Hi, for the second and third examples, and to avoid the Pipe extending beyond the boundary, in the second example, we can use the Deconstruct Brep just like the first example. For the third example, we can use the Explode component and connect the Segments output to the Pipe.
You don't need to hold Shift to drag and copy a component. You just need Alt. Shift just locks the drag direction like when dragging an object in Rhino.
i got a trimmed surface that i want to panel vertically & horizontally but the UV is always offset from the not rectangular surface how can i fix this ?
Well, it really depends on the type of surface it is. There are multiple ways to do it. You could use the outer edge of all those panels and project it on the surface and then trim out the rest. In some cases, you even get the outer parts as a separate list in lunchbox... Send me a particular file if you have and I'll take a look :)
@@HowtoRhino BIG THANKS man :D I was looking for the answer to this issue for 4 days,I'm still newbie and discovering grasshopper and wanted to try the LB on an hexagon and couldn't do as it came out always as a rectangular panel ,now your solution worked just fine ! thanks for your tutorials,please keep up,you're really helping out students like me
Hi Isaac! You're welcome. Glad you liked the video. Yes, if you wish to see more of Lunchbox options, I'll put your request on the list of future tutorials :)
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the tutorial! If you'd like to dive deeper with Rhino and Grasshopper in a structured, step-by-step way, we have extensive material for it on our platform. Feel free to send us an email at dusan@howtorhino.com if you'd like to know more!
Hi, Thanks for sharing this video. When I create surfaces in Rhino, and apply the lunchbox paneling to them, the paneling continues on beyond the boundaries of my surface. What am I missing? If I create a very simple a planar surface, I can get the results that you show. But if I have compound curves as the face of the surface, or really any curvilinear edged surface, it extends paneling beyond edges. I have seen tutorials of people applying the lunchbox components to very complex surfaces, so I'm thinking there's something simple I'm missing.
Hi Adam, If you have complex surfaces, paneling tools or any other tools from Grasshopper will recognize that surface as "untrimmed" surface and it that's why you're seing these "extensions". This really depends on the mathematics behind NURBS surfaces. One tool that works better for these kind of "complex surfaces" is called Paneling tools. You might want to check that out. We will have a tutorial on that soon.
Hi Lance, good question! The reason why I am doing this is that once you create the new geometry in t-splines you get these so-called "creases" near the endpoints of a rectangle, like some kind of additional bezier vertex handles. So if I want to remove those I do this process always. Removing these "creases" make the geometry much cleaner and easier for editing. Hope that makes sense! :)
Hey! Just copy the contents of the zip folder from Lunchbox to Components folder. You can find it here: drive.google.com/file/d/1TpBKn323VweC-bhm9lvqdi_BN4iuQaoY/view?usp=sharing
Thank you for this tutorial, it's easy to follow even for a beginner (downloaded Rhino&Grasshopper yesterday). I need to model a surface consisting of hexagonal truncated pyramids like this object here: i.pinimg.com/564x/e6/e9/41/e6e9412f929435c47cf3d7b3fb33fdfe.jpg I imagine that I need to start with creating a surface with hexagons as the one on the right and then build on it to create pyramids? Would you know of a simple way to achieve this? Thanks a lot in advance. Anastasia.
Hey Anastasia, you're welcome! So you can try playing around with Morph command in Grasshopper. I think it would be an easier method. I might do a tutorial on it in the future :)
Hi Diana, This is the link where you can download Lunchbox. www.food4rhino.com/app/lunchbox However, I am not aware if it's available for Mac version as well.
Hi Diana, don't know if you have tried installing it yet. I have and it seems to work fine. I downloaded the files and placed them in folder ~/Library/Application Support/McNeel/Rhinoceros/MacPlugIns/Grasshopper/Libraries

If i'm getting the best marks in the studio project this year, it's because of the effort you did this summer on these videos man!
REAAAL MVP!
WOW! Great to hear that! Glad this helped you out!
Keep it up, this is just the beginning :D

This is gold, dude. I love it how you're patiently demonstrating and explaining the steps you're going through. This is very helpful. Bless!
Glad you like it Marius! :)

really helpful man....keep posting these awesome grasshopper videos......
Thanks for the support! Glad you find them helpful! Will do for sure :)
Hi guys loved the tutorial, How would you put in custom rectangular sections instead of just simple pipe for the frames?
Thanks !
excellent! more please
Thanks Matthew! There will be more, just make sure you have the bell sign turned on, so you don't miss out on future tutorials :)

Great tutorial! i love this channel!
Hi Youssef,
Thank you a lot, I am glad you like it and if you can learn something from it :D
Thanks! How would you trim the panelling boundary in case you apply it to a non rectangular surface?

Is there is any way to panels the mesh instead of referencing the surface?
Can you put straight box section beams in instead of pipes? Thanks.
Hi Hitesh, yes you could, but you'd have to create a separate grasshopper definition for that to work well.
Hi
Thank u for Ur efforts I appreciate them well,
Just I wanna have that plugin and t splines also where can I download them both please?
Very nice! Thank you! What about the other options? Can u make anither tuto with those please? With the truss systems. I would appreciate it a lot!

You are awesome!
The tutorial is basic and easy to learn.

I may be late, but how does the lunchbox plug-in file appear in the toolbars option? I’m struggling adding this feature.
i just closed and restarted the rhino file - launched grasshopper and it showed up
Yes, just install and reopen Rhino.
What is that pink tab called?
T-splines plugin, doesn't work anymore.
@@HowtoRhino Hi, i am new to rhino what can i use instead of t-splines? Or how can I get the shape in the video?

Why did you extend the edges and then delete the extensions?

Lunchbox for Mac??

zoom in the pipe and you will see that they don't connect
Nice catch :D
