Registering input parameters and passing the to SolveInstance

Hello!

I'm working my way though creating a component and I'm stuck on passing the registered input parameters to the solve instance function. The problem is while assigning an input surface. I undertsnd that the type Surface is protected so do I need to use Rhino.DocObjects.SurfaceObject? if so how do I use it?

the  code below and the VS project attached:

 

Many thanks in advance!

///

Registers all the input parameters for this component.

       /// </summary>

       protected override void RegisterInputParams(GH_Component.GH_InputParamManager pManager)

        {

            pManager.AddBrepParameter(

"Surface", "S", "Surface to generate the grid onto",0);

            pManager.AddIntegerParameter(

"Hexagrid.Ux", "Ux", "Number of grid cells in U direction", 0);

            pManager.AddIntegerParameter(

"Hexagrid.Uy", "Uy", "Number of grid cells in V direction", 0);

        }

       /// <summary>

       /// Registers all the output parameters for this component.

       protected override void RegisterOutputParams(GH_Component.GH_OutputParamManager pManager)

        {

            pManager.Register_CurveParam(

"HexagridOnSrf.C", "C", "Grid Cell Outlines");

            pManager.Register_PointParam(

"HexagridOnSrf.P", "P", "Points at grid centres");

        }

protected override void SolveInstance(IGH_DataAccess DA)

        {

           

//We begin by performing a series of checks

　           

Surface S = new Surface();          

if (!DA.GetData(0, ref S))               

return;

           Int32 Ex = 1;           

if (!DA.GetData(1, ref Ex))

               return;

           Int32 Ey = 1;

           if (!DA.GetData(1, ref Ey))

               return;

as I heard... user can not create type surface. try to use brep.

(you can use created surface but not create surface yourself)

also, there are some GH Plugins, that create HexGrid on Surface.

check it together :)

Hi Kwon!

Thanks for replying, it appears that Brep as a type is also protected, I just want to pass the referenced surface to the SolveInstance.

I know about the hexagrid components in those add-onns, it's just that I've got the code in a CSharp scripting component and want to learn to create a GHA. 8)

Cheers

did you tried...

Surface S = new Surface(); 
 

to

Brep S = new Brep();

and doesn't it work?

Register a surface collection parameter with this:

pManager.Register_SurfaceParam("Surface", "S", "Surface to generate the grid onto",0);

 

In the solve method, try something like this:

GH_Surface ghsurface = null;
if (!DA.GetData<GH_Surface>(0, ref ghsurface) || !ghsurface.IsValid)
   return;
Surface s = ghsurface.Value;

Hope it helps.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for that, I've got  GH_IO, GH_Util, Grasshopper and Rhinocommon dlls referenced and have declared these directives:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using Grasshopper.Getters;

using Grasshopper.Plugin;

using Grasshopper.Kernel;

using Rhino.Geometry;

 But there is an error that the type GH_Surface could not be found, Am I missing something else?

Thanks again


Evert

Add

using Grasshopper.Kernel.Types;

Hi Jon,  Thanks for the hint. In the end I needed to cast it and used:

GH_Surface ghsurface = null;

if (!DA.GetData/font>GH_Surface>(0, ref ghsurface) || !ghsurface.IsValid)           

return;         

Surface S = null;

 ghsurface.CastTo(out S);

 

Cheers

Hi Evert,

I am having the same problem you had with inputting a surface.

Did you use this as your input line? pManager.Register_SurfaceParam("Surface", "S", "Surface to generate the grid onto",0);

I have all the references and the directives as you posted here except GH_Util.

The problem that I am having now is the "Register_SurfaceParam" can not be found. Do you think this is because of missing GH_Util reference? If yes, how can I reference this?

I tried "using Grasshopper.Kernel.Utility;" and still not finding "Register_SurfaceParam"!!!

Also, I would greatly appreciate it if you can share your code.

 

Thanks,

 

Naciem

Hi Naciem,

you'll need Grasshopper.Kernel.DataTypes,  I haven't got my pc here to check what I wrote, sorry!

I'll post the code a bit later!

Cheers

Hi Evert,

I realized what I was doing wrong and it's working now.

Thanks for your response though!

Jon,

 

I'm getting an error when I try to import my own class objects (e.g.I_Model_NodeSupport). Do you know how to handle these?

 

Cheers.
