help first loop_distance Brep Cp

by Dario

Nov 12, 2011

Dear all,

i attempt to design my first loop in grasshopper through this amazing plug-in.

I want to test the distance of four vertices of  a surface modeled in rhino and a cylinder that change position on the upper edge in according to the point on that.

my loop should be like

if distance<constrain return a value true, otherwise move the point on edge and recalculate the condition .

the constrain is a value i have chosen.

The first big issue is that to move the point on the edge to design the cylinder i have used a normal slider and it's impossible (for me ) figure out to link in input a flow.

Anyway i will grateful if somebody can give some advices .

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi Dario,

     

    It seems a bit difficult to grasp what it is about. Would it be possible to share the definition maybe? Still, it seems that you are trying to tackle a simple distance minimization problem, so in this case I would suggest to also take a look at Galapagos, it does a nice job at optimizing simple single-objective problems.
