Modeling Methods
GEM Session 34: Interaction with Google Earth through SketchUp
Learn how to create models for Google Earth with ParaCloud GEM and SketchUp. This example shows a design exercise developing a twister urban sculptor.
GEM Session 33: Chamfered Frames System Fabrication Method
Learn how to create a chamfered frames system for fast fabrication of 3D surfaces with ParaCloud GEM. We use Pepakura for unfolding the frames and creating shop drawings for laser cutting or 2D CNC. This example is using SketchUp 7 (free edition), and can be applied to any CAD supporting OBJ, DXF, STL or Collada.
GEM 2010 Tips: Working with Google SketchUp 7 (free edition) using Collada Format
Using ParaCloud GEM with Google SketchUp 7 with Collada file (.dae). Learn how to export geometry from SketchUp to GEM, and clean up the mesh using the profiler plugin methods.
GEM Session 27: Creating a Parametric Truss System
Learn how to develop a parametric truss system with ParaCloud GEM. This tutorial shows how to use subdivisions and offsets to define structural zones populates with a truss beam component. SketchUp is used as a CAD platform in this example.
GEM Session 21: Generating a Parametric Honeycomb Pattern
Learn how to create a parametric honeycomb pattern and apply it to any mesh with the Action Sequencer plugin. A simple approach for generative pattern modeling with ParaCloud GEM.
GEM Session 18: Multi-Layered Mesh and Build-Ups
Learn how to create a multi-layered mesh system and design the build ups, using the Material Seperated DXF output for Rendering. This example uses SketchUp as a CAD paltform.
GEM Session 17: Mesh Clean-Up with Targets Profiler Plug-in
Learn how to clean up meshes imported from SketchUP and other CAD software and simplify to an ordered quad mesh.
GEM Session 15: Diagonal Ribs Structures and Unfolding with ParaCloud GEM
Learn how to create Ribs Structures in ParaCloud GEM and unfolding with Pepakura Designer for Laser Cutting.
GEM Session 11: Simple and Fast Generative Design Operators
Learn how to harness the power of GEM for introducing Generative Operators to control the behavior of components. A fast and easy solution that can be employed on any design surface in a few minutes.
GEM Session 10: Smooth Components Flow on Rhino Nurbs
Learn how to combine the power of GEM for Mesh Population together with Rhino Flow Along Surface Tool. A workflow for dynamic control over the populated mesh, that will inherit the surface curvature to match the NURBS smooth flow.
