- This is a set of UserObjects for Grasshopper.
- Grasshopper is a Plugin for the popular CAD-System McNeel Rhinoceros 6.
- All code here is written in IronPython 2.7.8.0 as this is the interpreter Rhino & Grasshopper use internally.
The purpose of this project is to enable Rhino and Grasshopper to directly read, write and manipulate a variety of embroidery formats. This implementation relies on ironpyembroidery, which is an IronPython-compatible fork of pyembroidery.
The ironpyembroidery library is included here as a submodule, so you don't have to get it separately when installing! For more info read below.
- Go to releases and download the newest release
- Unzip the downloaded archive. You should get three folders
pyembroidery,pyembroideryGH,Examplesand a text-file.
