an Extended Geometry param right after the Get Geometry input, and that will help you reference in blocks.

GH Player not working with blocks!

TL;DR: Set it so the Get Geometry input feeds into a GUID Param, then Elefront’s Extended Geometry param. This will reference the block and pass it into the rest of the script. As @wim explained, Blocks are not native in Grasshopper, but of course Elefront is able to handle them, so if we can find a way to get the block into the script, we have a shot. In this case, the problem is that Grasshopper doesn’t realize it’s referencing a block, because it’s not set up for that. For example, if we hav…

if you dont have 30443 of them then a tween curve with a simple line rotated will help you getting the rotation interpolated, the rest you do with a quick orient along the center.

but alright you most probably have the covered for yourself by now, just wanted try a rhino only method.
