"Hi Brett,   Some general advice as I've just gotten into the office: One of the issue may be the LT (LifeTime) parameter on the integrator component. This determines how many 'steps' of the integration is performed before…"

"The examples have not been updated yet sorry! They will still work if you recreate the integrator and settings components appropriately, but we haven't had the time to yet do so. I don't currently have access to a version of the toolkit…"

"Did you just install a new copy of the component set? If so when you load a solution that used the previous set, you should delete the integrator component and recreate it. The integrator went through some changes and Grasshopper is warning you…"

"Hi Marilu,   We updated our components in a pretty big way just this past friday. Unfortunately, our example files have not been updated to reflect these changes yet.   However, in most cases you may fix the example error by deleting the…"

"Hi Martin,   Two of the new components we added may be of interest to you, Surface Flow and Surface Attraction. Surface Attraction can also act as repulsion by specifying a negative attraction factor, hopefully that may assist you. Also the…"

"This was a big release for us, with lots of new features -- 7 new dynamics, mobile dynamic emitters, inter-particle forces, better handling of acceleration and the addition of another form of integration (for a faster, less accurate…"

"Hi Martin,   We will be working on both of your feature requests for the next release for sure. We're hoping to release the next version in a few weeks, we will also try and include any further requests up to that time."

"Just a quick note that we've tested the SPM component against the latest version of GH and it does appear to be working fine. Please post any problems you may find in the discussion board if this is not the case!   Also we are looking for…"

"Thanks, David"

"Hi Jerome,   Giulio Piacentino has an excellent tutorial video on starting a C# component for grasshopper scratch, which is here: Video Tutorial   That should help you get started with the basics, there isn't a lot of…"

"Hi Jerome,   You can register lists of doubles in this format: pManager.Register_DoubleParam("Name", "Label on Component", "Description", GH_ParamAccess.list);   Note the GH_ParamAccess.List part.   If…"

"There's probably a better way to do this, and maybe someone else will come along and correct me. However, you could create a vertical plane at X,0 and then test for curve-plane…"

"If I'm following correctly, you want to have your component run when some inputs are not present. You can achieve this by setting them as optional:   pManager.Register_DoubleParam("Double1", "D1", "Double…"

"Hello,   Although I'm told 'Mid' is a bit anachronistic, in VB you can use: Dim s As String = "test string" Mid(s, 7, 1) =   In C# you can use:     sb[7] = s = sb.ToString(); string s = "test…"
