Grasshopper 0.8.0052 available for download

The next release of Grasshopper is now available for download.

You need Rhino4 SR9 or a recent Rhino5 Beta to run Grasshopper.

Note that you need the most recent Microsoft Runtimes to be able to run Grasshopper. You can download the latest runtimes from the Microsoft Website and be sure to get the 32-bit ones (vcredist_x86.EXE).

This release features fairly minor fixes and updates, to wit:

Create Set component now also outputs an Index map.
Integer Division now has initialization code support.
Typing a double quote (") into the Popup will now always create a Text Panel.
Typing a double slash (//) into the Popup will now always create a Text Panel.
Typing a tilde symbol (~) into the Popup will now always create a Scribble.
Typing a number into the Popup will now always create a Number Slider.
Typing a plus symbol (+) into the Popup will now always create an Addition component.
Typing a minus symbol (-) into the Popup will now always create a Subtraction component.
Typing an asterisk symbol (*) into the Popup will now always create a Multiplication component.
Typing a slash symbol (/) into the Popup will now always create a Division component.
Typing a backslash symbol (\) into the Popup will now always create an Integer Division component.
Typing a percent symbol (%) into the Popup will now always create a Modulus component.
Typing an ampersand symbol (&) into the Popup will now always create a Concatenation component.
Added a GeneList object to Galapagos to allow for declaration of a large number of solver variables.
Expressions now automatically evaluate strings that are used as variables.
Added menu shortcut UI to preferences (Interface section).
All components and parameters on the component tabs now have an alias menu item.
The Custom Preview component now draws its geometry differently when selected.
Added Cull Vertices component (Mesh.Util panel).
Added Delete Vertices component (Mesh.Util panel).
Added canvas panning navigation via the arrow keys.
Added canvas zooming navigation via the PageUp/PageDown keys.
Toggle Enabled menu didn't work, this is fixed.
Default Material Preview colours were both set to red, this is fixed.
Recompute item in Legacy menu was only enabled when objects were selected, this is fixed.
Canvas tooltips might stick around after an object has been cut or deleted, this is fixed.
Baking via the Radial Menu would happen twice under certain conditions, this is fixed.
Power operator component failed for integers with non-positive exponents, this is fixed.
XOR gate component was returning the inverted result, this is fixed.
Parameter Simplify Post-Process would fail under certain conditions, this is fixed.

Enjoy,

David

Maybe i missed this somehow... but, why disappeared so many icons from the toolbar?? (disable solver/preview/enable... (the ones in solution menu))

They were really handy.

Hey! I know am already annoying, but i feel there is also a strong need in some simbol for quick chouse of slider, for example

!=100.0 = slider with distance from 0 to 100.0

Thank you David.

Just a question: why aren't the "enable/disable preview" and "bake" button still in the canavas bar?

Have I ever to go on the "solution" menu at the top?

In my opinion in older version it was very useful to select multiple components and enable or disable them just clicking in the icon...

Hi Carlo,

you can use the Space bar or the Middle Mouse Button to open the Radial menu. Or you can use the Right Mouse Button to open the Canvas Menu. Both of those now have Enable/Disable etc. buttons.

Hi Christop.....finally i got the answer..anyway u must 've a zip ver. of GH first..after that if u use a x32 Rhino 5, just copy it into C/program files (x86)/Rhinoceros 5 WIP/plug-ins/

then use the regular procedure to install plugin within Rhino

i wanna add it in this forum directly but the upload size limit only 5 mb..:( try to acces this link : http://www.4shared.com/file/UoLQzNyP/Grasshopper_080052.html

btw i use win 7 x.64 & 've a great success, now its time to explore GH...:)

've a nice day
