Kangaroo 2.01 released

by Daniel Piker

Apr 7, 2015

I just posted a new version on Food4Rhino.

This adds some new features and settings, and fixes some minor bugs.

Because the solver component now has an additional input (a tolerance setting for the distance at which points combine into a single particle), it will give an error message when opening definitions made with 2.0

This can be fixed by simply deleting the solver component and replacing it with the new one.

The example definitions and notes included in the download have been updated.

I will be posting some more example files demoing the new features soon in this thread:

    I'm noticing a weird behaviour where the solver doesn't seem to do (or just display? not sure which) any calculations unless I'm moving around the viewport with the RMB... I don't think that it's always been doing this, but in at least this one definition I'm working on, I can't figure out how to get it to calculate otherwise. Help appreciated.

        Hey, Daniel, thanks a lot for the new tool!
        Shouldn't the Mesh tab exist in this one too? I'm guessing those components won't be modified, but it would be nice to have them in K2, so that at a future time, when K1 is not installed anymore, they don't dispensary from the definition.
