Until now I thought I new how to work with branch structures...So, I have a set of doubles and a subset of that set, which I want to add to the original. I thought that Grasshopper would add only matching paths, but it seems that it is totally ignoring the path structure.You can see in the picture that it is adding the double from the first path of the first set {0;1} with the first path of the second set {7;1}. Why??See More

I posted this in the general discussion, guess that was wrong... so here we go again:You can see in the picture I have a certain amount of curves along which there are some points distributed. The curve end points are fixed, but the ones inbetween are supposed to distribute themselves in order to be as far away from their neighbours as possible (the blue dots). In other words, all the points should be distributed evenly while still remaining on their respective curve.What the Kangaroo…See More

Hi there,I just started using HS and pretty much thought I understood the principle. However, even the simplest iteration process always has 0 as the first output after resetting HS. What am I doing wrong?Example attached. The starting value is compared to "y". Because it is bigger, is being lowered by the step "z". However, because F is not S in the beginning, the whole thing doesnt even work...See More

Hi everyone,I basically want to create a mesh-like network from a set of curves. The curves should represent one direction, while the generated connections should become the other direction.Now, this is easy if the curves all have the same topology, or go roughly into the same direction (picture 1). I just bring them in order, divide them and connect the points. Here, the input curves are black, and the resulting connection is grey.However, what would happen in the second picture? I'm sure you…See More

Hello there,I'm stuck at a problem for a whole day now and I just don't know what I did wrong. Here's the setup.I'm generating a kind of anisotropic mesh of which the transverse connections are supposed to have a cutoff if they get too long, in order to rip the mesh open, so to speak. Now, the cutoff value should be related to an attractor, so that no matter how long the springs actually are, they will break really quickly if they were close to the attractor in the beginning. THIS, however,…See More
