tooling book - princeton architectural press




tools:
cracking
-works on a group which contains one or more faces, the tool cracks these faces

recursive dent
-works on lines which get bent in the middle, the more times you apply this tool the more deconstructed the lines will get

pointify
-creates construction points at all vertices of the selected lines

export construction points
-exports the coordinates of selected construction points for the voronoi and convex hull calculation

voronoi
-creates a mesh of lines and faces in 2d or 3d, while each exported construction points get its own 'cell' - the space is equally subdivided by each point's position
-note: only finite space cells get drawn since i couldn't figure out a way for the Qhull to export these infinite lines vectors (workaround: try to add more outer points, then intersect the result with a bounding shape of your choice)

convex hull
-encloses all exported construction points in a convex mesh (useful for bridging two point loops,...)
