@dale would you mind explaining what is ‘the proper way’ of using conduits? I have doubt because i’m creating something similar to layers and i wonder if each object (layer) should have own conduit override or should i create one instance of conduit override for handling all objects (layers) in array/list?

Hello,
We have recently experienced an issue with some users getting new Service Releases and others are not. This is creating an incompatibility issue with newly built plugins that happen to be using the newer Rhino 6 and SDK that does not appear to be available to other users.User/Dev 1 is showing “6.4.18124.12321, 5/4/2018” and is showing “Up to date”
User/Dev 2 is showing “6.4.18130.19341, 5/10/2018” and is showing “Up to date”The issue is that if User 2 develops a plugin for User 1, User 1 receives a message that they need a newer Rhino SDK.
We could change our dev process to use past NuGet package builds, but I find it odd that some users are not automatically getting SR updates pushed to their machine while others are and both are showing “Up to date”. Is there a reason for this?

Hi @stevebaer,
i cannot get the fill color to work in RH6, it is just shown transparent (no color) when used in a dynamic display conduit during a
GetPointoperation:args.Display.Draw2dRectangle(rec, Color.Gray, 1, Color.White)In RH5 above shows a rectangle with white fill and gray outline.

Hi,
If I have several Transformation Matrices:
1)Orientation
2)Rotation
3)And 3 translationsIs there a possibility to merge all those matrices into one?
In grasshopper I used compound component to merge several matrices.
But using rhinocommon I tried to multiply matrices and it does not produce same result, for instance in this example I did not include translation, but still not producing what gh does with compound:
Transform mergedMatrix = Transform.Multiply(Orientation, Rotation);
What is correct way of joining matrices?

While upgrading our WPF plug-ins to Rhino 6, we’re seeing a significant change in how the WpfElementHost is working that we thought would be worth documenting. In Rhino 5, the WpfElementHost class constructor seems to be called just once, which is the first time that the dockable panel is opened. In Rhino 6, we notice now that every time a document is changed, if the dockable panel is opened, the WpfElementHost constructor is is called. This occurs before any document-related event is fired (so before NewDocument, BeginOpenDocument, EndOpenDocument).
We also noticed that view models bound to the WpfElementHost don’t appear to be disposed at this point. So we have a RhinoEntry class that manages how our plug-ins interact with selection, object creation/deletion, and document related events. What we’ve found is that instances of this class bound to our view models remain alive and well even after new models are bound to the user control, and their event listening continues. So if our users change documents multiple times, as many of our RhinoEntry classes exist behind the scenes. We’ve adapted for this by relocating this class as a static class in our plug-in, but thought it was worth noting this change in behavior.

Has anything changed with how R6 installs RHIs? Until just recently, when double-clicking an RHI, the Rhino Installer Engine would install the plug-in for R5 and R6.
I’ve just upgraded to R6.4, and this behavious has changed. The RHI is now only installed for R5. I haven’t worked out yet how to actually install an RHI for R6.4
The plug-in in question is done in Python and Script Compiler.

Hi,
I have helper function that lofts two polylines into closed mesh.
Sometimes mesh face normals are inverted.
(red) colorIs there anyway to find which mesh is with inverted normals in order to flip it?
In one example I saw Dale was using similar thing in RhinoCommon to determine if brep face normals are flipped.
I am wondering if something similar exists for meshes

Hi,
As mentioned in the title - I need to offset point on the surface.The way I can do it now is the following:
- Offset input curve (Curve.OffsetOnSurface) with certain distance
- Get a point on the basic curve
- Find closest point on the offset curve.
But actually I don’t need an offset curve.
Any way to make it faster?Thanks in advance,
Dmitriy

rhino uses polynomial interpolation for its InterpCrv.
(http://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/5/help/en-us/commands/changedegree.htm#Degree)Since polynomial interpolation method makes N-1 degree polynomial function(ex. to interpolate 5 points, highest polynomial degree is 4), where degree cannot be an option to change,
how does interpcrv function has a ‘degree’ input with it?
if I am interpolating N points into a curve, isn’t degree become automatically N-1?
Does ‘degree’ input in interpcrv has different meaning than ‘degree’ as used in polynimial function?

