baking the struts

Hello all,

I am recently using python in grasshopper. I have created homogeneous struts (mesh) using Intralattice. I want to automatically bake this strut using python to get my .stl output file instead of doing it manually.

I have written this script to print the output mesh. However, no baking occurs. Could anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks.

Maryam

Hi Myriam,

Python does not print meshes to STL using the print function/statement.

In fact, Rhino's internal representation is not a STL mesh by itself.

You can either bake to Rhino and script the _Export command, or use a third-party lirbary, or write the STL file yourself (not that difficult).

See these discussions:

Hi Giulio,

Many thanks for you reply. I tried to use these links to bake my grasshopper mesh in rhino and export it. However, I do not know how the python script detect my generated mesh in rhino. I attach what I did. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
