Importing Custom Shapes from CAD #19

Closed ThreePointSquare closed 8 months ago

ThreePointSquare commented 2 years ago

Is there a way to import custom shapes from a CAD platform? I was wanting to utilize grasshopper in rhino to run some optimizations on forms for architecture. I can most definitely read and stream data from the program looking at the audry test example. I was hoping to run a loop over a form or set of forms to focus wind flow. Old research, ongoing pet project now.

The underlying data structure defining geometries is just an array of points - so anything that you can translate into that format will work.

That's great to hear. Actually that makes a ton of sense now. And preferably fits well with gridding in the pipeline. Im traveling now but will have more questions in the coming weeks!thanks for being responsive truly appreciate it.

It seems that we need to specify ma in definition of an arbitrary shape body class. Then how to set ma for a polygon?
