Use kangaroo_ triRemesh in C# Visual studio

[asdbeen53 (Zebin Chen)]

Dear all,
I wonder if anyone knows how to use Daniel Picker’s Powerful triRemesh inside Visual Studio.

I have added the reference inside but it seems I can’t directly call the method as we do it in Rhino Grasshopper. I know the algorithm is currently packaged inside the GH solve instance.

Appreciate it if anyone could help.

@DanielPiker - Can you help with this?

hi there, I will try my luck here.

I am trying to access TriRemesh from the C# component in Grasshopper without success yet. Is there any way to do this @DanielPiker ?

For context: I want to run the meshing in Parallel to speed it up as I have a bunch of Breps to mesh at the same time. So far this approach worked very well with QuadRemesh and the default mesher, but both have their own issue for my use case. (running Kangaroo solver afterwards on the mesh).

Happy about any hints.

Cheers,
Bernd

Hi. Eventually, my solution for this is to wrap the remesh functions in CGAL (C++) in c# to use

Alternatively, you might take a look at this

Using the NodeInCode namespace

Note: if you are planning on using this functionality in Python, you can also use the ghpythonlib.components wrapper library, which is easier to use in Python. As some noticed some time ago, we have been working on NodeInCode functionality. The goal was to make this functionality more understandable – with warnings that could give useful suggestions, stable – also when used with multi-threading, and more robust to cases where third-party libraries would not cooperate. While at it, we decided…

Thank you. I’ll take a look at both.

for wrapping c++ to c# i will recommend you this tutorial
