"The expression editor just evaluates simple expressions - I don't think it can do anything on the level of complexity of wolfram alpha. However, you can access wolfram alpha directly from within grasshopper - all you need is a WA api key, and…"

Expression editor, symbolic math editor, general questions

Hi all. I was just wondering about the scope or extent of the capabilities of the GH expression editor. I am not a mathematician or scientist, so I am not particularly familiar with these types of tools, but I am beginning to build components for constraint based modeling (if that is not too redundant a phrase). I am wondering if it is it possible to write expressions that wolfram alpha might process, for instance? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Regards, GavinSee More

Visual studio version

Hi everybody. A quick question regarding the appropriate VS.net version. I purchased a copy of VS.net in 2005, though I have not used it a great deal and currently it is uninstalled. Is this version still good?, or should I consider the new 2012 version, or VB express 2012? Thanks for any guidance GavinSee More

invert across surface

Hi Rajaa, Thanks for the new release. I am wondering if it is possible to construct a panelling setup in gh or R, that inverts as it crosses (passes through) a surface. Best Regards, GavinSee More

Gavin replied to Gavin's discussion curve, line or possible other object as attractor

"Hi Hannes, thanks for the reply. I was thinking more of the potential for a curve or line's length as a localized field to effect attractor response rather than a point (or closest point). So maybe that is the real question : are…"
