Hi Max,

re:
> I need a planar result - not distorted panels - so I would like to test it on a planar, tessellated joint surface..

So yeah, just be aware that it's pretty likely that the examples you saw were not built with this planarity requirement in mind, you will probably need the special functionality for that in Rhino's paneling tools. But maybe you'll find something of interest in experimenting.

Hello wastzzz,

I've posted my last snapshot here http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.200. and wrote some lines to getting started. I think planar panels are not possible a the moment ... I'm not familiar with GH, but I think it works similar to that. So most of the comments are obsolete for you, but I wanted to give some general infos.

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi wastzzz,

You must remember that project Elephant is very much in it's infancy,
and frankly it is a bit DUMBO :) Achieving a desired result can, at times
be frustrating and unnecessarily difficult. e.g. The limitation of "clone" node
to 2 outputs necessitates lots of extraneous wiring. Indeed, I believe (though
I may be wrong) that limiting of object items to single outputs, as opposed to
num and pt items which allow multiple outputs, is an arbitrary restriction, and
the clone node could be done away with completely (i.e. deprecated)

I have attached nod file for you exercise. As an auto-didactic exercise analyses
the various steps. If you have an questions, post them and I will endeavour to
answer. In time it all becomes clearer, and your head hurts less and less.

Thank you very much for following my suggestion having added this little but precious annotation to your post.
If we do that, it will be much, much easier for all to study and learn Project Elephant.

See you,

Hi Wastzz,

Please find attached new nod file greatly simplified by incorporating new Planar node.

thank you!

Hi everyone.

Just in order to keep Project Elephant's stuff straighten up a little bit, I created this new thread :

"Project Elephant's UNOFFICIAL Repository"
at http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8197.1

I hope that it will be useful for everyone.

Best!

that is really helpful, thank you Marco.
