Daniel Davis replied to Dieter Toews's discussion K-Means

"Hey Taz,Very cool to see! And it looks like you are getting some reasonable results.Yea the spatial description is a tricky one - k-means is a classic garbage-in, garbage-out algorithm. The description will depend on what you are trying to achieve,…"

Dieter Toews posted a discussion

Extend Curve on Surface.

I am finding myself in need of something similar to the rhino extend curve on surface function that you can find in rhino but it looks like there is no obvious solution in grasshopper. Might there be a method for this buried in rhino-common? I've looked and not found anything (but that doesn't necessarily indicate much since 60% of the time i have little idea of what i'm looking at) If not i anticipate that the algorithm to implement it at a low level would be fairly mind bending indeed. In the…See More
