    where can be down?

  • João Ventura Lopes

    beautiful...

  • Pirouz Nourian

    Welcome to the group. At the moment I'm working on a few minor technical issues. I think I will be able to make the whole package available for download within around two weeks. In the meantime, please provide me with your suggestions.

  • Pirouz Nourian

    A test edition of Cheetah will be released on Monday September 16. 

  • MARIO VERGARA

    any news on the release of that test edition?

    Hi everyone. Sorry for the delay. You can download the first version from the link above. Please let us know if you happen to encounter any bugs or other problems. 

  • Pirouz Nourian

    Is it working guys? :)

  • Petar Pejic

    excellent plugin. I am wondering if there is some open source place where I can find those maps (for Istanbul) to be more specific? Or you imagined for user to redraw curves inside rhino? Looking really interesting

  • Pirouz Nourian

    Hi, Petar. thanks for your comment. You can use the plugin Elk to use the maps available on OpenStreetMap directly in GH for Cheetah. 

  • Petar Pejic

    Yes, found it already. Thank you for kind reply

  • Nikita Gurav

    I am still not being able to download the plugin from the below mentioned site.

  • Nikita Gurav

    I need to explore the plugin at the earliest is it possible for someone to mail it to me. you can mail me at nikita.gurav16@gmail.com

    Hello

    does anyone knows why this error appears when I open Cheetah in Grasshopper (0.9.0056), with the supplied 3dm example file:

    Error (BC30456): 'epsilonequals' is not a member of 'Rhino.Geometry.Line'. (line 160)

    or

    Error (BC30456): 'epsilonequals' is not a member of 'Rhino.Geometry.Point3d'. (line 233)

    It seems not to work for me... :(

  • Pirouz Nourian

    Hi, these methods are for sure members of Rhinocommon (the library of methods behind Rhino and most of geometric operations in GH). Based on a similar case, I guess, most probably, you have a Rhino that is not updated recently. You can go to your Rhino settings (the yellow toothed wheel icon) and update your Rhino.

    Hi everyone!

    Is this file for plug-in>Cheetah_Pilot_New_Series_Urban_Data_Scope_F

    Thanks

  • Pirouz Nourian

    Yes. That is the first version of Cheetah as a set of user-object components. 

  • Igor Mitrić Lavovski

    Hi João Ventura Lopes , 

    Did you solve your error problem. Having the same issues!

  • Pirouz Nourian

    Hi, 

    If you receive these error messages: Error (BC30456): 'epsilonequals' is not a member of 'Rhino.Geometry.Point3d'. (line 233), this is an issue with updating your Rhino 5. You need to go to Rhino/options (the yellow toothed wheel) and check for updates. 

  • Igor Mitrić Lavovski

    Thanks Pirouz, 

    Its working....

  • Igor Mitrić Lavovski

    Hi Pirouz,

    Playing around with Cheetah.

    I failed to input a polylines into SplitNetwork direct from Elk, somehow is not making a branches then, and no coloring as Endefekt. So I need to bake it first every time...

    What does r ScriptVariable in SplitNetwork? is it percentage of 100 or multiply...?

    Second, cant get Block Measures cluster working.Somehow I think (probable nonsense) it does not likes numbers over 1000. 

    Can you maybe take a look!

    Singapore%20SpaceSyntax.3dm

    Elk%20Singapore.gh

    PS: Can I take a look inside of clusters :=)

  • Igor Mitrić Lavovski

    some help?

  • Pirouz Nourian

    Hi Igor,

    There was an issue with a new Grasshopper I guess. I fixed something and it is working fine now. ElkSingapore_PZN_Ed.gh

  • Igor Mitrić Lavovski

    Hi Pirouz, 

    Thanks for your time... It is working now!

  • Petar Pejic

    Hi, could you elaborate what is the difference between proximity and vicinity in your definition? As far as I know they mean the same thing.

  • Igor Mitrić Lavovski

    hi Petar, 

    //I found this as nice explanation.


    'Vicinity' means 'in the general area of'. For instance: 

    "The police were in the vicinity when the bank was being robbed. They arrived before the robber could escape." 
    "I was in the vicinity and decided to drop by for a visit. 

    'Proximity' refers to the closeness of 2 people or things in relation to each other: 

    "He was in close proximity to the figurine when it fell off the shelf." 
    "Their proximity to the explosion led the police to believe that they were involved."

  • Petar Pejic

    Thank you for your kind reply.. Did anyone else have trouble with terrain? When I set it to include terrain in calculation, nothing happens, all calculation disappear.

  • Petar Pejic

    Also, some explanation could be useful for polycentricDistribution component. What it calculates exactly? And how it is taking into account terrain surface? I would like to know the logic of including terrain surface into calculation, and how it affects results? 

  • Petar Pejic

    I found a problem with terrain: When terrain is included following outputs report null as outcome: proximity, proxi_col, vicinity, Vici_Color. As a result of that non of the latter procedures is executed.

    Hi there,

    can you tell me where i can download cheetah from, all i can acces is a gh file at this link: https://sites.google.com/site/pirouznourian/configurbanist

    Cheers!

  • Petar Pejic

    Cheetah is in that file. Components are designed as clusers

  • Samane

    Hi Petar,

    In Cheetah, proximity measure indicates how close one is to all points of interest at the same time and vicinity measure indicates how close one is to any of them. For example, you might want to be close to one of the supermarkets (as a point of interest) in your area but you might want to be close to city center and station at the same time.

    Cheetah is meant for pedestrian accessibility analyses. Therefore, when you take a topographic terrain into account, all the calculation will be done considering walking impedance. Here you can find a video, in which Pirouz explains more about it.

    About your problem with a topographic surface, make sure that:

    _ your surface is on top of your network

    _your surface is converted to mesh (you can easily do it by using Mesh Brep component)

     _ It is bigger than your network such that it covers the entire network

    _there is no intersection between the surface and your network.

    I would suggest checking its location on front, right and top views.

    Cheers,
