ok now i know what you mean, well i guess i got my problems with finding a solution. this is our polysurface: http://grasshopper3d.googlegroups.com/web/polysurface.JPG?hl=de&gsc=UcRz7QsAAAAa4Qw-9Zs3ioIcCU0zIFjO i tried the script form the grasshopper prime tutorial (diagrid) but im not sure if this is the right way. cause if i set a geometry and select the whole polysurface i always get a system out of memory exception error -so i guess ill have to try an other method. so you mean i should make something like a "point grid" on every surface- with the same distance between every point and then conect them with lines - i guess there exists a command in rhino for making the point grid. but i dont know the right name (im using the german version)- that must be better than dividing the UVs (like in the tutorial)- when i tried to use the script on ever seperat surface it didnt work very well-
can i use the same script on a mesh-cause what i dont understand is: when i got a surface with 3points the paneling scirpt always uses the whole surface with the fourth controlpoint for paneling (because of UV division ??)?? and can i make panels for a mesh with the same UV dividing method?? sorry but as i said its first time trying to panel and even our prof at the university couldn't help us.
