Hey guys, i did not quite get the concept of the base and target line. Maybe someone could explain it to me?

[@seanpretorius718]

So Shape map needs two flat lines on a plane to define the relationship of the 2d projected pattern to the 3d projected pattern. Similair to how orient sometimes works in rhino. So all you need to do is : add a line component in grasshopper - right click the line component - choose "set one line" - It will open rhino- In rhino click near the brep once and draw a line more or less the same size as brep and click. Then do the same thing over again with another line component and hook them to the shape mapper and boom. Note OP says after this point, line size isnt important as the area stays the same. @ 2:27

**** UPDATE - 15.11.2022 - It seems that the developers of ShapeMap just release the open version on Food4Rhino, so you don't have to use the complex process of installation and verification through WeChat. You can download and install the plugin from here: www.food4rhino.com/en/app/shapemap

This Link is working - but there is no download

I see an exe file here, but it's scary to install. Is it supposed to be like this? There's more in grasshopper format

[@poooonie]

Really a pain to have to first install wechat. But gave it a try nonetheless. After two hours trying to even get an English version going could not make an account. Got stuck on final step of signup again and again and no clue given as to why can't finish signup. Giving up.. quite frustrating love to try out shape tool ..

[@juanalbano140]

same :(( any progress or have you tried again?

[@poooonie]

@@juanalbano140 yeah I managed to get an account@wechat; found the plugin and managed to get a license. So things worked out!

[@juanalbano140]

@@poooonie glad it worked out! also managed to have my account verified so i'm excited to use these components, too!

[@HowtoRhino]

Glad to hear that! Good luck guys!

Is this plugin effective for grids

[@AnilVerma-jc2vq]

I can't understand , when you added reference line to shapeMap node (please help me)

[@adhamelsharqawy9964]

Me too, Did you get it?

[@AnilVerma-jc2vq]

@@adhamelsharqawy9964 I can't understand how does that works, but i did same as Master did. And now it's working.

[@digital_hos1]

there is no way to crack this chinese language shit on the wechat app. I just want the install button. that's very frustrating

[@underscoremavis]

yeah its bullshit. everything needs a stupid ass account these days

[@maherjebbeh7748]

it's very difficult process

[@MustangGT2024]

Super! thanks a lot for explaining this!!

[@waruiotoko378]

youre the best man!!!! thanks alot.

Is this plugin effective for girls?

[@johnashok8028]

How to change size of one panel?

[@sidafeng8583]

lucky i can read chinese 🤣

[@Tokomak_5]

It is not available on that chinese website anymore. Any alternative download links?

[@HowtoRhino]

There wasn't the download link, just download instructions. You need the WeChat app to download and register your license. One account can register two devices.

[@marcelhakelberg3067]

The link Wechat (Rhino3D) is sending - is not working anymore - Does someone knows a solution for that?

[@shinndin]

🧡

[@Marvelcurd]

Ive Asked, oh my gosh how long I searched for that

[@adityaadit2004]

I wish they add this to vanilla rhino

[@davidaragon5464]

it is posible to extrude de final lines?

[@hailzetan]

So.. this is a free plug-in yet I need to pay patreon to see installation instructions? I mean you're already getting paid for content. why not post the link here?

[@HowtoRhino]

The plugin is free and you can find and download it by yourself, but you need to have a WeChat. Otherwise, you won't be able to install it. Paid content at our Patreon is only for those who need help with installation instructions.

[@mustafashyhan]

Can this work with voronoi ? Thanks.

[@5_gz285]

so it does show while rendering ?

[@soggysweatsocks]

Thank You!

[@HowtoRhino]

You're welcome!

[@Santhoshkumar-mf5ei]

Can this work on rhino 7 and i have done all the installation process but in the data panel i am getting "null"?? Do you know why ?

[@maherjebbeh7748]

same problem

[@HowtoRhino]

I also had the same problem a couple of times. Try to move and copy the inital geometry and reference again into ShapeMap. I know it sounds weird but I did the same process multiple times and it solved the problem. Hope it helps!

[@ffstructures]

brilliant

[@hopperblue934]

Yes🎉

[@majokiaba2474]

Can anoyone share download link? I don't have a wechat and don't know anyone to setup one. thx

[@HowtoRhino]

Unfortunately, you need Wechat to install the plugin.

[@ivangrebennikov799]

​@@HowtoRhino yep, the first node checks if you have your license. Gotta make my version of this plugin, for people to use, without this shit

[@HowtoRhino]

@@ivangrebennikov799 Thank you for giving us your opinion on this matter. Good luck with making your version of this plugin!

[@digital_hos1]

@@ivangrebennikov799 such a shitty way of getting it man. super frustrating

[@Miko-jo3sg]

Game changer

[@m.fu.cvissuals8444]

i cant find the download link

[@HowtoRhino]

First, you need to make sure you have a Wechat to install the plugin. After that, within the app you can send request for the download link.

[@dannyortega8365]

Does anyone know what this means on the instructions?: "Follow Rhino original WeChat service number." I never used WeChat ha

[@HowtoRhino]

Basically it means to follow Rhino official account on Wechat. If you need detail instructions how to install the plugin, you can find on our Patreon page: www.patreon.com/posts/73802216
