Worksessions with Google Drive, Dropbox - Problem

Good Afternoon,

Introduction
In my office we are starting using Workssesion in Rhino (first time). It’s a big architectural project and the team is divided into 2 physical places far away from each other. The internet is optical fiber, fast. There will be 3 people sharing the same 3d project, working in different parts of the project. We are trying to use OneDrive from Microsoft to share the files.

The problem
I don’t know why but we can open simultaneously the same file without the mensage:
“File is currently in use by the user “User2” on computer “FromPlace2”. File will be opened in ready-only mode.”

Lets’ give names: User1 in Place1 and User2 in Place 2. When User1 from Place1 opens a rhino file, Rhino generates in the User1 OneDrive folder the file “File.3dm.rhl”. After 2 seconds that file will be in User2 Place 2 computer, the file it’s 39 bytes and very fast to send. Although the file “File.3dm.rhl” it’s in the User2 computers, when User2 open the file “File.3dm” (that it’s in use by User1), Rhino simply opens the file as if it not in use.

I opened the “File.3dm.rhl” and it’s inside the text:
“User1
ComputerFromPlace1
Tuesday, May 28, 2019”

Does Rhino ignore that file because it’s from a different user? We are using Rhino5 but i tried in Rhino6 and it happens the same.

Thank you in advance.

Delete command not repeated?

I need to use the Delete command very often (assigned to a short-cut button) and seems that any time I want to repeat the previously used Delete command, Rhino don’t memorize this command but instead it is using the previously used command.

It is possible to fix this behaviour somehow?

Vray asset editor not showing in rhino 6

Mesh with Material (picture) to Unity

@RIL wrote:

OK, I admit it. After trying several times to export a Mesh (having a picture as material) from Rhino (.obj) to Unity, I don’t seem to be able to get the picture show up on the mesh in Unity.

The problem could be in either end, a Rhino export setting, or that I do something wrong in Unity. I’m using Unity 2018.3.

Can someone with experience show me the simplest possible example of:

  1. an example Rhino mesh with a picture mapped to the surface.
  2. exported (via .obj) with the correct options
  3. import the mesh into Unity (I’ve tried “Import New Asset” which brings it in, but no texture).
  4. how to import the texture.
  5. How to apply it to the mesh.
  6. (I have an Asset (Mesh to Terrain) which converts the mesh to Terrain once the mesh is OK).

Or, links to instructions that actually explains the steps so I can make it work. I must be missing something obvious.

How to make a clamp - modelling tips

Hello everyone,
I’m trying to model something like this

  1. I started creating a circle, the inner edge

  2. Offset it, the outer edge

  3. Now, I need to make the pivot; that’s where I stopped
    The segment and the bigger circle intersect with each curve but when I try to split the inner and the outer circle it says split failed objects may not be within tolerance of one another

How can I do that? Thanks in advance,
Vins

Hello, I am trying to view my model on the rendered view and was trying different materials. What happened is that when I use the default glass material, it does not show up and when I use metal, it shows up as a dark shadow. Does any one have the same problem or know how to fix it? I would really appreciate the help thank you. I’m using Rhino 6 by the way

Command to Change "fit text" property of a small dimension

$

@Mason wrote:

Is there a command to run or script that will automatically flip the “fit text” of a dimension from auto to either left or right so it doesnt interfere with adjacent dimensions. Due to the way Rhino6 now displays dimensions, all of our annotation styles have had to be rewritten and now it either overlaps adjacent dimensions or when it pulls the dim from a command, it drops arbitrarily to either side. I have to then select each dim and scroll down in the properties panel and change the text fit on each dim.

If there is a command associated with this property, it could be written into a macro to change the property on multiple selections.

RH6 uninstall doesn't work

I moved my Rhino 6 license to anther computer. Now Rhino is asking me to uninstall the program from the old computer. Loocking for uninstall I found rhino being installed three times. For the eldest version uninstall worked after I disabled all kinds of firewalls and virus scanners.
But there are still two installations remaining which I cannot uninstall. They are named 6.12.19029.6381 and 6.13.19058.6381
They seem to start to uninstall but then nothing happens.
Any idea how to solve this?
And by the way why was it installed three times?

