RhinoScript.org – bringing open source to architecture & design

RhinoScript Application by Hanno

A very basic nesting tool.
Until now it cannot even rotate objects, but it produces fairly useful results and is very easy to use.

Version 1.1 (May 20, 2008)

Changes since previous version:

You can now specify the granularity (i.e. accuracy of footprints). In the previous version this was always 1 point per rhino unit, becoming really huge for larger objects.

  Hi & thanks for the comment. However, I am afraid there is no newer version of this tool as I moved on to other things since then...

  pretty awesome thanks!! you mentioned rotation: is that still in the works?

  What do you mean by "It doesn't go even when you define it"? array_pop is a function that is defined in the array library (www.rhinoscript.org/scripts/37) which you have to run prior to execution of this tool.

  anyone located what the mistake is with array_pop? it doesnt go even when you define it..

• 3. Hanno (Jan 04, 2010 08.45):

  Just have a look at the requirements: You need the array library which you can download from this site, too.

  I am getting an error on Line 82 Char 2. The array_pop is undefined.
