Thanks very much! I’ve been searching for so long how to make your model physical! Best tutorial ever!

[@DesignGoBrr]

Happy to hear it!

[@zahed1]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

[@DesignGoBrr]

Glad to help!

[@nsancak]

Amazing work again!! I am going to try right now..

[@DesignGoBrr]

Great! Try it out - hopefully it all works well.

[@giulioangeli5974]

thank you sensei

どういたしまして !

[@olanatridapalli]

Great work!! I have a question that isn't necessarily about what you taught in your video... In the initial displacement you showed in the video, is there a way I can determine the inclination angles of those elements at Grasshopper?

[@DesignGoBrr]

Yes, of course. You just need to calculate the angle between the Z axis (or the normal of the shell) and the perp vector of the tile surface. Check this tutorial out: ruclips.net/video/d24Q9harY9c/видео.html

Great tutorial. I've Noticed that each Brick is unique in this planarization method. Is there a way to rationalize this, so as to have modular bricks and planar as well?

[@DesignGoBrr]

Only if you're planning on building something with a constant curvature (like a cylinder, or a cylindrical vault/arc or a straight wall). The moment curvature becomes a variable, the shape of the bricks become a variable.

[@Tokomak_5]

Use an object counter to create a list, instead of the slider with the value of 500.

[@DesignGoBrr]

k, will do

Labas Gediminai,
Nice tutorial, great video!
Quick question: as I am quite new to the Grasshopper, I have a long way to go yet, but... is there a way to flatten polysurfaces in Rhino without coding or Grasshopper help? Just like native Rhino commands?
Let's say I have modeled a simple cupboard: two side, top, and bottom panels. I need to prepare a cut-list for the parts, so I need that the parts would be flattened to the top view (preferably). Any suggestion on how I can achieve it?
Thanks!

[@DesignGoBrr]

Sveiki, The command that you're looking for is Orient3pt - that's the closest you'll get to it without using grasshopper

[@arywicaksana]

Hi, don't know if you'll see this, unfortunately somehow the very last part with "orient" doesn't work on my end. Seems like the center points of the bottom surfaces are fine, all the closed breps that are gonna be laid out are fine, I've flatten the "Frame" on the surface evaluation as well. They're all seem fine on their own but didn't work when I oriented them. Thanks by the way!
Edit: just made the B plates and they work lol. Not sure what happened with the A plates.

[@DesignGoBrr]

Hi - there can be way too many potential things that might be going wrong so it's difficult to diagnose. You could bake out the elements into Rhino, and then reference them in groups to trey and orient. At least then you'd know if there is a problematic element somewhere that makes the whole orientation system break.

@@DesignGoBrr thanks!

[@user-di9my7dt9f]

Dear expert, I would like to know which plugin the txt icon below the text battery that you entered at 7 minutes and 57 seconds belongs to. Hope to hear from you.

[@DesignGoBrr]

Hmm either Ngon or Fox plugin (both on food4rhino.com)

[@user-di9my7dt9f]

@@DesignGoBrr It's Fox，thank you.
