Hi Benjamin,
No. Rhino will assign new IDs to imported objects (only when opening a 3dm file are IDs maintained). Essentially, you should never use IDs to keep track of stuff. Either use Object Names, UserText or UserData. It is absolutely impossib…
In this image, you can probably replace the "set size" slider with a number from your divisions in either U or V (and you might need to add 1 to that number, I'm not sure). The set size will be your x number of points per rib. When your points com…
Here's some background: I a trying to move geometry as smoothly as possible between GIS and Grasshopper. I am in the midst of writing a python script that will output dxf files from GIS (DXF_R14). Then I would import the DXF file into rhino and brin…
In Rhino, try SelDup and Purge to get rid of unused items. And generally, while developing a project, it can be helpful to use a series of incremental saves as you develop your model, while deleting geometry you are no longer using. With incremental…
no. but you can use an integer slider with multiply to get the same result.
you could feed all the components into a "geometry" parameter, and then you would only have to select one thing. Or you could use a merge mutliple streams component, and just plug in whatever you will be baking on a regular basis. This cannot be don…
wow! super neat!
Math and geometry are so broadly applied throughout architecture, so you really could go in a million directions. Can it be applied math, or are you supposed to just learn some specific abstract math?
Personally, I'm slowly becoming more and more i…
Maybe what you want is a series {0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, . . . } that is then "jittered" using the jitter component {1.0, 0.5, 3.5, 0.0, . . .} and then culled with a certain number of culls in a random pattern {T, F, F, T, F, T, F, F, . . .}.
It sound…
maybe try having the output of VB step 1 alternate between true and false? Have it switch to False for as much of the loop as is possible, and to only switch to True for a single step, before switching back to False?
just guesses . . .
A basic strategy to orient a set of objects to the sun is to use the Orient component (from the XForm tools), using a set of planes perpendicular to a sun vector, and a set of reference planes for the input orientation of the objects. I can see that…
This is incredible stuff.
I'm not really sure what you are trying to do. Could you explain it in more detail or show a sketch or picture of what you want? Are you trying to move the curves up or are you trying to extrude them? And what do you want to do with the curvature?
Andrei, it depends on how this loop affects the rest of the definition. If you want it to loop through these values at some point within the definition, and you don't want to use them as a list, then you will probably need a VB component,. If you wa…
Orienting to an attractor and orienting to the sun are two very different things. If you orient to the sun, you would orient each component to the same vector (a solar vector). If you orient to an attractor, you would orient your panels with a vecto…
just hold down shift when you drag lines into an input. You can put together as many lines as you want. The order in which you connect the lines will be the order that they are stacked together.

I see you're in Berkeley. Had some friends that went there. Ate big pizza slices at that place on Telegraph, back in 92ish. I used to live down in San Luis Obispo. Really loved it there.

- Hey,
I did some exploration into urban geometries in general, and presented some lightweight concepts at the Cloud event, but I didn't actually dig into the GIS data. I was just using CAD files from the city engineering dept. I'd like to revisit some urban analysis issues in the future, as that sort of chaotic data set is very interesting to me.
