Thank you Carson !

UPDATE 0.4.0 is out!

New Vector Maps : Download city roads and buildings inside Rhino! This new component imports geographic data such as roads, buildings, parks, amenities and much more. See Map Vectors Example included in download

New MapProject component : This component works in conjunction with the new “Vector Maps” component. It allows you to scale Lat/Lon to meters and center those points with respect to the data imported by “Vector Maps”. See Map Vectors Example included in download

New MapPlaces component : Extracts “Places” or amenities such as businesses, parks, cafes, restaurants and more from Google Places.

Hello, first of all, thanks for the awesome work. I just installed Mosquito and it looks like Facebook component is not working for me. Same issue "forbidden". Other components seem to work fine.

Arin... the Facebook component needs an overhaul, I'll try to fix that ASAP.

hello, this is amazing tool, i would like to report that the facebook component is not working.

thanks

Thanks David, I'm aware of this , will fix it ASAP ;)

Hi,

I am trying to get Mosquito to work, but am hitting a snag with the geography components. When I plug in any type of location information (i.e. a String or lat/lon.). The error that returns says "1. Solution exception:Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

I have the file "Newtonsoft.Json.dll" in the folder with the Grasshopper components which I've installed. Do I need to move this somewhere else?

Thanks for any insight you might have!

Dear Edward,

Yes this happens on some computers..... Did you close Rhino completely and restart Rhino? if that did not then a solution is to drop the Newtonsoft.Json.dll into the same folder as your Rhino.exe. 

Try that out and let me know if it still does not work.

This update is great. The vector map tools are really captivating. I noticed there is no facebook component in the zipfile. I ended up installing that component from the previous version but it didn't seem to work with the example file. Am I missing something. 

Machinehistories: That is correct...the Facebook plugin needs to be updated.... I'll have some time next week to update it. In the meantime, that component has been removed and the previous version will not work either until the next update. 

Hello everybody

I would like to know how does the Twitter Query work in mosquito.

I found in the website of Twitter for developers that there are 3 kinds of search

1. When you are following an event that’s currently happening, you would be interested in search for recent tweets using the event hashtag:
2. When you want to know what tweets are coming from a specific location, with a specific language
3. When you want the most popular tweets of a specific user using a hashtag

 I have notices that when one searches for a hashtag or a specific event mosquito is less sensitive and gets less data than when one searches randomly. Then, with which of these options is mosquito working?

Thanks 

Dear David,

Could you provide me with a search example? Then I will have a good idea of what you are trying to achieve ;)

Thanks

Hey,

I downloaded the mosquito zip file from studiosmuts.com. I dropped in all the contents of the folder into my C:\Users\Lawrence Yun\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries folder, but when I launch rhino and grasshopper, I can't find the mosquito components anywhere. I copied over every single file in the folder, and I've even restarted my computer. How get the components to load? Grasshopper is not reporting any errors during the startup process. 

Dear Lawrence, which version of Rhino, Windows and GH are you using? not like this should make a difference, but I'm curious. I have not heard of anyone having the same problem.

An intern tried to install it these days but she didn't copy all the files and folder in the zipped file - just the GHAs. Lawrence, have you copied everything, including the folder?

Rafael is spot on, you need to copy absolutely everything into the "Components" folder.

Thanks for the response. I am running rhino 5 on windows 7 on the latest version of grasshopper. I don't seem to have a "components" folder. When I go to file>special folders>components folder, it takes me to the folder I mentioned in my previous post (I've got an image showing the contents of the folder including all the files from the zip file).

That is very strange.... which version of GH are you running?

New Serial For Vector Maps- You can renew the serial two ways:

1) Download Mosquito, install it again, restart Rhino and you should be good to go. 

Or.... 

2) Click on the little "gear icon" on the bottom left of the Mosquito Vector Maps component and enter this new serial for the Beta version: 

MXMUG-ZSGBI-FXBSS-TFNKB

I really enjoy all of the tools you've developed and I was wondering if there are any plans to implement the twitter streaming api. It would be great to search beyond the 100 return limit. 

