I am new to Grasshopper. I did a very simple thing today and made a nice mesh. How can I use the mesh created?
While Grasshopper is open I can make no changes to the created mesh in Rhino3D. However, closing Grasshopper will make the object (mesh) disappear.
Am I missing a step? I need to continue manipulating the object created by Grasshopper.
Thank you.
It depends on what you mean by "use the mesh".
As suggested in a comment, you can right-click the component that produces the final mesh, then click Bake.

Open3d's easy draw_geometries utility makes it possible to copy & paste camera parameters to restore a certain view point after it has been changed. It seems like this functionality would also be available when using the SceneWidget and its Open3DScene high level scene. However I have not figured out a way to mimic this behavior.
Copying and pasting a viewpoint from draw_geometries onto notepad reveals this information:
boundingbox_max, boundingbox_min, field_of_view, front, lookat, up, zoom
In order for it to have the same effect using the SceneWidget I would have to somehow obtain this information from the scene's camera, create a copy, and then load it later when it is needed. Nevertheless, I cannot access the above properties explicitly through the camera object, nor have I found a way to set them (assuming I already have them).
The next "obvious" solution would be the camera class's copy_from method, which sounds great, except I am unable to instantiate the Camera class in order to use it.
How can I achieve this save & restore viewpoint effect?
Thanks in advance
I have an Unreal Engine 4 project. I have two sets of the same map, one unmerged and the other merged. THe merged map has the textures baked in. When I try to add a collision mesh in the baked level model everything works fine. When I try to add a collision mesh to the level broken down into several meshes, there isn't any option to add collision - in fact, half of the menu options aren't even there. I tried posting on the unreal forums without luck. I was hoping someone here might be able to help. Thanks - Ted
When you select an object in UE4 it shows properties of that object. When you select several objects, it shows only the properties that the selected objects have in common. So my guess is that you trying to set up a collision for several objects of different type. Try setting it one by one.
I imported a big 3DS file to my Unity scene and I would like to make it transparent.
My object is as big that has been imported as a mesh with 5 different "sub meshes" inside and some of them have materials (already imported).
Can someone shed some light on how can I do it? I'm thinking that maybe I need to do a loop to go through all the sub meshes and check the material there... but honestly... if that is a solution... I do not know how to do it...I'm using C# but this are my first steps on Unity and C#.
The user Mark is right. I need to start with baby steps before understanding the complexity of it. Sometimes I'm running too fast!
Thanks a lot.
I am trying to archive my SceneKit scene for saving using NSKeyedArchiver. This is so I can save the scene allowing me to restore it at a later date. I am finding that the restored scene seems to ignore/lose the SCNTransformConstraints I have added to various SCNNodes. This results is the nodes being placed in the wrong place.
I am wondering if this is by design or a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
SCNTransformConstraints works with a block provided by the client of the API. Blocks can't be archived with NSKeyedArchiver.
You need to archive another object instead that is be able to reconstruct the block and re-assign the transform constraint.
I have a requirement where in I have to move four objects on an elliptical path.
Am using Expression Blend and was able to create a motion path quite very easily and place objects over it. It was also cool creating storyboards and keyframes.
The problem came when i wanted all the objects to move at once, their starting points being different. I mean I want the sarting point of each object to be different.
I have searched for answers but could find people ending up in creating their own custom paths through code behind.
Is there a way that we could achieve this through Expression Blend?
Thanks in advance,
Sri
What are you trying to do, exactly? If you are creating a Storyboard, why not just give each object a different starting location? If you are trying to create a Carousel or something like that, check out PathListBox. If neither of these are helpful, post some more specifics.
