"thank you David!"

"Hi David, thank you very much indeed! Can it be this pattern is a made up of a sync function? The dots seem arranged in a sine function!"

"Like so? I actually found a bug with Curve|Line intersection and degenerate curve bounding boxes. That's why the division slider is limited to odd numbers only, to prevent a single straight segment from appearing in the middle of the…"

"Hey David, If you have time could you work up an example? I'm going to go try something, but I'd like to see how the Master would do it. ;-) Thanks, ryan"

"Hi David, I found it here (look at the bottom) http://www.aecbytes.com/viewpoint/2007/issue_32.html . It says they developed it in LISP for Acad ... so just wondering how to make in VB; I think the arc arrangement of circles is due to the changing…"

"It appears to be a collection of arcs that bulge further out as you go left or right from the center. These arcs are then intersected by horizontal lines since all the circles appear to be strictly aligned. I'm not quite sure how the circle…"

"oh please keep posting photos especially from NonlinearBiology..very interesting. what are those nodes?"

"Hi Damien, thank you very much for helping! I have to say after your explanation the uses of such classes is much clearer and helped to make some improvements in the code. It's shame rhino.net documentation is a bit poor at moment. In order…"

"In this case, making the copy is very important. The translate and transform methods will work directly on the object that's calling the method, so without creating the new instances you'd just be moving the same one around. Multiple…"

"Damien, thank you very much! this is extremely helpful . I actually didn't know I could make copy of my geometry by simply defining a new object and pass by it the constructor of the class (Dim tempBrep As New OnBrep(brep) ). The trouble I…"

"See if the attached helps. All you need to do with the AreaMassProperties method is pass in the OnMassProperties variable that you've declared. Only after you've done that can you extract the centroid of the object. Then the centroid is…"

"Hi Damien and Suryansh , Unfortunately my geometry is not a closed brep, does it work anyway? Please look at the picture Anyway I am confused about how to use the AreaMassProperties method. I read the rhino sdk .net help but it not clear…"

"short hand method... myBrep.Translate (ToPoint - FromPoint)"

"to follow that up, you subsequently need to create vectors from this centroid to all your target points, and use the vectors as transformation. Depending on the geometry type you are using, some have a built in function .Transform, or you could use…"

"Assuming its a brep, declare a variable with the type OnMassProperties to pass into OnBrep.AreaMassProperties. Then use the Centroid method of your declared variable to get the point and move accordingly. If its a curve, you'll still have to…"
