Hi all,

Just released a new version of PanelingTools for Rhino 5.0 (64 & 32). Make sure to get hold of the latest Rhino 5.0 Beta.

New in this release:

- Fixed a bug in ptPanel3DCustom.  It was broken a returned no result.

- Removed ptGridSurfaceDomain and ptGridSurfaceDomainExact commands from PanelingTools as they seem to be very confusing. Instead broke the functionality into three new commands:

  1- ptGridSurfaceDomainNumber: Divide surface domain by number.

  2- ptGridSurfaceDomainLength: Divide surface domain by length on surface with option to select a reference point.

  3- ptGridSurfaceDomainChord: Divide surface domain by direct distance with ref pt option as well.
- Other minor bugs and memory leak fixes.
Enjoy!

Rajaa,

I updated to the new release and found the grid from u and v curve intersections component in GH was not working.  The command in rhino did work.  I had recently installed the latest Rhino update so I thought I should restart.
The issue was still there so I tried to reinstall paneling tools but after removing all instances of paneling tools, (that I could find), I am unable to re-install.
When I run the installer, ( PanelingTools_April1_2012.rhi), it tells me that the package is already installed.  Do you have any suggestions?

Rhino : Version 5.0  (5.1.2012.329, 3/29/2012)
GH :  0.8.0066

Win7 64 bit

Hi Chris,

Did you get hold of the latest PT-GH (PanelingTools for Grasshopper)?

The next thing I would do, is delete PanelingTools and reinstall.  You can get the location of where PT was installed as follows:

- Open Rhino, run PluginManager, find PanelingTools in the list, highlight and select Properties.  The link to were the file is will be listed.  On my machine it is here:

"C:\Users\Rajaa\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\Plug-ins\PanelingTools {6CAED836-BC06-4EBC-B1FD-E10886A0DC94}"

Let me know how that goes.

Rajaa,

I must not have had the latest PT-GH, which is why the component was not working.

The reason the reinstall wasn't working is because I was only unloading paneling tools, not deleting the install. Your suggestion was exactly the right one!  Once I deleted paneling tools,(at the path you described), the re-install ran perfect.  I then added the latest PT-GH gha to the components folder:

"C:\Users\chanley\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries"

restarted rhino and all is well.  The PTUVCrvs component works just as expected!

Thank you for your support!

-Chris