The website for downloading seems to be down.. any ideas when it might be back up again?

Many Thanks! :)

 Paddyf123: The site is now back up and running…. sorry about that.

Hi Carson

Thank you for your effort in the development of the Mosquito tools.

I have downloaded and installed Mosquito but I have an issue that the facebook component is missing in the toolbar.  I have done the usual unblocking and installation process. Also did it twice. But no success.

I did have an ID conflict initially that was solved the same way as mentioned here: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/mosquito/forum/topics/mosquitos-...

Any ideas as to what can be the problem.

I am running Rhino 5 with GH 0.9.0076

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks from Cape Town.

Keep on making us Proudly South African

Hi Carson,

thank you for the plug-in.

In the GoogleDirections component, any possibility to implement the "transit" travel mode in addition to "walking-driving-bicycling"?

Vincenzo Montefusco: Sure, I can do that in the next update. I've been meaning to get around to that :)

Hey, Carson. I just download mosquito, but when I try to use vector map, it says expired, though it uses the serial you post recently. Is there a new serial? Thanks!

Hi Carson,

I'm trying to use the vector map component, but it keeps saying that the server is down. I've checked my internet connection and temporarily disabled my firewall incase it was blocking it, but its still not working.

Also I've updated the serial number so that's not an issue either. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Carson,
this is a great plugin, offering nice possibilities!
i have problems with the vector maps component. The project point i get when typing an adress is not the same as in OSM, it always a bit of (tried this using your example file)

can you shed some light on this?
any help would really be appreciated!

thanks,

max

Dear massimo78 , could you tell me which address you are looking at?

Hi Carson, is it available an updated serial? Thanks

Carson, 

I am having a projection difference of 33 meters. The grey lines are from the shape file which were exported to CAD. The red lines were extracted from the Vector Map component. What may be the source of the mismatch and how can I correct it?

Hi Carson
Regarding map projection, what is the map projection before ReProject?

Kota　Matsumoto it should be LatLon initially, which is not something you want to use if you want accurate representation (graphically) of roads. Re-Project then takes Lat Lon and rectifies this issue. Why do you ask? Is the an issue/bug?

Hi all, with relation to Vector Map, is anyone having a consistent "server down" error, or is it just me? I've tried server 2 as well but I've got the same error. I'm connected to to internet and I was able to get the Vector Maps component to run once, the first time after installing the plug-in. Thanks for any help with this

Hi Gustavo,

try turning off your windows firewall, this solved the issue for me a while ago.

Hi Massimo,

Thanks for your reply.

That was my first try. But it didn't change anything, and by working on it I noticed that when the radius for the circle is too small than the process starts, but it doesn't download anything. When the circle radius is big enough to encompass the two points then it returns a "server down" message as soon as I click on it.

Carson. Your Reverse GeoCoding component uses a google API?

Hi All, I tried to use the EXIF reader but I am getting the following error: 1. Solution exception:An item with the same key has already been added.

If I point to an empty folder its fine, if i add images i immediately get the error. Any idea how I might get around this?

That is strange, could you post your definition? (GH File) and a zipped example image?

Hi Carson,

There was not much to the definition. It was just your EXIF reader, a folder and a single image, see below:

If there is no image in the source folder:

And if I put an image into the folder i get:

looking at the above, can you see anything wrong?

Is it possible it requires a plugin or similar which I dont have installed?

Thanks
Lyndon

And the photo:

I had to re-size in photoshop as it was too large to upload. Presume this wont cause any issues? (I was trying to read the EXIF off the original image).

Cheers

Lyndon

PHOT.zip

Well now,

Strange enough - after shrinking the photo using photoshop it is now being read by the EXIF reader...

Original size was 10.2mb, after resize its down to 2.97mb. Could the image size have something to do with it?

Cheers

I want to know the latest serial code

Serial Update:

This is valid until May 1st 2018:

HZFWH-GBFJZ-LDBBH-SMMGI

aprey yes the plugin is working. Are you sure you are not blocking the connection with a Firewall or something similar?
