Introduction to PanelingTools for Rhino
This is the full presentation given by Rajaa Issa, the developer of PanelingTools plugin for Rhino, during the D-O-F (Design+Optimization+Fabrication) workshop at the University of Florida on February 11, 2011.
The presentation is broken into 3 parts. The first shows surface rationalization and unrolling. The second explores cladding and the third shows a weaving example. You can also download example files used in the Presentation (3DM Files, 24MB).
