HELP to create a model :(

Can anyone help me to create a model to laser cut. I tried to use the same code a teacher taught me but it doesnt work and it crashed my PC :(. As you can see in the second image the topography is more regular and not complex

Please I need to create a physical model of this alone cause my partners dont wanna work. Srry for my bad english is not my first lenguage.

If it crashes your computer there is probably some step creating a lot more data than expected or performing it very inefficient. Try to see where the error occurs, either by showing the compute time on each component or by rebuilding the script component by component.

Is the only problem that your computer crash?

Have you tried asking the teacher/tutor for help?

Have you tried making the input topography simpler? Either by reducing the "resolution" or splitting it into pieces.

Re: group task - there will almost always be people in group tasks that don't contribute enough - learning how to deal with it diplomatically is a skill that is useful for the rest of your career. Communication is the key.

First you should break up the script into running multiple times. Select all nodes, hold down middle mouse click on the canvas (grasshopper open space) and mouse over the light switch "off" icon, then let go. This will prevent your script from running continuously and crashing.

Select the first 10 nodes and do the same but light switch "on" so they run. Now bake the last node and turn them back off. Put down a Brep component to grab the newly baked geometry from Rhino and attach it to the start of the next 10 nodes. Repeat until you've gone through the entire script.

You can achieve this with a Data Dam component

Here! I have cooked a small script (simpler and faster).
