Paneling Tools Grasshopper Download
Data matching is one of key concepts of most parametric tools. Since a Grasshopper object deal with multiple data from different input sources, we need to have a clear logic on how to match data. If you are familiar with the concept of Rhino Paneling Tools, you will see most of Morph components are pretty much about it. Download; buy; Download Panelingtools for Windows WIP.

Overview:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
First step is to create a rectangular grid using one of the tools in 'Grid' tab. Some of these components take a list of points, which you can generate using GH standard components, or divide a curve using one of the tools under 'Curve' tab of PanelingTools.
Once a grid is created, you can shuffle it using one of the attraction methods under 'Grid Attractors' tab. One output is the shuffled grid, another output is the normalized weights based on the attraction method that can be used for variable offset or variable paneling for example.
'Grid Utility' tab helps you do things like extracting points from the grid, replace points, extract center grid, expand grids, create surface from grid, etc.
'Panel Utility' tab has components to pull panel edges to a surface using pull, iso curves or shortest path.

'Panel2D' tab has many ways to panel the rectangular grid and populate 2D components.
'Panel3D' contain components to populate 3D patterns between 2 bounding grids.
If you used PanelingTools plugin for Rhino, then the Parameters tab is for you. You can use PanelingTools for Rhino to create your grid, then input into GH as a tree structure using 'Select' component. The 'Bake' components is to bake a grid in a format that can be used by PanelingTools plugin for Rhino. If you only work with GH, then you can safely ignore this tab.
Note: All input/output of PanelingTools Add-on to GH use standard geometry and you can use standard GH components to manipulate them. Grids for example are nothing but simple tree structures (no nesting). You can think of it as a list of rows or paths that contain certain number of leafs or elements.
It is important to try to avoid FLATTENING a grid. If you have to flatten a grid, there is a utility to recompose it if you knew the number of rows, but seriously, stay away from flattening!
