scripting_data2PointsOnSurface
Moving right along form the last post, I have now combined the data read script as a function into a new script that actually does something remotely interesting! The script reads the data, stores it in an arra and then uses this data to propagate a surface with the specific number of random points. It continues through the dataset, propagating each value of points on a new layer, so eventually it will create a file that has a base surface, with x number of layers, each with a unique number of points in a different color.
It isn’t very intelligent yet, as it tends to put a lot of values near the edges of the surface, but with a bit of proximity detection it should be able to scatter the points more evenly. Hopefully this script will evolve into a packing script of some description. That is the ultimate aim, but i’ve already achieved the most important part of (semi)live data transfer to the rhino environment.
