Now available for Rhino 6 - Designing and optimising panel layouts made easy

EvoluteTools LITE is a free Rhino plugin allowing intuitive design of panelizations using multi-resolution mesh modeling and mesh optimization*. Meshes can be optimized for closeness to a reference surface, fairness (smoothness) of its polylines and several other goals. No strings attached: unlimited mesh size at no cost. When you run the plugin for the first time a registration window will appear asking for your email address, where you will automatically receive your license key.

*Warning: use it with caution, optimizing meshes can become addictive !

Features:

• multi-resolution mesh modeling
• global and local subdivision rules
• specification of vertices as anchor/corner points
• mesh editing tools
• mesh optimization for:
  • closeness to reference surfaces
  • fairness
  • sphere packings
  • further optimization goals available in EvoluteTools PRO (see videos below: planarity, edge lengths, co-planar seams, advanced closeness, ...)

• hybrid meshes (mixtures of triangles, quads, pentagons, hexagons, ...)
• modeling and optimization of N-gon meshes (PolyMeshes)
• analysis modes:
  • closeness to a reference object
  • planarity of panels
  • edge length distribution
