algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Now Tree8 has a new Component "Smart T8" with the integrated smart first-end algorithm..

 

There have been First-End List and First-End Item Components in Tree8..

 

But, with multi-dimensional data tree..

 

First-End List Component cannot manage branches inside every dimensions..

 

"Smart T8" Component is developed for managing the multi dimensional data tree with first-end algorithm.

 

It works with path index location..

 

"-1" or negative numbers mean the location of item..

 

"0" means the location of the last path index..

 

positive numbers mean the location from the back..

 

 

----

 

Now look at this example.. a simple 3-dimensional boxes..

 

In the data tree.. of {0;0;i;j} (k)

 

"k" is the item index.. Y direction..

 

"j" is the last path.. X direction..

 

and "i" is the level.. Z direction..

 

----

 

When index < 0 (i.e. "-1" or negative)

 

"Smart T8" performs like the First-End Item Component..

 

It selects first items in each list and puts them out to "F"..

 

and in this example.. they are boxes with same Y coordinate(=0)..


In the below image..

 

F(Red) M(Transparent Green) E(Blue) are classified by Y coordinates..

 

 

 

----


 

When index = 0

 

"Smart T8" focuses on the last path index..

 

It selects first list of every {0; 0; i; *} set of lists.. (i.e. every levels)

In this example.. they are boxes with same X coordinate(=0)..

 

because the last path means X grid..

 

In the below image..

 

F(Red) M(Transparent Green) E(Blue) are classified by X coordinates..

 

 

 

 

 

----

When index = 1

"Smart T8" focuses on the third path index.. (i.e. 1 step from the back)

 

It selects first list of every {0; 0; *; j} set of lists..

 

Actually in this case.. they are first levels of every YZ planes..


In this example.. they are boxes with same Z coordinate(=0)..

 

because "Smart T8" manages levels now (index=1)..

 

In the below image..

 

F(Red) M(Transparent Green) E(Blue) are classified by levels..

 

 

 

 

----

 

When index > 1.. (if it is meaningless index or out of range..)

 

It performs First-End List Component..

 

It selects only the first and end list of all lists..

 

 

 

 

----

 

The "Smart T8" component works with 3 or more dimensional data tree well..

 

Please control the focusing index and enjoy it.. :)
