Comment by Fabio Brocchi on March 24, 2019 at 11:51am: Hi Arthur,

I've find an issue about "mapping surface".

When i create the output, the result of the mapping corresponds to higher values to the ones calculated with hybrid method.

Practically, the results i obtain correspond to the ones i would have with a source of at least 120 dbA SWL, even if i inserted a "speaking person".

Moreover, i can't create output for all the parameter that are not SPL.

Can you help me?

Thank you in advance,

Fabio

Comment by Arthur on March 12, 2019 at 6:51am: Hi David,

The apply button is gone because clicking the library entry applies it's parameters automatically. This was requested by other users.

Regarding applying materials in grasshopper, it is fine by layer ID, and layer ID is assigned as the zero based order of appearance on your layer tab in rhino. You need one ID in GL per item in GG. Make sure your input is in list form, not tree form.

Comment by David Maimone on March 11, 2019 at 12:35pm: Hi Arthur,

I am trying apply material and I am having the same problem of Sandrine. If I click on the library, I can't choose apply, the button is not there like the tutorial. I am also curious to know how to apply material throug grasshopper canvas. And Finally, to be sure about the applied material, how can I check its application to a surface?

Thanks in advance

David

Comment by Hosniye on December 30, 2018 at 6:52am: Where to download this plugin

Comment by Arthur on September 24, 2018 at 4:35pm: Hi Sandrine,
To apply the materials as before, just click it in the library. It sets automatically.

Just responding to some feedback.

Camila, your issue should be resolved now as well.

Arthur

Comment by Sandrine Heroux on September 24, 2018 at 12:52pm: Hi Arthur, I just downloaded the latest version of Pachyderm. The «apply material» button seems to have disappeared. Is there a new way to apply them or might it be just a problem with my Parallel again? If it's the case, is there any way to get the previous versions?

Thank you for all your hard work!

Comment by Camila on September 4, 2018 at 5:13pm: Hi Arthur,

I have the same issue with Pachyderm Mapping Method tab. My Rhino crashes instantly when I try to open it. It is installed in Windows 10. I noticed you figured this issue. Is it possible to share this new code, please?

Thank you very much.

Comment by Arthur on August 16, 2018 at 12:30pm: Hi. I'm working on it. I have 3 running issues with rhino 6 on the Serengeti forum. When I have everything settled, I'll post the new version.
