Geco link to Ecotect (flat surfaces)

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to find a way to link my rhino file to ecotect. I found a internet tutorial telling me to use the Geco plugin, which I have, and it seems to be working. But for some reason the lofted objects that I am trying to import into ecotect are flat surfaces, with the same footprints as the lofts.

Attached you can find photos of the Grasshopper file as well as an image of what is happening in Ecotect. I think the problems starts with they way that I am referencing the lofts (made directly in Rhino) into Grasshopper, as you can see in the picture, the surface component is red. Can anyone tell me what went wrong?

Thanks so much! :)

There are some reason that you are using ecotec and not Vasari? (its just a Innocent question)
I think ecotec don't work so well as vasari does...

With Vasari e never tried but you could use this:

Hi!

I have used vasari before and it is much more user friendly, but the thing is I am trying to utilize the wind information to adjust my geometry in grasshopper and I have not found a way to use Vasari's information inside rhino or grasshopper.. Do you happen to know if this is possible?

I don't know but probably not (just a guess)... we can't even take a screenshot of our project (it run on a diferent PE (*.exe))...

Sorry..can't help you.
