Hi All,

I have for some time had small image attached as my desktop background image,
so I decided to model it parametrically in NE. See result below

At first glance it seem very simple, & well it is, but the pertinent issue is that for
facets to remain planar the major peak meeting of 6 faces must move opposite and
relative to the minor peak meeting of 3 faces. see .nod file attached

Looks like desert dunes viewed from the sky!

Cool!

Hi All,

Just some instagram eye candy
(NE of course)

Have a great weekend

Hello Friends
Lips ......
sometimes it's nice to follow your imagination ,
an image a perfume a memory can
connect worlds,and areas, apparently distant......

Hello James,

very cool -Reminds me of Richard Deacon.

A nice day to all

Hello Friends ,
today an exercise of tension and relaxation of the surfaces, obtained on the faces,
performed in a basic Icosahedron-

Hi Friends
the repetition of structure with base
arc, rotated and scaled, can produce
an effect of considerable depth ....

Hi Friends ,
since I have not installed yet
the last Beta V4 x Moi,
and that the James's Shell command I do not have the possibility
to experiment it, I wondered if it could work
also for jointed Polysurfaces, quite complex
like the one resulting from my exercise squeezer .....

attached a screnshoot of shell and fillet made in Catia (preview result for this modeler) ,
importing the stp file from the Nodeeditor ...
But if any of you can do it,
I'd be curious to know if you can solidify with shell in Nodeeditor
Have nice day

Hello Al,
shell has a bug - I will have a look the next days.

Have a nice day

Hello Karsten
As usual, very kind and very helpful
thank you
I will wait to see the result...
Have a nice evening

Hi Al,

Did you try baking out model (clicking "Apply" button on NE Nav Bar)
from your NE setup? It also, cannot be shelled with manual "Shell" tool.
The model as it is constructed, is beyond the limits of Moi's geometry
tolerances for shell function to operate as expected.

It looks cool, though to get it to shell will require alternative approach.
(perhaps slicing into stepped curves for lofting prior to shell operation)
Good Luck!

Hi Karsten,

It would be great if you could have a look at shell node.

It generally works in "Normal" mode, but I could not get "Centerline" &
"flip" options to work, so I abandoned multi-mode, but it would be good
to have the options.

I've attached construct2.js with latest version

Have a nice day
James

Hello Al, Hello James,

please test the following code for the shell command:

    // Shell
function Shell()
{
	this.addInput("Surfaces","objectlist");
    this.addInput("Thickness","numarray");
    
	this.addOutput("Out","objectlist");
    
    this.properties = { mode:["Long","Long","Short"], thickness:[1], direction:["Normal","Normal","Flip","Centerline"] };
    
}

Shell.title = "Shell";
Shell.desc = "Shell";

Shell.prototype.onExecute = function()
{
    var surfaces = this.getInputData(0, moi.geometryDatabase.createObjectList());
    
	var data = this.processInOut(this.properties.mode[0], this.multiProcess, null, this.properties.thickness);

	this.properties.thickness = data.inputs[1];
	this.setOutputData(0, data.outputs[0]);
}

Shell.prototype.multiProcess = function(s, t) 
{	
	return [factory('shell', s, t, this.properties.direction[0])];
}

LiteGraph.registerNodeType("Construct2/Shell", Shell);

@James: Please test the code first, correct the construct2.js file and post/replace it. The problem was, that you had a look in the sometimes outdated API-Documentation - it's always a good idea to look also in Michaels code under the command folder.

A nice day to all
Karsten

Documentation:
ArrayExt menu:
"idxSelect" (an on/off switch, or data selector).
This node has a data input and a data output of matching datatype. Said datatype is determined by RMB clicking on the node, and then clicking either "Numbers" for numarray datatype, or "Points" for pointarray datatype (default), or Objects for objectlist datatype. The node also has a controlling numarray input called idx (index). If the value of idx rounds up or down to 0.0 (i.e. -0.5 <= idx < 0.5), then the data input is connected to the data output. (The on-of switch is on.) If idx is 1 (actually if idx <= -0.5, or 0.5 <= idx, then the data input is NOT connected to the data output. (The switch is off).
By varying the value of idx, portions of the data stream wired to the input can be passed on (selected), or blocked.
A rudimentary circle .nod was used to figure out the function.

(I made a few minor changes to the nodeeditor Wiki, which is very out of date and incomplete.)
Current directory of extension nodes is difficult to locate...
Nodeeditor is over 3 years old.

I spent considerable time re-reading the parametric design thread, and nodeeditor thread, to try to learn more of how each node works,
and copied relevant portions to a text file, to distill out some documentation
