Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi,

I'm trying to learn how to write components inside grasshopper and I decided to write a small component that outputs a möbius strip surface. I have manage to output a list of points and I want to convert this to a surface through the Surface from Points command but I do not know where to find. I have tried looking in the Rhinocommon SDK and this forum but so far I had no luck.

Any ideas where this is located?

This is my code so far:

private void RunScript(double u, double v, double r, ref object A)
{

if (u == 0 || v == 0){
u = 100;
v = 100;
};

if (r == 0 ){
r = 1;
}

double uLowerLimit = 0;
double uUpperLimit = 2 * Math.PI;
double uStep = 2 / u * Math.PI;

double vLowerLimit = -1;
double vUpperLimit = 1;
double vStep = (2 / v);

List<Point3d> pts = new List<Point3d>();

for (double uu = uLowerLimit; uu <= uUpperLimit; uu += uStep){
for (double vv = vLowerLimit; vv <= vUpperLimit; vv += vStep){

double x = (r + (vv * Math.Cos(uu / 2))) * Math.Cos(uu);
double y = (r + (vv * Math.Cos(uu / 2))) * Math.Sin(uu);
double z = (vv) * Math.Sin(uu / 2);

pts.Add(new Point3d(x, y, z));
}
}


A = pts;

}

Hi Miguel

have a look at the NurbsSurface.CreateFromPoints static method:

http://www.rhino3d.com/5/rhinocommon/html/M_Rhino_Geometry_NurbsSur...

A List<Point3d> is IEnumerable<Point3d>, so it is compatible.

I hope it helps,
