, 2013)
The most popular year was 2008 (5 responses)
Note: According to Wikipedia: "The first version of Grasshopper, called Explicit History at the time, was originally publicly released in September 2007." Interesting coincidence.
The response to question #2 by those that began before 2007 (How long did it take for you to feel comfortable with designing computationally?):
- Years
- Don't remember, but it felt like a natural way to relate to cad.
- After a few projects
- A month.
Compared to some of the responses of those that began since 2007:
- A month
- A few months
- After 6 weeks
- About 8 weeks
- Within my second design project with GH
- five to six months
- after 1 years of self learning + over 2 years of multiple projects and continuous self learning = Computation skill is comfortable but Computational Design can not be comfortable, Crazy learning curve.
There is much diversity, but some patterns begin to emerge.
Looking forward to more responses!…
cs/numpy-for-iron-python-wit... ) also fails to allow numpy import:
Numpy and Scipy are in directories here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages\
This is all a sad joke, taking a full day so far. Rhino just sort of sucks for serious work. There's no way I can offer any Numpy/Scipy scripts to clients this way, just impossible. Rhino/Grasshopper Python should come with this stuff, dear developers, or have a simple installer that just works. It comes with math already doesn't it? So why not Numpy and Scipy for serious users?
Upon restarting Rhino, it totally changes behavior and spits out a crazy error upon importing Numpy:
Message: The type initializer for 'NumpyDotNet.NpyCoreApi' threw an exception.Traceback: line 11, in <module>, "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\multiarray.py" line 6, in <module>, "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\__init__.py" line 155, in <module>, "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py" line 1, in <module>, "C:\Users\Nik\AppData\Local\Temp\TempScript.py"
The Grasshopper Python node editor gives the same error. Perhaps I can only import parts of Numpy using "from Numpy import XXXX"?…

and visualizing data for ENVI-Met 4 software. ENVI-met is a cutting edge software used to analyse microclimate interactions in urban environment. Tens of different analysis types can be performed on the chosen building context. From Mean radiant temperature and local Wind speed to CO2 concentration and Pollutant dispersion in the air. To generate the building context for Ladybug ENVI-met components, Antonello used Gismo:
An example similar to results in upper screenshots has been been attached below. To run it, Gismo, Ladybug and Human plugins need to be installed. To perform the ENVI-met analysis, download ENVI-met 4 Basic for free, and install it. Steps in the .gh example file have been labelled from 1 to 11. They mostly consist of just setting a boolean toggle to True. An exception to this are steps 6 (set the folder path of your ENVI-met application install folder), and 8 (running the ENVI-met simulation). Step 8 has been explained in detail in the photo attached below (step8.jpg). Special thanks to Antonello for developing and guidance on ENVI-met application and components! Post questions below if you have any issues!…

rid that works on the left and/or right edge of the components, so that it's easier to align them (similarly to the align functions that show up when multiple objects are selected)
Overall, I think we'd just need a basic grid for alignment, so whatever is easy/quick to implement might be good enough.
4) great, I didn't know about aliases - that pretty much answers my question.
Related to this, when I press F4 and search for a component, if the mouse/pen pointer is above the list, when I press enter Grasshopper will insert the component under the pointer, and not the one I have found with the keyboard. Am I missing something? In case could it be fixed?
As a side note, at the moment the keyboard focus is always on the Rhino Command Line. Would it be possible to optionally change the focus when the Grasshopper window is active so that we can insert new components just by typing, without pressing F4 or doubleclicking? I just find myself constantly using the keyboard to insert components, so that'd be a very nice timesaving.
5) Your idea would be great to manage complex panels and I think would be very nice to have.
However I was thinking of a different workflow, that could be useful - for instance - when working with several objects in Rhino that are referenced in Grasshopper as basis to create more complex objects.
For example: I have three different surfaces that are used to create framed grille elements. It would make sense to select these surfaces in Rhino and access to a panel that shows the element properties (for example frame dimensions, type of grille, etc.) - similarly to the property panel in Rhino.
Additionally, If I need to create a new grille element from another Rhino surface, I could just duplicate the RPC component along with the definition without the need of manually publishing all the parameters to a new RPC group. I hope this makes sense.
I understand this may not be an "urgent" feature, however I find that working with RPCs is very pleasant so I'd really like to see this feature expanded in some way :-)
6) Just perfect :-)
Thanks again David!

