AI and scripts

[abiliofernandes097]

Hi

ChatGPT now has a feature to create "geometry nodes for Blender" by describing the function you'd like the geometry node to perform.

Is there an AI for creating scripts or other resources for Fusion?

Thanks

have you tried asking chatGPT? 
or maybe in the API and scripting forum.

ChatGPT works surprisingly well. Here's the start of a quite involved chat that culminated in a perfectly serviceable Add-in that successfully  backed up to my local drive 8 odd years of Fusion "work".

As I had done about 10 hours total of programming since FORTRAN 4 classes in 1972 I certainly needed "help"

Do you believe it's possible to create modeling tools with chatgpt?

For example, scripts to create loops in a solid?

[Warmingup1953]

I'm not sure what you mean by loops in a solid? Example? I assume you have a mathematical formula?

[abiliofernandes097]

In fact, I used a Blender tool as an example. You can subdivide a solid without having to use Fusion's sketching features and without creating two bodies. It's ready to edit as you wish.

I generally ask: is it possible to create tools for fusion with AI by creating scripts?

 I am honestly not kidding when I suggest that you ask ChatGPT that question.

Yes there are tools in the API for edge loops that are part Design Forms utilities. 

Insert an edge into a T-Spline body 

Based on the reply from Warmingup1953 it appears that chatGPT can help with scripts. It’s just a matter of you working with it to do what you want.

I'm talking about nurbs surfaces

[TrippyLighting]

Inserting edge loops into NURBS geometry only works in the simplest of cases. Most even slightly more complex objects designed in CAD, work with trimmed NURBS.

In essence the shape of a NURRBS surface is controlled by a quadrilateral grid of control points, so in essence a quad, not dissimilar to a T-Spline or Sub-D quad. 

Trimming then allows non-quad faces, which makes it impossible for an algorithm to determine edge flow without human assistance.
