I am working on a project right now in which i am trying to achieve architectural 'space' through information points. i have all the points and i am really excited (and pressed for time) to see how your 3d voronoi definition can work with this. i was fiddling with the older definition you had, and everything works, but there is an error for the output from the 'planar' component. everything before that works fine. why can this error be? also, because i couldn't get that to work, i tried the new definition you created, but this one seems much more complicated and the ghull component (and everything else) is red. the runtime error is that it can't find the specified file. even after the referenced assemblies is updated.
please help me, i am really interested in what i can do with this. at this point i am just checking out the definitions so i don't have another definition that might be creating problems.
hi . m trying to use ur qhull definition, m still not able to figure it out. just had a query that i m running a system of 64 bits with windows 7. Is it because of this reason?. m not sure if qhull is working on this system
Sounds good. I'll see what I can do. Might be slow going as I have a big work deadline at the end of July...far away but its a lot of work. Anyway I will slowly chip away at it. Using your qhull code I should be able to figure out the general method for starting a process stdout and the grasshopper vb(or c#) side. So I guess the problem is really figuring out the cgal side. Talk to you soon and thanks again. it would be cool to get this to work. I really like the idea of extending grasshopper with qhul, cgal, mathematica...
Unfortunately my knowledge of c++ is zero but I will talk to some people and see what they know. I know that the zaha guys at data-tribe.net have used the cgal library in connection with maya so maybe i'll email them and see what they have to say. I'll get back to you when I get more info. thanks for the help.
Thanks for getting back to me. I will have to look at it more closely.last night after looking at it i thought that it wouldn't be possible because it seemed to be just a collection of c++ libraries and not an exe that you could call like qhull. Anyway thanks and I'll get back to you if I make any progress.
Dimitrie,
Your qhull work is super impressive. I had no idea that you start external processes in grasshopper. I know a little vb and I am trying to make my way through your c# code. But do you know any reason why I couldn't do the same with this program: http://www.cgal.org/Manual/3.4/doc_html/cgal_manual/Stream_lines_2/...
I'd hate to spend a couple of weeks deciphering your code and trying to apply it to the CGAL stramline package only to figure out that it can't be done.
Thanks for the inspiration.
p.s. wanted to try your vPorn with qhull... for some reason the link to your def does not work... http://improved.ro/Grasshopper/qhull.zip maybe something on my end?

Hi Dimitrie,
I am trying to figure out your 3D Voronoi definition that works with qhull but with no lack. It gives me this error:
"error: the requested operation requires elevation (line: 0)"
Do you happen to know what could fix that? Thank you very much.
