This should work fine with all the files you’ve posted so far. I changed the gh file to use the world XY-plane for orientation. Using the last file you posted, the text tag directions were inconsistent again. (both of these commands are only available in Rhino V7 or above) Then running the _IntersectSelf command while they are selected will place points in the Rhino document where the self-intersections occur. If you run the command _SelSelfIntersectingCrv from Rhino it will select them. This doesn’t seem to affect the nesting, but it may cause problems with your laser cutting. There are also 2 self-intersecting curves in your file. OpenNest will not work with open curves so I’ve culled them. The last file you posted has 14 very short open curves (0.000077 To 0.001523 If you’re working with surfaces they can easily be converted to curves in grasshopper for later processing. OpenNest will work with either closed polylines or surfaces. A couple of things I don’t know is what spacing is needed for the parts and what level of precision is required. The workflow you describe is pretty much the understanding I had. I apologise for this taking up so much of your time, but what you are doing is completely changing how I can use rhino for fabrication, and I’m hoping there are many users out there who will find this invaluable as a tool/solution.
#OPEN ZBRUSH FILE IN RHINO FOR MAC HOW TO#
If you could advise how to change sheet size, and possibly font size, that would be excellent. I have attached a file that shows a typical application. I tried altering the container for the Sheet size but don’t think I got it right…the shapes would not nest correctly. I then need to lay them out on cutting sheets that are 2500 x 1250mm. (So actually I don’t need them to be Surfaces - just outline closed shapes - this is the change I need - which is what the laser cutting facility needs) I then Contour slice the mesh in Rhino so that I end up with lots of polyline closed shapes. I think I have made an error in describing my workflow though - thinking about it…hopefully this is a simple solution/amendment.Ĭreate organic mesh outside of Rhino (Zbrush) Mostly figurative sculptures.Įxport as Obj/stl mesh, import into Rhino. Hi Kevin - that is fantastic…really appreciated.
