You can't unroll a wireframe. You can only unroll surfaces. You could use Flow to map the sections from a circle to a straight line, but I think UnrollSrf is a lot easier.

If the sections...

How do you know the geometry is wireframe? Did you make it yourself or is it imported? (just because the displaymode is in wireframe does not mean the geometry is curve (wireframe) geometry... Try...

Well, RhinoCAM 1.0 is now 2 versions old, but:


RhinoCAM 1.0 would either work in inches or MM, but not both, if you changed unit systems it would exit. But that doesn't explain the necerssity...

Then just do it - and stop presenting the 90% of users who want to move on with rehashed DOS interfaces and excuses. But I don't believe you can. You haven't changed the interface code since the...

It's been easy for a long time. You do have to create a new MCS and a new MOp set. That's not very hard. It is unnecessary to create a new file or turn the part.

I hope not... It would mean that they haven't changed the interface at all, except maybe the icon colors :( But it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

You probably want to try this in the Rhino v5 Beta. You can only use the MeshBoolean... operations on meshes. If they fail, you can also try MeshIntersect and then try to split the mesh with the...

I would post this in the official Mecsoft forum. --ch

Not automatically. There are lots of tools in Rhino to help you do this more or less manually, but no one-button solutions. Note that although Rhino does handle solid volumes, it does not require...

Yes. --ch

Rendering from the Top view should be a true plan view, there is no perspective, it is a parallel view viewport.

You can also make the "Perspective" view into a 3D parallel view (i.e.turn off the...

Yeah, always nice when the CAM software manufacturers think that theirs is the only app you're running on your computer and you have to set your computer's display characteristics back to 1995 for...

Rhino is CAD software not CAM software... --ch

Works fine here. I'm a fan of "If it ain't broke don't fix it..." so the OS probably won't get changed until I replace my workstation - far too much work re-installing and configuring everything,...

OK, thanks for responding, I haven't been able to find that setting anywhere so far.

In addition to the Verify issues, I an also having a problem with Backplot - it doesn't auto-animate either, I...

Ah, Mr. Ground Support himself! Cool, glad you got it sorted. --ch

Yeah you're correct, this does not seem to work with Comments - it does seem to work everywhere else... Maybe you need to contact your dealer... --ch

Hi,

Put an exclamation mark enclosed in single quotes '!' at the line where you want to suppress the line number.

OK, now having gotten back into it some more, after not having used Surfcam since V3, I am having a few problems getting a couple of things to work as they should. Some things have definitely...

Definitely like this one:


And yes, updated interface... Well, almost anything will be an improvement at this point.. :D

--ch

OK, thanks, that answers my question... yeah, I was expecting it to show me the surface flow lines and edges... I was hoping it would work like Rhino... OK, I was dreaming... :D

In the deep,...

I am not going to fill out the forms necessary to download parts from 8020, but I suspect that the IGES files only contain curve (drawing) data, not surface data... When you import the IGES into a...

Yes, those are the ones, they're there, Wireframe and Shaded both work, the Shade+Wireframe one here also shows shaded, but I get no wireframe... :(

Hi all,

Back in here after long, long time... Haven't used Surfcam in about 5 years now, left off with V3 when I changed jobs and didn't have a mill anymore. Now I do again, and since I'm now in...

I have an Epilog that I drive directly out of Rhino (V5). As we're a school, we are not in production work and seldom need to do nesting - although I have used RhinoNest and it works pretty well.

As you said you know a bit of Grasshopper, you can also do the following:

1) Use ExtractPt on your topo lines to create a series of points
2) Use SelDup/Delete to eliminate the duplicate points...

Attached is a model done with RhinoTerrain from your topo lines (they are kinda junky, the worst is when they have had gaps cut into them for text or areas where there are artificial vertical...

Make your text with TextObject (curves)

Draw a line under the text
Draw a circle whose circumference is about the same as the line...

Short answer - in Rhino V4, you can't.
In Rhino V5 they're working on some tools to be able to do this I think.
In Rhino 4 you will need to explode the solid into surfaces to apply textures to...
