1. Rhinoceros 3D 5.0
2. Grasshopper 3D 0.90075

v2014.05.05

New

• New Excel Write component
• New Excel Read component
• Deconstruct Wireframe

Updates/Fixes

• Flatness check component would report the wrong flatness deviations. This is fixed

v0.3.5

New

• Added Helicoid and Conoid components
• Added Constant Quads and Frame components
• Added Space Truss (2-surface) component
• Added 2D Truss component

Updates/Fixes

• A Hexagonal cell on a corner would disappear. Fixed

v0.3.2

New

• Added the Hexagon Cell component
• Added the Relative Coordinates component
• Added the Patch Surface component

v0.3.0.1

Updates/Fixes

• Rhino Bake now supports points.
• Rhino Save now supports points.
• Rhino Command component was somehow replaced with the 'Save' component. This has been fixed.

v0.3.0.0

New

• Added a new Platonic Solid components under Math
  • Cube (with truncation parameter)
  • Tetrahedron (with truncation parameter)
  • Octahedron (with truncation parameter)
  • Icosahedron (with truncation parameter)
  • Dodecahedron
• Added Rebuild Surface Component
• Added Skewed Quad paneling component

Updates/Fixes

• Added divided sections to some panels

v0.2.6.5

Updates/Fixes

• Added adjustment parameter to Hexagonal structure grid… allows for some cool variations.
• There was duplicate line and node geometry on the Hexagonal structure component, this is FIXED.
• There was duplicate line and node geometry on the Diagrid structure component, this is FIXED.

v0.2.6.4

Updates/Fixes

• Triangle B paneling was outputing null surfaces and unwanted surfaces. Fixed! (Thanks for the alert, Sebastian!)

v0.2.6.3

New

Generate

• Attractor (Normal)

Panels

• Diamond Grid

Workflow

• Rhino Command

Updates/Fixes

• Updated Subdivide Quad to toggle between wireframe (fast) and surface (slow)
• Updated Subdivide Triangle to toggle between wireframe (fast) and surface (slow)
• Attractor components now output scaled vectors and average distances.
• Attractor from 2.6 is now called 'Attractor Wave'
• Diamond Panel component now outputs two separate lists for full diamond panels and triangular edge conditions.
• Fixed randomization in Random Quad component. (results were not truly random)
• Fixed randomization in Random Split component. (results were not truly random)

v0.2.6.0

New

Generate

• Subdivide Quad
• Attractor (Strange Ripple)

Structure

• Hexagonal Grid

Updates/Fixes

• Save component now lets you save lists of objects to a single file
• Subdivide Triangle now located under "Generate"

Known Issues

• Trimmed surfaces will bake and save in their untrimmed state. If you have trimmed surfaces, you should convert them to BReps before passing them to 'Bake' or 'Save' components.
