Here's a basic step towards where you're going. I'm just trying to show you the basics of making a class, making methods, and passing data into and out of your component.
Hopefully this will get you started with…"

From what you have said, it is difficult to see a solution for you. It sounds like you are doing something in a way that is much more difficult than it needs to be. If you'd like help, you should describe the task you are trying to…"

Benjamin Golder replied to Arthur Mamou-Mani's discussion GH Python error "MissingMemberException: 'Guid' object has no attribute 'length'""Hi Arthur,
Basically, it's because rhinoscript was built to work with GUIDs and not directly with geometry objects. the C# script is not using rhinoscript. If you mix RhinoCommon and rhinoscript you will likely see more of these…"

Hi Benjamin,
Your terrain models look great. I have been looking at the photo of your Mini-watershed terrain sculpting model which looks great, I was wondering how you did this?
Thanks,
Kayleigh

Chris Wilkins said… Thanks! That's a lot of good info. Gonna take me a while to get through this, but I've got the whole semester. Gotta learn Python some, but what's another language?
Here's a link to the page where I post stuff for the class, if you want to check up on me later (not sure if it is a public site or not):

You said "In order to make a grasshopper component that reads shapefiles, I either have to convert all the shapefile reading code to C# or find a way to embed ironpython in a grasshopper component." Is this code something you can share? If so, I'd be interested in coverting it to VB and of course sharing that with everyone. Unless there is a technical reason that VB won't work.

Okay, I'm dropping you a line now. (a year later)
I'm just starting out a semester-long project involving geospatial data in general, but specifically using GH's computation to work with GIS and GPS. When we last spoke I had just been dabbling, but I've got serious interest in this now. I've not reviewed your work yet, but from a cursory glance, I think you might be doing some things I was looking at trying (importing shapefile data for one). I'm also interested in Google Earth's KML file format - have you played with that at all?
I'll go look at Finches and see what you're up to.

kessler said… - Benjamin Golder -- My wife and I would like to purchase a copy of one of the pieces you have mounted in the lobby at Wurster, your Wet Network map of San Francisco. Would that be possible? I am on-campus every Friday and could pick it up there. Your ideas and work are fascinating. Have you seen the Mannahatta Project? The ideas and GIS there might interest you. Dup of this is on your blog. Jack Kessler, kessler@well.com

- I am curious where you get the GIS data from.
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.

Split All Curves
After running into the need to split up a big messy set of curves at all their intersection locations, I decided to make a python component.
Basically, if you input a bunch of curves, this component should find every place where they intersect and then split them up, return a list of curve pieces on a separate branch for each input curve.
It should be able to handle self intersections and overlaps.
Feel free to use it, edit the code, and let me know if…

A Place to Share Python Scripts
I just started a new github repo for sharing python scripts for Rhino and Grasshopper:
www.github.com/localcode/rhinopythonscripts
If you'd be interested in sharing scripts, please feel free to check it out (or fork it, as the case may be).
I'd love to share ideas about how to work with python in Rhino, using a shared repository. You can also fork it and edit the documentation, add examples,…
