Damn Ypnos, I've always loved that project. It was published some time ago, right? I am going to build one in my backyard so I can escape from the kids when I need to (usually once every few hours).

Rob, I got the error when I tried to use it with all 4 surfaces at once.

I got the same thing Susan. I am finding it easier in most instances to use the "from contours" Sandbox tool. Still a nice script however.

I don't know why but sandbox tool yielded a very strange result for me (see attached image) You guys didn't have this problem?Censored to protect your privacy Susan
I only got it to work when selecting two faces at a time but not all at once

Jeff glad to hear you are around in here checking things out. That project is following me around - it was built in 2004 and it has been published a dozen times. That normally would be a good thing, my only problem is i haven't built anything of substance since. I've designed a lot of cool stuff but somehow finances fall through, clients move/change their minds etc. So every time I see it I get depressed not because it wasn't a great project but because so much time has elapsed since a thoughtful project of mine got built......
Anyways - sorry for leading this thread astray everybody - wandering is a bad habit of mind that has followed me into this forum.
Talk to you guys later

ypnos1, no attached image but I think I know what you are talking about.
If you look at the small tut I made Here I rotated the bottom arcs to face "upwards". The sandbox tool assums you are creating terrain so I believe the geometry you want to stitch needs to be facing upwards.Make sense???

don't know why the attachment didn't work...i'll try it again
ok
got it....the image was to large

Boofredlay
I must have missed your tut sorry. I make sense. I never thougth that running contours was direction specific as you have demonstrated in your tutorial. I have one more question.
If you didn't rotate the geometry 90 deg as you have done but changed the z-axis 90 would that be and easier thing? Probably 6 of one 1/2 dozen of another.
thanks for the clarity
Ypnos -
Probably easier that way, yes.
-
There are also other idyosincrcies ( drat how do you spell that?) with using sandbox. I think it might help if you don't have a bottom or side edges when you run it over the horizonatl contours because, as you see in the Ypnos example, it wants to stitch to the bottom edges too, otherwise.

@ Susan:
I also got it to work for 2 curves not for 4 at once.@ Ypnos:
Nice project, love the atmosphere, and straying from the topic isn't bad in this case, some nice things came out of it

Coen,
Many sincere apologies. Sorry about the image size man. I didn't read your previous message regarding file size - i'll be more careful in the future. Please remove my original image if its size is burdonsome.
As far as posting the ruby script....honestly i'm a architect naive in the ways of mischeavous scripts. Fortunately the people who download the script I posted have reported no anomolies in the script because I posted it in the exact way I recieved it. I'll try and post the link to the script itself next time.
Again sorry about overstepping boundaries on this forum....no offense intended.
