Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

The next release of Grasshopper is now available for download.

 

You need Rhino4 SR9 or a recent Rhino5 Beta to run Grasshopper.

 

Note that you need the most recent Microsoft Runtimes to be able to run Grasshopper. You can download the latest runtimes from the Microsoft Website and be sure to get the 32-bit ones (vcredist_x86.EXE).

 

 

This release features fairly minor fixes and updates, to wit:

  • Create Set component now also outputs an Index map.
  • Integer Division now has initialization code support.
  • Typing a double quote (") into the Popup will now always create a Text Panel.
  • Typing a double slash (//) into the Popup will now always create a Text Panel.
  • Typing a tilde symbol (~) into the Popup will now always create a Scribble.
  • Typing a number into the Popup will now always create a Number Slider.
  • Typing a plus symbol (+) into the Popup will now always create an Addition component.
  • Typing a minus symbol (-) into the Popup will now always create a Subtraction component.
  • Typing an asterisk symbol (*) into the Popup will now always create a Multiplication component.
  • Typing a slash symbol (/) into the Popup will now always create a Division component.
  • Typing a backslash symbol (\) into the Popup will now always create an Integer Division component.
  • Typing a percent symbol (%) into the Popup will now always create a Modulus component.
  • Typing an ampersand symbol (&) into the Popup will now always create a Concatenation component.
  • Added a GeneList object to Galapagos to allow for declaration of a large number of solver variables.
  • Expressions now automatically evaluate strings that are used as variables.
  • Added menu shortcut UI to preferences (Interface section).
  • All components and parameters on the component tabs now have an alias menu item.
  • The Custom Preview component now draws its geometry differently when selected.
  • Added Cull Vertices component (Mesh.Util panel).
  • Added Delete Vertices component (Mesh.Util panel).
  • Added canvas panning navigation via the arrow keys.
  • Added canvas zooming navigation via the PageUp/PageDown keys.
  • Toggle Enabled menu didn't work, this is fixed.
  • Default Material Preview colours were both set to red, this is fixed.
  • Recompute item in Legacy menu was only enabled when objects were selected, this is fixed.
  • Canvas tooltips might stick around after an object has been cut or deleted, this is fixed.
  • Baking via the Radial Menu would happen twice under certain conditions, this is fixed.
  • Power operator component failed for integers with non-positive exponents, this is fixed.  
  • XOR gate component was returning the inverted result, this is fixed.
  • Parameter Simplify Post-Process would fail under certain conditions, this is fixed.

Enjoy,

David

Hi David,

 

at first thank you for the new release!

I like the new Gene List component especially the icon. :)

Is it possible in this component to change the names ("0"; "1"; "2"; ...) of the single sub-sliders?

If not I think it would be nice to have the option to write names after the numbers.

 

Best,

Martin.

Oh, nice! Galapagos can be connected at once to gene list!

But one question, though: how can each slider in Gene List be edited separatelly ?
I mean, what if I need each slider to have different numeric domains ?

Hi Charles, 

 

that is currently not possible. If you want that I suggest you create a set of unit sliders (0 to 1) and combine them with a list of custom domains that will remap each individual slider value into the desired domain.

and also maybe the ability to joint-split sliders into gene list.

is it a way to design remote panel layout in future?

Just installed latest available of weaverbird but it does not seem to work with this version of grasshopper.  Wondered whether an update is available.  Many thanks William
works fine here.
For me too.

OK I just re-installed wb and it now works.  Regards

William

I just realized you said "You need Rhino4 SR9 or a recent Rhino5 Beta to run Grasshopper. yet I have been using it on sr8 since the update came out and it works fine. Am I missing something here?
Yea just confirmed by installing at my job which is also on sr8, it works on sr8, for me at least.

I know, SR8 probably works as well, but we've had people with older releases who ran into problems and since SR9 is the only one available for download I thought it was better to aim high.
