Paneling Tools

Three surfaces created using the loft command

Grid panels created using ptGridCurve

2D Panels created using ptPanelGridCustom



For these iterations, I designed my own grid that I wanted to be projected on the curved surfaces.  I created the patterns using the array paneling tool.

3D Panels created using ptPanel3DCustom



These were slightly more complicated than the 2D paneling tools.  It is easy for them to look cluttered if the shape that I was using was too dense.  Also, if the shape was too complicated, it took longer for Rhino to create the mesh.  The simpler shapes created more readable patterns.