Hello

I am quite new in rhino and grasshopper but cannot get around the following :

I am trying to export a 3D voronoi build in rhino/grasshopper so that I can mesh it after in Salome.

Each voronoi cell is well closed (closed polysurface) and I can export a in a step format the all set of closed cells but once imported in salome and mesh i can not get a separation of the elements in groups for each voronoi cell. I need that for giving specific material properties for each voro cells at the end… !

For now it is a simple test then I will need complex shapes and the use of rhino will be good for that.

any help will be most gratefull

Hi Guys, just writing to rant on my recent experience of finally using a rhino for work for the first time after two months of self educating. I must say it was very nightmarish. Running tutorials in your own pace is one thing, applying in real is another. The amount of precision that rhino ask for is insane, plus the amount of info we have to manage is no joke, I will say if you are super messy you might just run back to sketch up. Then you get into problems like why you can’t make a simple modification, why you can’t project lines, why it isn’t splitting or trimmed and why changing views to control objects etc. Then, it took me one hour just to pdf 3 layouts because the program kept crashing for some strange reason. The file is only 21mb. Having said these, I like the potential of rhino and grasshopper and hope this experience was just a learning curves and temp setback. Almost no one is using Rhino in Sydney because it doesn’t have that kind of workflow like archicad or revit, not even a physical class. After all this precise drawing, rhino folder just got dumped in the concept folder because it doesn’t document. There must be some smart modeling method for rhino somewhere.

Toolbar button magic tooltip

I have this sample toolbar:
BlaBla.rui (19.9 KB)

The second button shows a right-button-tooltip that was NOT entered:

When I edit the button and remove the tooltip, then it is ok at a first view.
Until I quit Rhino and restarted it.
Then the tooltip text magically reappears.

What the tooltip says is different.
Sometimes a text like what is seen in the picture.
Sometimes Macro02.

I have seen this in Rhino 6.
And consider it as a bug.

I thought, hmm, let’s use V5 to make the toolbar.
But the same error is in V5.

What can I do to finally get rid of the phantom tooltip?
I need an error-free toolbar for distribution.

Thanks!

Gaussian Curvature Evaluation. Struggling!

Hello everyone,

I am trying to draw a Gaussian curvature map using the 3D-scanned peanut-shaped image. However, I can’t generate a correct curvature image for some reason.

I presume that curvature is calculated based on each small isocurve/surface (total #=2710) or something like that, instead of a global geometry.

Would you be able to help me solve this issue?

Thank you!

Selections highlighting extra objects

I thought this was just me, but my coworker had the same problem.
It may be related to imported step files from engineering software like Creo or SolidWorks.

First thing’s first, after import, we explode block. There’s really no point to block instances in Rhino, from other software. Rhino doesn’t layer things well from block instances, still, and there doesn’t seem to be a good way to manage “parts” in Rhino anyway. So we explode them.
Yay, now it’s basically a regular old Rhino model, Probably with some messed up trims, because again…Rhino doesn’t handle full-assembly step files very well. My guess is because they are using different materials, so the tolerances are wildly different. Injection molded plastic over here, sand cast part over here, bent sheet metal over there…And rhino explodes.

So you’ve got your part, now you go selecting a part. Aaaand 16 other pieces highlight. What!? Ungroup, no. nothing grouped. Explode, Join. Great. Now the selection is fine.
Select another piece…and 15 pieces are also selected. What the heck!?

So this is our new nightmare. I Really hope this gets fixed ASAP.
Is it a “feature?” Please please tell me how to turn it off.

What Rhino file type includes a geometric parameters and constraints?

Hi all,

I am trying to import a surface model which is originally generated from Rhino without loss of parameters or constraints. Parameters mean, for example, length or thickness… and constraints mean surface or rectangle…

So when I export the surface model from Rhino, what kind of file type (.stp, .sat, 3mf…) includes all parameters AND constraints? I know IGES file does not have anything so forget iges file.

Regards
Jeong
