    Remap+

    BeyondWood

    I down loaded your remap+ component and cannot get my Grasshopper to open it. I tried to drag it to the canvas, no luck. I then right clicked it and choose to open with Rhino, no luck. I then copied it to GH library again no luck, but this time I think the problem is that because I Choose to open it with Rhino, GH does not see it as a Gh file. I can’t figure out how to get Rhino to “let go” of it as it’s file type. It might be nice to have a tutorial showing how to create Remap+.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    How to display vertices

    stmoen

    In the metaball tutorial the vertices (isocurves?) are for mesh objects are displayed. I can’t find any display setting that toggles the edges, vertices, or isocurves on and off. Can you help with this?

      Hi
      the main Metaball component of grasshopper does not show you the mesh but you can intersect planes with it to get the isocurves
      you can always hit ctrl+M to display the mesh edges
