1. Tutorial: Publishing Basics

Length: ca. 10 min

What this is about

This tutorial will introduce you to the basics of the RADii Grasshopper plugin. You will learn, how to publish(upload) geometry to a specific RADii channel. To install your plugin, checkout the Grasshopper Setup guide.

Tip

We recommend that you create your own RADii account on RADii.info to publish on your individual channel and extend your upload limit.

Attention

The following setup will publish/upload all existing geometry from your Rhino file. Use it with care and not with big models.

1.1. Connect RADii Grasshopper Components

Every RadiiGrasshopper file starts with the Connect component. To it, you connect the PublishMaterial and the PublishGeometry , components. Add a geometry input to the later, in our example we are using the geometry pipeline as shown in the picture.

More detail about the components can be found at RadiiGrasshopper in the documentation.

1.2. Enter Credentials

Log in with your Radii.info account and password you have created during the Grasshopper Setup and left click on load account to log in. Your private domain will show up under the section - CHANNEL - and possibly others if you are part of a class or group.

1.3. Choose domain and channel

Right click on the Connect component, there should be a tick next to username >  My Domain, in this state your would publish your geometry on on your personal channel. More information about channel addresses can be found at Connect. Change the tick to its respective Domain name. Press Enter to confirm.

Attention

You have to publish to the same channel that your viewer is connected to - typos leave you stranded.

1.4. Connect

To activate the connection to the channel double click on the dark false on the Boolean Toggle to turn it into true, as shown in the picture above.

Congratulations, your model should now appear in your Radii viewer!
