Improvement: Geometry 'interfaces' to extend Dynamo functionality

Open ThomasMahon opened this issue 8 years ago • 10 comments

Dynamo version

1.0.0

Operating system

Win 10

Improvement Suggestion

Would it be possible to extend Dynamos functionality to include the concept of 'Interfaces'.

It would help to make parametric models far more efficient (from a processing time standpoint) and ultimately improve Dynamo's capacity to deliver large-scale projects. It would also improve graph legibility (less nodes) by reducing the dependency of many of the Query or Action nodes.

For example:

Point-like objects: Point > CoordinatateSystem > Plane > Vector

*If a node expects a Point as an input any of the above objects would be valid

Direction-like objects: Vector > Line > Plane

*If a node expects a direction (Vector) as an input any of the above objects would be valid

Plane-like objects: Plane > Arc > Circle > Ellipse > Ellipse Arc

*If a node expects a Plane as an input any of the above objects would be valid
