"Nice, hope to see this feature in the future... Only one question, David: why this don´t work inside clusters? Is because of the different GHDocument when we close the cluster?"

"Very cool. Yes I can easily imagine the trickiness building up fast, looks really great though! Thanks for clearing that up David.."

"I'm saying that if you want this in Grasshopper, you'll need to use a custom script component to do it. Like the one attached. It's quite tricky to write these things because there's a lot of cases where you don't want the…"

"Hi David, This is something which I have wondered about for a while. Just to make sure that I am reading this correct. Is what you are saying, that it is possible to "bake" lines/curves with custom line weights to Rhino, but not…"

"Or more simply you could use the "pipe" component - this is more or less the "cylinder from line" functionality you're talking about."

"Hi Tim, Rhino is capable of drawing curves with different widths. But Grasshopper never does this. You may need to use a VB or C# script to accomplish this if you want to draw these shapes from within Grasshopper. -- David…"

Display solid bars (instead of "thin" mesh edges)

Hi everybody,I am studying the stresses in a very simple cable net. I need to display the results, and in order to do it properly I would like to "inflate" the edges. here my edges are too thin and I would like to see them bigger.Is there a simple way to do it in GH (like a component "cylinder from line" that keeps the colors)?Or…See More

"Hi Daniel, The C# script works fine, thanks a lot. But in fact I need to use it for each iteration, which is to say, I need to create a loop to change the stiffness each time... I made some research about gHowl and Hoopsnake. What is best in this…"

"I would also recommend to input lines (rather than meshes*) to the Geometry Input of Kangaroo if that is what you are interested in comparing. So you could use the WeaverBird MeshEdges to extract the lines before simulation, as they are then tied to…"

Hi everybody.I want to study the ratio "length" divided by "initial length" for each edge of my mesh.But here is what I have :After only one iteration, my mesh is nearly unchanged. So I should have an interval between something like 0.999 and 1.001. This is not the case...My explanation is that Kangaroo re-order (or…See More

"Hi Daniel, Thank you for your answer. As usual your help is valuable. I don't have time right now but I am definitely going to look at it and post my definition when I get something correct. See you,"
