Ok, I've just checked up my license with the link u gave me and send it back to you.

I'll wait for your suggestion or new license then.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jon, The last license you gave to me now is working...,

I'll try it first.

Thanks for your help

Hello, I made an installation to try Egret. I have found the blog, help page and few page tutorial earlier in this forum but is there any complex documentation to struct draw or egret describing all or most of the features? Thx!

hi jon,i had a problem.the error :no valid license found!but i had sucessfully install the license you sent me.

can you help me ?

thax

as a beginner,  how i can start ?

Thank you Jon for your help via email... 

I was wondering what kind of progress (since your 2010 post) has been made on Geometry Gym communicating with Risa-3D... Let me know when you can! Thanks.

Hi Andy,

There hasn't been much in the way of requests for interaction with Risa3d so sorry to say no progress.  If there is support it can be done (but at this moment interaction with Revit, Digital Project, Archicad, Microstation etc is a higher priority).

hi jon,i had a problem.the error :no materials!but i had sucessfully install the license you sent me.

can you help me ?

Wrong plugin I'm afraid, you're looking at RhinoBIM and will have to contact them.  

o,why  this icons are red ?

Try updating the IFC plugin fromhttp://www.geometrygym.com/downloads as I fixed a cause of this problem yesterday.  A work around is to save, close and reopen the grasshopper model.

If you want to start a discussion thread within this group it might be better where we can add attachments etc.

Hi Jon,

I have intalled and licensed your IFC plugin.But when I open your examples,all the icons are still red.They show similar message like this:I'm using rhinoSR9 and grasshopper 8.0066.Could you tell me what does this mean?

many thanks!

Hi Jon,

I read your reply to someone's problem similar to mine.It seems to be solved...

Thank you for going to the trouble.

I have that same problem as @first1 any idea how to solve this? ( i have newest grasshopper 8.0066 , IFC plugin etc )

Run Rhino command GrasshopperDeveloperSettings and untick COFF loading.  Restart Rhino.  Let me know if this doesn't resolve the problem.

Now works thanks !

Hi i have question about any tutorials or help with making columns or generic model ( fancy forms from Rhino ) to simply importing them to Revit ? Slabs are in you definitions and this work perfectly now. Thanks for any help !

More examples are coming, I'm setting up some new components to permit a more "family" based approach that will more consistent with Revit.  If you want to post/email any models in the mean time I'm happy to help.

What is the error message?  Try running rhino command grasshopperdevelopersettings and unticking COFF loading.  Restart Rhino and see if it fixes the errors.

Hey Jon, 

My other problem has been solved. Now I have another question, I want to know how I can change the ssiLP from Dead load to snow or live load? I cannot modify this comportment !

Also how I can check the Buckling(P)? 

Thanks a lot..

Hi,  Glad to hear you solved your problem.  Have you found to filter the blog for posts specific to SAP using the tag cloud?  http://geometrygym.blogspot.com/search/label/SAP2000

If you right click on the Type input for the load pattern, you'll see a context menu as per this image.  You can run non-linear analysis from GH, I'll look into a buckling option but you'll need to do it manually having baked the model to SAP.  Member design is another I meant to have enabled by now.  Cheers,  Jon

Thanks a lot Jon for a quick answer. Could you please tell me why the ssiS component is red? And How I can find the axial stress in the elements?

When I bake the structure, The SAP doesn't show anything! Do you know why?

Thanks a lot!!!

I started a discussion thread on this, easier to attach files and collate the responses.  http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/geometrygym/forum/topics/sap2000

very great plugins ~~ I`m your fans  jon~~

Hey Jon,

I've a question about the GSA link settings in Grasshopper. How can I define the link settings in the SSI plug-in? I want to set the link on only tension but can't find a way to do this. 

Thanks in advance,

test model

method 1

method 2

Hi Jon

I want to put this several pieces of rhino surface into revit, I try to use the above two kinds of methods, but it didn't worked , Have you what a good method to deal with this problem?Thanks for any help !

Here is the test model file .https://www.dropbox.com/s/feyjduqi60dfl2i/test%20model%2020120627.3dm

looks like I'm 1000th member

Congratulations on being the 1000th member, it's a milestone I'm very thrilled to achieve and hope reflects on the benefits users are getting from my developments for Grasshopper.

Hi Jon, I am wondering what value I need to put into the RHS component to create the fillet? I have tried 0.1 to 1 and up to 90 with an expression to turn it into radians. Everytime the corners have remained at right angles. What vaule would you recomend? Or have I got something wrong?

Thanks 
Matt

Hi Matt,

I've put my response to your question into this discussion thread:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/geometrygym/forum/topics/structd...

How to apply a lineload ?
I suppose one should use ggCUDL.

But when i export to Robot the load vector is zero.

What to do?

Hi everybody,

I try to use the ggRobotSolver to get the results directly within Grasshopper. The ggQueryNodeDisp gives a runtime error (see image).

Did someone already use this feature ?

Jon, could you explain how to proceed or send an example ?

Thanks!

Hi,

I found the problem : i did'nt feed the N input of  ggQueryNodeDisp with correct data : N must be a ggNode output. But I get no results from ggS !

Can you test if this example is working?

http://geometrygym.blogspot.com/2011/03/galapagas-and-gsa-solver.html

Can you post your model to http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/geometrygym/forum/topics/autodes... (a good idea to collate the discussion there) or let me know if it's one of my examples?

Hello Jon,

Your example works. My model works now also but doesn't give any result. It takes a long time (relatively) to export and to get results (probably related to the numbers of elements to export, calculation itself is very fast in Robot).

I posted my model to the link given in your message.

Deat jon,i just learn a little about you plug in,and very interested,now i need you licence and some examples.
Thanks o lot!

ssIFCSS does not work,when space curves import or the result is not i wanted.

Hi,

there are some wrong about this

test.3dm

test.gh

Hi,

There are some problems. Need help! The close curve extended is not the solid.test2.gh

test.gh

Your first example there is 2 sectioned spine components.  The other one produces a better result.  Refer attached.  

For the second file, you are using the "Surface" component, if you use Extruded area solid you will get the caps.

test2.gh

I think it's better to put the questions into a discussion thread.

jon,is there a way to export revit files to IFC4?

Hi Mehdi,

Not directly yet.  Most software companies are saying it will take them a year or two to implement IFC4.  What do you want to import IFC4 into?  I could provide a converter (but it won't necessarily take advantage of the improvements).

I am planning on developing my own exporter for Revit, but it's a low priority (most of the workflows at present are GH/?? into Revit.

Cheers,  Jon

so what type of IFC file work with plug-in ? 2*3 and 2*2 doesn't work fine

My plugin can use IFC2x3 and IFC4.  Many software generates "bloated" IFC files for "coordination" with polysurface representations (like a mesh) that Rhino isn't optimized for.  Can you post example file and description to this discussion (or email/skype me)? http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/geometrygym/forum/topics/ifc-ind...

jon i export rac_basic_sample_project.rvt ( one of sample project) to IFC2x3 and i saw this

Can you please email me the IFC file you created?

what's up about a problem i mentioned ,jon?

Hey Jon,

I was trying to take a look at the Waffle Example from your blog under the 

GH to Archicad (OpenBIM IFC) Section

And I got a missing plugin error when i tried to open it. It said that it was sdrConvCurve. If you could let me know what I am missing that would be great. Thank you!
