Ahaaa :-)

That makes it clear now - and it works!
I like the idea of the nodebundle project very much - playing around with them is fun (even without docs...)

Thanks a lot Karsten

Hello Ralf,

most of the nodes and the functionality of the extension are build by a user request or a missing functionality of the core. Max can't write everything by itself with respect to his time and work on the core. The different aspects of use for such an application is a wide field. So it's not only a tool for generative geometry creation, its also a generative process to get the tool. The documentation was not in the focus. I tried to start a wiki, but I was the only one who wrote something. Nevertheless there is also an outdated Excel sheet where you can look for some functionality:

Maybe the menu position had changed, but node names and functionality should still work.

Have a nice day

Hi,
I am playing with James surf to Pnt.nod and I am getting the result shown in photo.
The panelling is covering all the surface except for last line.
Is it possible to cover this ?
Cheers
Barry

Hi Barry
maybe it depends on the surface
one should know if it is a single or Trimmed Surface ,
I think in the second case there may be problems
you should do some tests ..
Anyway my and only an impression, but I could check it out
that the Isocurve command, on which the James macro is based, sometimes gives the
problems, dependent on the Extraction Surface

UPDATED: "retop.nod" & image

Hi Barry,

Please find attached nod file with new macro for U&V isocurves
and points at their intersection.

Image below shows surface faceted & point mesh to extents.





Also Karsten mentioned that he had developed a "network" node that
combined with "retop" macro U&V outputs will retopologized input surface.
I will incorporate "network" node within the macro, once it is delivered.

Hi James,
thanks it works great now.
Is it possible to flow selected tiles to this topology as Rhino's panelling tool ?
Cheers
Barry

Hi Barry,

<<Is it possible to flow selected tiles to this topology as Rhino's panelling tool ?>>

Yes, now it is. I have updated my earlier post with new "retop. nod" with ordered points.

http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.683

It should work now.

Hi James,

Hi James,
not sure if the attached photo showing highlighted facet helps.
So the facet seems to loft from outer boundary to inner on opposite side and vice versa for other side.
Thanks.

Hi Barry,

Can you please upload .nod file so I can understand what you are trying to do.

James

Hi James,
I haven't changed anything from your posted nod file just selected surface and run.
Your photo looks correct but mine as the result shows the outer facets are extending to the
opposite side.I have attached the surface and the nod file.
Cheers
Barry

Oop! I had uploaded a WIP file instead of the final version.
New version can be now found here:

Hi James,
perfect works great thanks.
Will it be possible to select a object and tile it to the surface in one of your future nod
as you have shown in photo of your earlier post ?
Again many thanks
Barry

UPDATED: macro now includes faceted & smoothed surface options

Hi Barry,

<<Will it be possible to select a object and tile it to the surface

Good idea...please find attached.

Hi James,
superb and with the option of smooth or faceted excellent.
Looks even better with thickened tiles perhaps an extrude or shell function could be added.
So again many thanks.

Hi James
I need help......
your Macro Retopo does not work with your Isocuve tools
has the following ID-Construct2 / isocurve
my Isocuve has the following ID_test / isocurve
You may kindly send me your update
to insert it into the program-
Surely I missed some will last update of
Karsten
By the way fine work,compliments
Thanks in advance and
have a nice day

Hi All,

The pace the forum and this project moves at is amazing - this node is fantastic! Another old Rhino Plugin which would work much better under the finesse of a NODE master is the Array 3d Over Curve plugin. Here is a result. With plugin you can control an object with a control point to array over a curve path. With incremental Scale/Rotation/Spacing can be incremental or constant.

Here is result



Admirer of Fines Nodes but Luddite in Practice.

Hi Alberto,
I had similar issues where nodes have been relocated but if you just replace the
ISO nodes with iso nodes from test it should work.
