PanelingTools & Grasshopper

Summary: Examples that show how to go between PanelingTools and Grasshopper 0.6

These examples show how to select paneling grid in Grasshopper and be able to bake it back into the document in a mannar that make it usable by PanelingTools plugin commands.

I must warn you that the examples bypass Grasshopper logic of selection and baking and need to be used with care. I suspect future versions of Grasshopper will allow for a better integration of paneling functionality through either directly migrating paneling methods or allow for more robust and customizable selection and bake components. For questions please contact Rajaa Issa
