Box to Polyhedra

Hi guys!, i´ve been trying to create a polyhedra object from a box...its not so hard, just with one box.
You can divide the box, then cull pattern the points and create 4 point surfaces.
But Im working on a field of boxes, and i would like to have different polyhedras on each box, in term of subdivision.
If i use the jitter componet sometimes the 4 point surfaces are overlapped, since their order is messed up.
Any ideas????

ok....so here's what i came up with....
Thanks David for your screen shot of random points on a volume.
I'm using the new Facet Dome component, but after connecting it i get the following message...
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"....I really don't understand what that is....
ideas???

Just Flatten the input to the Facet component.

Theunis...
yes....that solution is generating one single facet dome.
i would like to have facet domes in each box.
the definition works but every time i move the rhino point or change something
the facet dome component sends that error.....
thanks for taking the time.

Hi.
I'm digging up this topic.
Interested in polyhexa form finding, I was wondering what was the best way to create such shapes.

I've added polyhedra (not all yet) and tessellation to the Geometry Gym StructDrawRhino plug-in (http://www.geometrygym.com/downloads )

So if a plug-in is acceptable you won't have to code it all for yourself. I'll happily add any further polyhedra by request ASAP.

Cheers,

Jon

Thanks for you reply.
I've just installed your plugin for a try ( and asked for a licence by the way)
I encountered an error window a the opening of grasshopper.
So I unticked the coff box in the settings as explained.
The toolbar is now visible but it remains a grasshopper loading error called priority: sdrGHInit.
"object reference not set to an instance of an object"
It may deal with the licence authorization?
looking forward to testing it
Thanks again

Hi Thibaut,

Sorry, I've been offline for a few days. Did you get the plug-in working?

Can you tell me which version of Grasshopper you are using? The problem you are describing sounds like an issue that arose in GH 0.7.0045 in the way I was inheriting from Grasshopper data structures that I have since resolved. Can you try downloading the latest version of the plug-in please?

I will help you with getting this working.

Cheers,

Jon
