N.B. 1: In Rhino, to show the Selection Filter toolbar, type "SelectionFilter" as a command. 2: Later versions of dpFieldmap does not keep the preview rectangle, so when exporting, use the free plotting preview window as a visual guide, so as to include adequate margins in the final export. To create a crop rectangle in Rhino, type "Rectangle" as a command, click somewhere in view, enter the length of the intended format multiplied with the intended scale [and if the model units are metres and the format in mm, divide it by 1000] (e.g. "420*1000/1000" for A3 1:1000; "841*400/1000" for A1 1:400), then do the same for the width (e.g. "297*1000/1000" for A3 1:1000; "594*400/1000" for A1 1:400). Then you can move the crop rectangle to the position of you choice (with the Gumball or the M[ove] command.
This tutorial demonstrates how to use dpFieldmap to export height curves, how to use these to generate landscape models in Rhino – and the tutorial also serves as a practical introduction to Grasshopper.
As of HT21, dpFieldmap is installed in the following computer labs: ARCPLAN, CADLAB-REMOTELAB, and DFL. Rhino 6 is installed in the following: ARCPLAN, CADLAB-REMOTELAB, XW343-REMOTELAB, and XW41-REMOTELAB. (Check https://www.kth.se/en/student/studier/it/campus/computer-rooms/lista for current status.)
