Thanks Robert. I really like your minimal surface plugin. I hope it will be completely integrated into GH soon. The icons look great.

thanks. what do you mean by completely integrated?

that your plug-in will be part of GH and has not to be installed separately. I guess Davis is deciding this...

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your minimal surface plugin. It makes things so much simpler. I have a question however, When i used the Minimal Surface from 2 closed curves, How can I adjust the broadness or thickness of the body? Or I cant be able to do anything bout it?

 

Thank you.

that is what i was thinking, but you must realize that when you play with that value its not a "true" minimal surface. but i gave you that control for this exact reason. 

 

but you do not want to adjust the uv value you want to adjust "I",  set I = 0 for true minimal surface, set it to anything else to play with how much the surface is relaxed.

Yes, you are right. But on the other hand depending on the stiffness ratio between surface u and v directions the minimal surface changes it's shape. And that is what is predominantly happening by changing the U and V values in your great plugin. Setting "I" to 0 gives (in my example) almost no noticeable change in the shape.

However, I hope at least some of this helps Barry.
