Summary:Rhino Plug-in for PanelingNURBsSurfaces and Polysurfaces. This is work in progress (WIP).
Data matching is one of key concepts of most parametric tools. Since a Grasshopper object deal with multiple data from different input sources, we need to have a clear logic on how to match data. If you are familiar with the concept of Rhino Paneling Tools, you will see most of Morph components are pretty much about it. 1- Download the latest service release of Rhinoceros 5 and the latest Grasshopper. 2- Download the latest PanelingTools for Rhino 5.0 and Grasshopper. Make sure to double click on the installer to install. 3- Open Rhino, you should see PanelingTools menu in Rhino. Open Grasshopper, you should see the PanelingTools tab in Grasshopper.
The PanelingTools (PT) plug-in helps generate 2D and 3D cellular patterns and populate them over rectangular grids.
The plug-in supports intuitive design of paneling concepts as well as rationalize complex geometry into a format suitable for analysis and fabrication. The plug-in is closely integrated with Rhino 5 and is widely used for architectural and other building designers.
Download and double-clickPanelingTools installerto install. When opening a new session of Rhino, the installed version will be loaded (no need to drag&drop or use PluginManger to load). Toolbars are also installed, but for the first use you need to load using Tools/Toolbar Layout…
PanelingTools plug-in also extends Grasshopper.Click for details..
Single stroke font(optional). Add this font to your Windows font directory. For example, in Windows 7, drag the RhSS.ttf file into Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Fonts. The font will then be accessible from Rhino. This type of font is used mainly to tag parts for laser cutting.
PanelingTools plug-in is NOT part of the released Rhino 5 for Mac, but it is available as part of theRhino for Mac WIP... If you own a Rhino for Mac license, then you need to download and install the Rhino for Mac WIP to access PT. Please note that in the WIP, there is no Paneling Tools menu and all of the commands are available through the command line only. Type “pt” to see all the Paneling Tools commands in the AutoComplete list. Let us know what you think!

Overview:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
First step is to create a rectangular grid using one of the tools in 'Grid' tab. Some of these components take a list of points, which you can generate using GH standard components, or divide a curve using one of the tools under 'Curve' tab of PanelingTools.
Once a grid is created, you can shuffle it using one of the attraction methods under 'Grid Attractors' tab. One output is the shuffled grid, another output is the normalized weights based on the attraction method that can be used for variable offset or variable paneling for example.
'Grid Utility' tab helps you do things like extracting points from the grid, replace points, extract center grid, expand grids, create surface from grid, etc.
'Panel Utility' tab has components to pull panel edges to a surface using pull, iso curves or shortest path.
'Panel2D' tab has many ways to panel the rectangular grid and populate 2D components.
'Panel3D' contain components to populate 3D patterns between 2 bounding grids.
If you used PanelingTools plugin for Rhino, then the Parameters tab is for you. You can use PanelingTools for Rhino to create your grid, then input into GH as a tree structure using 'Select' component. The 'Bake' components is to bake a grid in a format that can be used by PanelingTools plugin for Rhino. If you only work with GH, then you can safely ignore this tab.
Note: All input/output of PanelingTools Add-on to GH use standard geometry and you can use standard GH components to manipulate them. Grids for example are nothing but simple tree structures (no nesting). You can think of it as a list of rows or paths that contain certain number of leafs or elements.
It is important to try to avoid FLATTENING a grid. If you have to flatten a grid, there is a utility to recompose it if you knew the number of rows, but seriously, stay away from flattening!
