Variable distribution of 3D Modules with PanelingTools



A new release of PanelingTools plug-in is now available for Rhino 4.0 SR8 and Rhino 5 WIP.

This release includes a redesign of the variable custom paneling of 3D modules when using "Mean" method. Morphing method now uses relative bounding box in order to generate more predictable intermediate modules across the paneling grid. In the V5 version of PanelingTools, new options are added to better control the matching of start and end patterns which includes control points, point sampling and compatibility check.
