Hello Dirk. First of all I like to say thank you for all your precious help here in the forum. I consider my self very new to GH and parametric modeling but I've started to use it in real projetcs. I've being experimenting with GH and generative components from Bentley. I came to the conclusion that I really need to start scripting more custom solutions. I was wondering if you can help me by pointing me to some sources where i can learn from 0 vb.net scripting. I'll appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Hello Dirk, thanks for your comments. I will definetly start with the GH primer 2. Regarding Generative components. I`ve jus starting to use it and your right is not vry intuitive and very heavy as a sofware. I`ll give it a try to vb.net see if I can get something out of it.
Hi Dirk, Thanks for the response and note. Always nice to hear that the plug-in looks worthy to others.
I saw your ecotect project on the dotNet forum, and sounds great. Of course I'm happy to offer any advice or suggestions that you might seek. I know in our Expedition office there is a push to develop more in that area ourselves, but at the moment I don't know much in the way of details for it. You'll also find the rhino.plug-ins newsgroup a worthwhile resource for assistance.
If you've programmed with SpaceGass, you'll probably know the way my plug-in interfaces with them. I've not used COM interop type interaction yet, not being a fan of behind the scene blackbox links. By interacting in text file formats, it's human readable and controlable. The parsing of different formats is time consuming, but easy enough all the same. I use xml myself for things like option saving and license files, much easier than primitive text parsing.
There's a number of Arup offices using the plug-ins around the world, but I haven't heard from the Sydney office (not to say they aren't using them). If you don't mind, I might send those guys an email. I have a number of friends at many of the other offices, and worked on the MCG as a joint venture with their Melbourne office, but don't personally know of any Sydney staff.
So, don't suppose I've been of much help yet with your ecotect work, but I'll keep an eye on your post or feel free to send a comment/email anytime.
