Python and Button Component

I just noticed that the button is not working correctly with Python. If I click the button to activate it to True, which then instantiates something like a loop in the Python component, the series of…Continue

Python Bug

Can anyone explain why the below code is not working?  I'm wondering if this is bug in the new Python component.  The "a" is reading an object id, but the battery is outputting a null value.…Continue

Python and Button Component

I just noticed that the button is not working correctly with Python. If I click the button to activate it to True, which then instantiates something like a loop in the Python component, the series of commands aren't finishing.  But it works just fine with the toggle.  Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention it.See More

Erick Katzenstein commented on Robert Vier's group Octopus
"Great work on the solver!  I just downloaded Octopus and enjoyed the improved interface.  We worked on an interface in our office as well, here's the blog post if you're interested."

Octopus

Octopus is seen as an extension to Galapagos by introducing multiple fitness values to the optimization. The best trade-offs between those objectives are searched, producing a set of possible optimum solutions that ideally reach from one extreme trade-off to the other uniformly. Results are shown in a two- to five-dimensional, 3D-navigable solution-viewport. User-preferences on specific solutions can be specified when the optimization is paused, so the further optimization gets densfied around…See More

Section Boxes in Grasshopper

" I totally agree that Make 2d or Vray (or any other engine) would be great to use with the Clipping Plane, but all I've seen work with the clipping plane is Rhino Render.   If anyone is aware of another use, please share."

Section Boxes in Grasshopper

"Thanks Djordje, the clipping plane should cut all rhino geometry, including meshes and GH previews."

Parking Generator (working definition)

This definition is sloppy at the moment and needs a lot of work.  The parking counts are not accurate (it counts lines instead of spaces) and the generating spaces need work as well.

I'm posting the progress though in case anyone wants to check it out.

Shrink Wrap with Kangaroo

This definition approximates a shrink wrap for generic brep geometry.



There are two steps:



The first step creates a mesh from a bounding box and drags each vertex to the closest point on the brep. Andrew Heumann offered a similar definition back in December (http://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/shrinkwrap-with-grasshopper?xg_source=activity)



The second step takes the…

Laser Material Optimizer

Reduces material area for cutting from a series of sections.  Uses Galapagos.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Sectional Modeler for Laser Cutter

This is a definition (WIP, attached) which creates sections for a laser cutter from opened or closed single geometry.  This won't work on every geometry, but it will work for a lot of them.  It uses offsets and booleans so it may be difficult to predict.

 

I'm also playing with a way to minimize material area for cutting (with galapagos).  If anyone can offer help to improve it, let me know! 

 

Update:

 

- Some issues with outside…

check your gmail account please. Thanks. There is another problem i am facing with the defination. Once i export it to coral draw for cnc cutting, the curves fail to read and they don't join. Any advice for what i should do?
