Damien Alomar commented on Luis Fraguada's group gHowl
"Phillip, IIRC, the XML parser component was designed to work in 3 ways; with a file path, with a url, and with a raw XML string.  Have you tried directly inputting the XML string to component? If so is there any error message that get?"

Damien Alomar replied to raf2205's discussion Custom Data and Parameter " no implicit reference conversion..."
"The GH_Param class requires that "T" implement the IGH_Goo. Since TEST.SomeStuffs is only inheriting from System.Object (implicitly, as all objects do), there's no implementation of IGH_Goo, and therefore can't be used as…"

Damien Alomar replied to Philipp's discussion How to work with the API
"I'm assuming that you're more asking of a comparison between working with JSON vs XML as opposed to an evaluation of each API, since you don't actually indicate what you're trying to do.  For XML you've got quite a…"

Damien Alomar replied to Luis Fraguada's discussion Rhino.Display.CustomDisplay class clearing
"The problem here is really the recompile of the script that's needed everytime you edit the component.  That old display class basically gets thrown away without being properly disposed, which is causing those remnants to stay there. …"

Damien Alomar replied to Marc Syp's discussion Softball: How to access an objects properties?
"Remember that the GH types are not necessarily the types in Rhino, and that an object in GH doesn't necessarily exist in Rhino.  The best, most reliable, and fastest way to access a Rhino Object from GH is to do so by Guid.  Trying to…"

Damien Alomar replied to Gerd Fechter's discussion Which programming language should I focus on: VB or Python?
"If you get the impression that the language you choose doesn't matter from my post, then I think you've taken it the wrong way.  The language you choose matters, but possibly not as much as you think. Starting out its important to…"

"RhinoObject.Attributes.Name The ObjectAttributes class is what you're looking for."

Damien Alomar replied to Gerd Fechter's discussion Which programming language should I focus on: VB or Python?
"I think that C# should be something to consider as well.  C-style languages are everywhere, from php to Java.  The syntax, although it has a slightly steeper learning curve, is going to be the most useful when looking at other languages,…"

Damien Alomar replied to Zachary Soflin's discussion Compile IronPython Script
"I'd start by taking a look here. Basically there's a script pyc.py that is distributed with IronPython that will compile in to dlls (the default) or exes. There's also a sample that has an example of how to use it as well that you can…"

Damien Alomar replied to Andrea Lu's discussion what does the "T" mean?
"In addition to what David said, the concept of Generics is an important one and something that's a big jump from the Rhinoscripting world, as well as the old .Net SDK to RhinoCommon.   To start, lets look at what an array, which is the…"

Damien Alomar replied to pepe ballesteros's discussion CreateFromPolyline

Damien Alomar replied to raf2205's discussion Excel and GH first step
"Do you happen to have Excel open?  That line is meant to retrieve a reference to a currently active instance of excel, so if you don't have one available, it will fail regardless of the syntax.   Assuming Excel is open, your syntax…"

Damien Alomar replied to Miguel Vidal's discussion Debugging From Visual Studio 2010
"Well, there is no rhino4.exe.config file in the folder with the Rhino executable, nor within any folder for the project.  There was an app.config file in the project that looked like it had some syntax that you were referencing.  All it…"

About Me

Well, I am trained as an architect and did my undergrad and grad work at Catholic University here in DC. During undergrad I did a lot of digital design with Rhino and learned a lot of fabrication techniques. Once I got into grad school I got hooked on computational design and have been focusing on that ever since. My thesis focused on creating a generative system of architectural form from the rules and structure of Atonal music.

I've been using Rhino for about 5 years now, scripting for about 2, and using GH since it was released publicly. I also do a fair amount of dotNET scripting within GH and I'm currently moving on to doing a bit of plugin development for Rhino.

Although I've been working in software for a number of years now, I still have a desire to work in architecture. Taking the tools and skills that I've learned over the last few years and implementing them in real world projects is something that I'd still love to be able to do. For now though, on with the experimentation.

Hi Damien ,  I am new in rhino and Vray... Im finishing arquitecture in spain...Im doing some tutorials and I found very interesting your tutorial " Render an Isocurve using Toon Material in V-Ray for Rhino"... I know that is an old tutorial.. but the problem is that I cant find the script for the isocurves... can it be posible to share that old script so I can work and play with it???? I think its very interesting ... my mail is borjanet1@hotmail.com... thank you very mutch ...