@dale, @Helvetosaur
I have a large mesh with 4.4 million faces. It is a 3D model of a map created from 400 drone images. I have colored the mesh using a Python script but it takes time to generate the vertex colors before I can apply the colors using:
meshVertexColors(mesh, colors)The results look nice:
but can be painfully slow to iterate in order to bring focus on an area of interest:
If I moved generation of the colors array to C-code I think this could be much faster, perhaps less than a second. I have read about using ctypes for interfacing to C-code from Python. My question is, can I use the method you outlined in “Creating your first C/C++ plugin for Rhino” http://developer.rhino3d.com/guides/cpp/your-first-plugin-windows/ to compile my C-code and create a C-code dll library which I can then call from Python using a ctypes interface?
I am worried about starting along the path of using your guide since it is targeted towards creation of a stand-alone C-code plugin. But this seems like overkill if all I need is the dll which I can reference in Python using:
import ctypes # Load the shared library into c types. libc = ctypes.CDLL("./myclib.so")Any guidance you can provide would be much appreciated as I have not done any C-code work in the Rhino environment (or any other environment for that matter). But I have programmed in many other languages and written 100,000+ lines of code. So I am not too worried about the C-code it self but I am definitely concerned about getting the C-code complied and linked into a dll library which I can call from Python.
I also have many other map types that could benefit from using a fast C-code function so learning how to do this would be of significant benefit. My Drone Maps Python script is now 7300+ lines, works quite well and has a nice GUI:
But it is painfully slow for some operations.I have already exploited the parallel code I lifted from Grasshopper but this provides no more than 2-4X speed up. I need more like 10-100X speedup which hopefully C-code can provide.
Regards,
Terry.

Hi, I think there is a bug in rhinocommon’s DisplayConduit, more precisely in
Protected Overrides Sub PreDrawObject(e As DrawObjectEventArgs).When I use this:
Dim pt = New Rhino.Geometry.Point3d(location.X, location.Y - 10, location.Z) e.Display.Draw2dText("TextContent", Color.Black, pt, True, True, "Arial") e.Display.DrawPoint(pt)the “dot” is displayed with no text but still sized according to the text. When the associated object is selected the text appear, and disappear when unselected.
When I use this:
Dim MyTextDot As New Rhino.Geometry.TextDot("TextContent", New Rhino.Geometry.Point3d(location.X, location.Y + 10, location.Z)) MyTextDot.FontHeight = FontHeight e.Display.DrawDot(MyTextDot, DisplayColor, Color.Black, BorderColor)the text never shows.
I tried using the same code in other subs such as
Protected Overrides Sub PostDrawObjects(e As DrawEventArgs)and it works.

Good afternoon,
Just wondering if something changed recently with startup commands in the registry? I have a startup_commands registry string in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\McNeel\Rhinoceros\6.0\Scheme: MyScheme\Options\GeneralSettings
that does not seem to work anymore on the most recent update (6.5.18149.14421, 5/29/2018). Is there a new method of setting up a startup command for a scheme in Rhino 6? It was working just a few days ago.
Thanks,

Hi,
I’m running into an issue with brep.MergeCoplanarFaces
The attached black polysurface is slightly kinked, but apparently enough to allow for the 2 faces to be regarded coplanar.However after merging the faces the trimming edges are out of tolerance:
If I brep.Repair the merged brep I do get correct trimming edges, however there is a deviation of the initial surface of 0.459 which exceeds the file tolerance.
However , the Command _MergeFace will correctly state :
“Unable to move edges within face tolerance, nothing done”How do I go about making sure the merger was within tolerance?
Should I check edge deviations myself or am I missing some additional RhinoCommon functionality?
What coplanarity tolerance is used?Thanks