truss right?
2. Trusses are NOT made via lines ... they are made by real-life components like balls, rods and other mysterious (and maybe ominous, he he) paraphernalia.Good news for you: lot's of C# stuff around me that do that (but they are not exactly "entry-level").
3. PRIOR talking to ANY FEA/FIM thingy you need to address clash situations: I mean IF a given node is doable or not (because lines they don't rise clash issues ... but rods/struts/tubes/cones do). Good news for you: lot's of C# stuff around me that do that (but they are not exactly "entry-level").
4. Then you have to use some real-life (or at least some "realistic") components like the ones found in, say, a classic MERO "ball" system (and especially the adapter cones between the balls and the tubes). Or at least "some" of them that outline a "realistic" truss.Good news for you: see above.
5. Then you could validate the whole structure AND the parts VS structural loads: I mean there's absolutely no meaning "doing the whole" without taking into account the load bearing capability of the parts. For instance, say, what happens if the geometry (i.e. the topology) is "capable" but a given bolt is weak? That sort of stuff.
6. Now ... this is Academic ... but following the "abstract" way (I don't care about bolts because I'm a student)... this could teach you the entirely wrong way to use FEA/FIM for validating any structural ability of ... anything. And besides FEA/FIM is used for making the damn thing in the real-world ... and that involves (unfortunately) "some" bolts and nuts.
I can arrange a (rather long) Skype session for a demo of all the above ... but first I strongly advise to post here a finished thing (in terms of 3d component geometry) ... and THEN we can examine the whole strategy: what to export, how and especially what could be an "interactive" (both ways) protocol/strategy in order to give the green light for that truss.
BTW: Kangaroo is a physics engine and as such it's used as an abstract "shape" finder. I have no idea what Karamba does ... but always have in mind: BIM things ... are BIM things (meaning that without a serious BIM umbrella ... don't go out when it rains).…
ate):
1) go to: https://github.com/mostaphaRoudsari/ladybug/2) click on "clone or download"/Download ZIP
3) Download and extract the folder wherever you want on your machine
4) Open the folder and open "userObjects"
5) you'll see something like this
6) open Grasshopper/File/Special Folders/User Object Folder
7) Select and delete all Ladybug components
8) Drag all components of the point 5) into the canvas of Grasshopper wherever you want or inside the "User Object Folder"... it is the same thing.
And it should be fine.
Let me know if it works.

requiredKeys_ input of the "OSM Shapes" component. This is not the source of your problem though, but still I mentioned it in case you solve your issue, and afterwards want to use the "OSM Shapes" component.
The current (Win32Exception): WindowsError is the very same error message that you reported back in February.For some reason, your Windows is not allowing the Gismo "OSM Shapes" component to delete C:\MapWinGIS_installation_folder\gdal-data\osmconf.ini file.
You previously solved it by allowing the full access control to it, so I am not sure why it is not working now.Windows 10 seems to be the most overprotected operating system among other Windows versions, at least judging by the questions people asked so far.
Maybe you can try to turn off all the services which prevent users from changing certain files, like UAC or maybe even your antivirus?
Try this:
1) Close your Grasshopper and Rhino.2) Restart your PC3) When it boots up again, in your Start menu's search box type: "UAC". Click on it, and a new User Account Control Settings window will open. Set the bar on the left to "Never notify".4) Completely turn off your Antivirus.5) Check once again if your access control to the C:\MapWinGIS_installation_folder\gdal-data\osmconf.ini file is still set to the values you previously reported in this post.6) Right-click on "Rhino 5" icon and then choose: "Run as administrator".7) When Rhino boots up, run Grasshopper, and open the newest create_3dbuildings_trees_streets.gh file from here.If none of this helps, maybe you have some other application which deals with access to files on your system? Malware removal application or similar? Try turning it off too.…

e curve and uses the resulting surface/subdivisions to:
1. Smooth wall surface, varied via the Image Mapper
2. Segmented wall surface, varied via the Image Mapper
3. Populate the surface with spheres (with or without the "wall" surface)
4. Ribbed wall surface (Horizontal and / or Vertical)
5. Protrussions from the surface, driven by Image Sampler
6. Wall of Tubes, driven by Image Sampler
7. Gridded Web Surface
The options have to be enabled/disabled to achieve various results, but the idea is that this script permits a variety of looks, all in one script. See attachments at bottom.
I think this is a decent example file showing a variety of things that can be done using the Image Sampler Component in Grasshopper. This is a working version, so I am sure there are a lot better ways to achieve some of these effects. Hopefully, this will help some of you out and / or inspire some ew idea.
In the script, there is a User Object I downloaded from digitalsubstance. It is a self contained point attractor cluster, super cool, super fun. Link to the site is below.

If there is interest, I will update this post with an annotated version.

new component "OSM 3D roof"):
2) Simplified 3D roads can be created by using the network of OSM polylines (through new component "OSM 3D road"):
3) 3D forest.Up until now, Gismo supported generating a single 3d tree whenever such tree was present in openstreetmap.org database. Now it is possible to generate 3d trees in forest areas, by randomly positioning the 3d trees (through new component "OSM 3D forest"):
4) Boolean 3d shapes.Gismo's "OSM 3D" component generates shapes as parts: for example, if a building has irregular shapes across its height, they will all be created individually. Trying to merge them with Grasshopper's "Solid Union" component can sometimes fail.New Gismo "Rhino Boolean Union" components tries to overcome this issue by using a much better Rhino version of this command.
5) Library of common GIS color palettes (gradients).A single component containing 22 of the common color palettes used in GIS applications as ArcGIS and QGIS. For example: elevation, aspect, precipitation...
6) Url to location.Thanks to idea by Alex Ng, it is possible to extract location from a link of the following map websites: Openstreetmap, google maps, bing maps, wego.here, waze:
