"You are absolutely right. I'd seen that moving them did something but having tried endless manipulations I managed not to try that one.
Thanks for that - gets me out of a deep hole, albeit temporarily.

Polysurface intersection - script to do this?

Hi,I'm a relatively recent Rhino convert, working mostly doing drawings for cnc cutting of sheet ply, and find myself often needing to intersect two sheets as best described in the attached jpg.…Continue

Measure along a curve

Hi,How can I measure along a complex curve? If, for example, I have a point on a curve and I want to move that point along the curve by a defined distance, how can I do so?Thanks,NickContinue

Hi,I work a lot with coated plywoods, that is plywoods with both sides covered with a coloured, phenolic resin. Where the plywood is cut, the edge of the layered wood within shows and I would like…Continue

Nick Davies replied to JT's discussion Having Display Problems with Blocks - Rhino 5 SR1
"Hi,
Your blocks are embedded, I suspect. Mine are linked blocks, being a bunch of parts which I use within different models. When I add the curve in the parts file the linked block remains ghosted in the dependent model but also as wireframe in…"

"Hi,
Any update on this? I'm having the same problem.
Any suggestions as to how to retrieve visibility without re-drawing? We need pen mode for producing assembly guides.
Thanks,
Nick"

"I don't know what to say... you are producing these quicker than I can test them!
Seriously, I really appreciate this because this type of work is about 80% of what I do when I'm sitting in front of Rhino, see below to get an idea.

Pascal Golay replied to Nick Davies's discussion Polysurface intersection - script to do this?
"Hi Nick- OK, I monkeyed a little more with this- the attached should be more robust- see how it works for you... now it should handle panels at odd angles and different thicknesses, and chamfered or filleted edges, though I am not really super…"
Pascal Golay replied to Nick Davies's discussion Polysurface intersection - script to do this?
"Hi Nick- I guess I left one of the intersection curves in place- that is meant to be deleted but I must have commented the line out for testing. In the meantime, this one only works for nicely arranged pairs of panels- I am pretty close to having…"
Nick Davies replied to Nick Davies's discussion Polysurface intersection - script to do this?
"Hi Pascal,
Did you just knock that up? That was quick! Either way, you've just saved me time on about 75% of operations I have of that type, so thanks.
I should tell you that the script creates a new curve on the first polysurface,…"
Pascal Golay replied to Nick Davies's discussion Polysurface intersection - script to do this?
"Hi Nick- see if the attached script helps... it's a bit quick and dirty and not heavily tested but it might help for simple cases of pairs of closed panels that meet each other squarely (not rotated relative to one another except at 90 degrees,…"

Polysurface intersection - script to do this?
Hi,I'm a relatively recent Rhino convert, working mostly doing drawings for cnc cutting of sheet ply, and find myself often needing to intersect two sheets as best described in the attached jpg.The overlap between the two parts is usually, (but not always), equal and I wonder if there isn't a script somewhere that already…See More
Nick Davies replied to Nick Davies's discussion Measure along a curve
"Hi,
Moving a point along a curve will allow me to complete the operations I want, so thanks very much for that, but it was just one example of a type of operation which I find myself needing fairly regularly. For example, recently I needed to…"
Chris Tietjen replied to Nick Davies's discussion Measure along a curve
"Here's a script that will do what you want. Drop it on an open Rhino window and follow the prompts. If you like it you can put it on a button or make an alias for it. I use the term 'sub-curve' in the command line…"
Helvetosaur replied to Nick Davies's discussion Measure along a curve
"There isn't a "canned" function in Rhino for this. One workaround is as follows:
1) Call the command SubCrv, set copy to Yes.
2) Pick the curve on which the point lies, then the "from" point
3) Enter the length to move…"

Nick Davies replied to Nick Davies's discussion Render surfaces differently within a polysurface
"Hi,
I'm having difficulty understanding your suggestion. Can't I explode the polysurface and re-join the surfaces with the same material then group the whole and create the same effect without creating a mesh? What does the…"
Pascal Golay replied to Nick Davies's discussion Render surfaces differently within a polysurface
"Hi Nick- no, not in Rhino. If thew problem with having multiple objects is in how the render mesh resolves itself at the edges, you can try render the meshes directly and hide the surfaces/solids:
Join your object
Mesh it using the Mesh command, and…"
