Sending text from Grasshopper

Hi all,

Is there a way I can get text to the Speckle viewer? At the moment when I send my analysis results from grasshopper directly to the Speckle viewer everything comes across nicely except the text which doesn’t appear.

Thanks!


Hi @davidjbrownstein

The speckle viewer currently supports text, however not universally from all host apps. It’s currently mostly restricted to text coming from Rhino and Autocad and it does not try to exhaustively support all the text features. For example this stream has some text and measurements coming in from Rhino

Maybe @clrkng has a better idea if text coming from grasshopper could currently make it to the viewer. And if so, how.

Cheers

Hey @davidjbrownstein ,

Grasshopper can only bake and not output TextObjects/Rhino.Geometry.TextEntity. There are some plug-ins around that let you output or convert grasshopper text to Rhino.Geometry.TextEntity. For example you can use Fennec and convert your text to Rhino Text. Then you can use the Speckle Dev Component “To Speckle” to convert the Rhino.Geometry.TextEntity to Speckle Text.
