Here is a Screen Shot for my Geodesic Dome Script. It only provides the correct number of line segments and points to create a 2nd order (ICOSAHEDRON Face edges divided by 2, yielding 3 line segments, yielding 10 triangles). There is NO Visual basic plugin. That is 61 points and 165 line segments, I created a second script to create connectors that interlock with pipes. I plan to combine the two scripts soon. The idea is to create connectors with makerbots to create kits,…

Sounds really stupid but I was not sure if the script was able to run using a referenced surface created in Rhino, it can, you simply have to unplug a bunch of things to get it to work. Next thing is so make the origin point adaptive, so you can bake the geometry onto existing Rhino site plans, maybe introduce a separate focus point for the geometry and finally make a rotation input for it.

My first experiments began using grasshopper without references to Rhino geometry because a year ago I didn't have a hundred bucks to buy Rhino so I didn't want to use up the 25 saves on a Grasshopper model, After all Rhino does have a lot of geometry laid out within the "blank" document, it basically describes 3D space using a Cartesian Coordinate System right? Well, if that is true, than you can exploit it!



A year later and I've purchased Rhino, which is wonderful, but I've continued… Continue
