RhinoNest, nesting for Rhino

Optimize Position and Orientation of Objects

List direction

Hi,

 

The list command contains a one-by-one mode that generate the opportunity to place the text on either side of an object (this is also possible in the Remap function). The question is, where does RhinoNest get the direction information from?

 

If I use the Rhino command _Dir and flip it, the RhinoNest direction does not change. How can I set a direction to an object in the beginning of the design process, so that it keeps this information during the naming, mapping and nesting process?

 

Last question is: in the Remap function the possibility to add text is not the same as the listing function (object text, block text is not possible in the Remap function), if I set a text direction on one side the remap direction is still the same as in the first place. Is there a possibility to combine those two functions?

 

Many thanks!!

Hi,

Obtain the plane from the planar curve. And the plane depends of the curve direction. Does it help?

 

How can I set a direction to an object in the beginning of the design process, so that it keeps this information during the naming, mapping and nesting process?

At this time, you can check it with Dir (I know is not a good solution). Maybe the best option is do it in Remap.

 

Last question is: in the Remap function the possibility to add text is not the same as the listing function (object text, block text is not possible in the Remap function), if I set a text direction on one side the remap direction is still the same as in the first place. Is there a possibility to combine those two functions?

I think the way is do the Remap and later the list command, becuase if you use blocks or name, the original object and the copy has the same name. Maybe we can it, but if you take a look to remap dialog, you will see is really full! :) I will add to the wishes list.

 

Thanks for you comments, any idea just let me know.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the answer!

 

What I do not understand is how the _Dir command shows 2 different directions and de Remap just one? See attachment.
