Human

Information

Welcome to Human for Grasshopper!

Because humans are animals too!

Any similarity to my own name is, of course, a pure coincidence.

What does it do?

There are two sets of components with different functions:

Human.gha

Extends Grasshopper's ability to create and reference geometry including lights, blocks, and text objects. Also enables access to information about the active Rhino document, pertaining to materials, layers, linetypes, and other settings.

Includes the following components:

(Those in bold are new components with this release.)

Object Creation
- Bake Geometry with Attributes
- Create Hatches
- Create Justified 3d Text
- Create Lights
- Define Block
- Place Blocks
- Create Object Attributes

TreeFrog.gha

This add-on includes a set of components to aid in the advanced manipulation of data tree structures.

Includes the following components:

Assign Paths
Graft by Data
Match Paths (this is pretty much the same as GH's native "Unflatten" - but it came first so I'm leaving it in :D )
Path Description

See the images and reference files for a detailed explanation of the function of these components.

I'd also like to acknowledge the creators of Horster Reference, the first Grasshopper add-on to expose advanced reference functionality. These components definitely build on the work they have done, although they take a slightly different approach.

To install:

In Grasshopper, choose File > Special Folders > Components folder. Make sure you delete all earlier versions of HDTReference.gha, TreeFrog.gha, and Human.gha if there are any. Save the gha file to that directory.
Right-click the file > Properties > make sure there is no "blocked" text
Restart Rhino and Grasshopper

Thanks.

Comment by Andrew Heumann on February 10, 2013 at 2:46pm: Hi Yuval -

As I suspected, the problem is that you're passing Breps instead of true "box" objects to the box to box transform component. When you convert a brep into a box, it calculates the world-oriented bounding box, losing all of your orientation information. If instead of converting to a brep you simply move and orient the box itself, this problem should go away.

Also, in order to avoid null bounding boxes, I would recommend either 1. making sure that all the objects on the "Grips" layer are blocks or 2. using the sort by type component to make sure you're only giving objects of type Rhino.DocObjects.InstanceObject to the BlockExplode component.

See the attached for a working example.

Orientobjecttosurfacenormal_BLOCKS.gh

P.S. are you making a parametric climbing wall? :)
