Space Syntax

Hi Pirouz,

I'm an architecture student, and I would like to use Space Syntax for my next project. 

I'm getting an error while building the algorithm, it's written "object reference not set to an instance of an object" do you know what does it mean and how resolve it ? here are the files, I also try with an other algorithm but there is exactly the same problem. Could you help me, please ? 

Thanks a lot!

 Hi Nicolas Rawitscher,

I just opened your file but did not find any lines for connections. Actually, even looking at lines I could not easily tell whether it is a planar graph or not. Many graphs cannot be possibly drawn on a piece of paper without their edges (links) crossing one another. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_graph

if the graph in question is not planar, then the kissing disk drawing (discograph component) will also fail to draw it; and that is not a bug. However, by lowering attraction force coefficient or adjusting it together with the repulsion force coefficient you might manage to get a good drawing. But please note that drawing a graph has nothing to do with analyzing it. In fact a graph can exist without anybody seeing its drawing. Think of your Facebook network of friends, in which every friendship is a connection link. You don't need to see it to believe it exists. Long story short, you can do Space Syntax analyses on a graph that does not have a good drawing (e.g. non-planar). Making a plan layout from a graph that is not planar can be done by making a set of plantar components acting as plan diagrams of floor levels but this will be mostly a theoretical investigation I would say.

Hi Pirouz,

I tried using the new version. i connected the points (spaces) to the relevant NEWS (suitable to NZ). In the final output NEWS also moves like any other space. Is that correct? Generally, NEWS is supposed to be anchor points and they do not move, whereas only spacial discs move depending upon the interconnections.

Is it possible to add an input - 'anchor points' to Nodes & Links components ? in that case we could also add more parameters such as scenic views etc?

Moreover is it also possible to connect points with Repulsive Spring Force, for instances where 2 spaces can not be next to each other for logistic reasons?

I know i'm being greedy here :-D...

Kind regards,

AB

Hi Priouz,

Sure it is, i have downloaded the new version and i could see NEWS. Now i have to figure out how to use it :-). i will get in touch if i can not...once again thank you and your are very generous and kind.

Hey Pirouz, thank you for your quick reply on the youtube channel. Attached is the rhino file and the GH file PIROUZ.3dm PIROUZ.gh

Thank you for your tiem and help,I will be waiting for your response

Nicolas

Hi Agneesh, it always feel good to see people find your work useful! :) my pleasure. Have you tried the new version (2.7)? I have not updated the video yet, but those operations with NEWS have been added. Or did you mean something else?

Hello Pirouz,

I'm sure you must be tired of listening to 'Thank you' for the plug-in...nonetheless thank you again.

Is there a way to include anchor points such as North / South / East / West / Views etc in this algorithm? Can we do it in its (space syntax's) current version?

Thanks

So, given a boundary, a set of points inside that boundary and a set of corresponding radii, you should be able to play with this component to make bubble packing. Disclaimer: I do not support bubbly designs necessarily : ).

Hi Richard Turner, the weighted Voronoi component works like the native Voronoi component of GH with the difference that it can accept multiple radii corresponding to the points as their weight. In that sense, it creates some sort of a bubble packing.

Hi there, firstly fantastic plug in! second im completely new to grasshopper and currently stumbling my way through tutorials trying to get up to speed. Would somebody please be able to explain how to use the weighted voronoi component in this plug in, apologies if it is very basic

thank you
