Exporting to DXF with the Generate command

93brandon93

Hello,

I am trying to export this iteration of the notch snowflake into Rhino, but when I do all I get is a Single line. I can t figure it out. The code is here

            import processing.dxf.*; 
            RawDXF dxf;
            ArrayList<KochLine> lines;
            boolean record;
            void setup () {
              size (800, 800,P3D);
              background(255);
              lines = new ArrayList<KochLine>();
              PVector a = new PVector(50, 400);
              PVector b = new PVector(700, 400);
              PVector c = new PVector(width/2, 400+width*cos(radians(90)));

              lines.add(new KochLine(a, b));
              lines.add(new KochLine(b, c));
              lines.add(new KochLine(c, a));

              for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
                generate();
              }
            }

            void draw() {
              background(255);
              if (record) {
               dxf = (RawDXF) createGraphics(width, height, DXF, "output.dxf");
               beginRaw(dxf);
              }
              for (KochLine l : lines) {
                l.display();
                 if (record) {
                endRaw();
                record = false;
              }
              }
            }


            void generate() {


              ArrayList next = new ArrayList<KochLine>();
              for (KochLine l : lines) {
                PVector a = l.kochA();
                PVector b = l.kochB();
                PVector c = l.kochC();
                PVector d = l.kochD();

                next.add(new KochLine(a, b));
                next.add(new KochLine(b, c));
                next.add(new KochLine(c, d));
                next.add(new KochLine(d, a));
              }
              lines = next;

            }

            void keyReleased()
            {
              if (key == 's' || key == 'S') {
                saveFrame("KochRooms.png");
                println ("image saved");
              }
                if (key == 'r' || key == 'R') {
                  record = true;
                  println ("dxf Exported");
                }
              }

any help would be much appreciated, it saves the file and i can open it but it isn't what I need it to be to work with in Rhino.

but when I do all I get is a Single line.

That is bc you are calling enRaw() inside the for loop. Fix that and see if that solves your problem.

Right - that entire block should be moved out:

  if (record) {
    endRaw();
    record = false;
  }
