"Hey Daniele, I just took a quick look and there was a path mapper in there that didn't account for a certain branch structure. Try this and let me know if it works. -Brian"

"Hi Brian, the Arch component that you posted here is exactly what I am looking for, only problem is when I open it in my GH 0.9.0006 it comes out labeled as OLD and it completely disregard the fraction denominator. See attached image. Any…"

"Hey Jeff, That looks like my Arch Dim converter! Glad to see someone's getting some use out of it. I'll admit I'm still not sure exactly what you are after, but maybe this? (also see attached) It's the reverse of the…"

"please forgive my inability to explain myself clearly in a program I obviously have no idea in what I am doing... That is just the reverse of what I had ft to m instead of m to ft. My sliders are already set up to work for m, thus I…"

"maybe another option could be that you make make a cluster that is the conversion mathematics you require. Or if its simple for instance. (1 inches = 25.4 millimeters) then just save a multiplication component off to the side somewhere with 25.4 set…"

Hey,Long time Rhino user, but recent user of Grasshopper. I have a basic question, but I have a feeling there isn't an easy solution. I have a very complex ghx written for an architectural project that was using the metric system. All of the sliders, and numbers are based off of meters. I am trying to reconfigure this to use for an imperial project here in the US. Everything is already set up for new users [slide this to increase "X" and slide this to increase "y" and so forth]. It was…See More
