Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

As a result of a request please find a series of examples for using the Path Mapper component.

The First installment of this is showing the Path Mapper imitating some already existing components. Flatten, Graft, Simplify and Flip Matrix. There is also an additional example showing Integer Divide to which there is no existing component.

For those uninitiated in the dark arts of pathmapper the component can be found on the Sets Tab> Tree Section with the icon of a red cube. Section 8: The Garden of the Forking Path of the Grasshopper Primer 2nd Edition is dedicated to the Tree Structure implemented in GH v0.6. There is an extensive Help file accessed from the 'right click' Context Menu.

UPDATED to correct an error in the Flip Matrix demonstration path_count should be item_count. Plus reflecting the change of the Simplify Component and Additional demonstration of grouping without the Path Mapper

Replace Branches

Not sure if it's right to include this here as its actually encouraging you not to use the Path Mapper, but sometimes there are benefits to being able to keep the definition free from restrictions like the Path Mapper. When a data structure changes the Path Mapper is unable to adapt without user intervention. This is demonstrated in the two Grouping examples above. The Path Mapper method would need the user to manually change the Integer 6 if they ever increased the V Divide, where as the Replace Branches Component will simply update based on its inputs.

I hope to follow this up with some more.....

As Promised:

Ignore the "Create Right Data Structure" group that's just for me to get the same as you.

hellow danny;

i´m making a definittion where a list of lines intersect with itself, and after that i´m trying to rotate those lines who intersect to avoid the intersection, i think the solution will be in the path mapper and to refit the path of the llist lines with the path of the "t" parameters of the intersection points.

 

could you look at the definnitios and say me if it is a solution for this???????????

thank you

I am liking your profile ! Thanks so much Danny, very kind of you.

great!Thanks!

Hi;

i am wondering if i can add variable input to path mapper. such as

A;B;C;.. (UNKNOWN) - (I)

I want to decide both A-UNKNOWN range and i via some parameters that i collect. is it possible?

Just a thought, may be useful for this to be reformatted for FAQ's

Hello, I am trying to perform a lexical operation on a data tree.

I would like to replace the number 0;0 by 0;5

I thought I could do it with pathmapper.

How Can I do that ?

Thank you for your help

Marc .

I'm after the last path in all cases.

Is there a wild card in Pathmapper to get this path as the output each time?
