Shell expansion drawing by Rhino using squish plug-in

By squish plug-in we can expand one plate at a time. Is there any way to expand more than one surface together, to make a traditional shell expansion drawing?

 

Do you mean to expand multiple plates as a single action or to expand two-surfaces linked together?

I don't believe you can use this function on multiple surfaces at once. You'll have to expand each singularly then lay them out.

Is this the plug-in you are using or do you have another?

I've found it pretty useful as it can flatten complex curvature but sometimes it produces results that are clearly wrong, so I've had to use it quite carefully.

 

To do a traditional shell expansion in rhino you have to do manual.

 

ACuttle i means expanding morethan one surface together, when i have splitted the hull surface according to my desired distribution of shell plates.
And micspoko, yes I do agree with you... but I hope rhino will develop plug-in which will really help in our shell expansion.

 

i also have a hope
