nite a zillion of "solids" (closed polysurfaces in Rhino speech) you need a decent solid CAD app. Rhino is a surface modeller ... meaning that you should narrow your search towards the right girl.
3. Personally I work with Microstation (same 3d core engine as Siemens/NX [ParaSolids]) and CATIA/NX. The difference in speed for doing things like these ... well ... find a friend who works with any of these and experience it first hand. …
sarrollo de proyectos basados en los flujos del entorno. Se enseñan los conceptos de
programación orientada a objetos para que los asistentes puedan entender los diferentes
lenguajes de POO. Se hace una introducción a Rhinoscript, se analizan los puntos en común con
Grasshopper y los otros lenguajes de programación. Se reflexiona sobre el punto de unión entre
los flujos del contexto y el código de un programa o script tomando como ejemplo el código del
software que estamos desarrollando y que nos ha servido para desarrollar proyectos. Usamos
durante el curso mayormente dos herramientas para materializar la teoría en ejemplos:
Grasshopper y Rhinoceros. Usamos estas herramientas, por considerarlas muy didácticas para
que los Arquitectos y Diseñadores comprendan los conceptos de programación orientada a
objetos y se desenvuelvan adecuadamente en el diseño paramétrico

2. Trad AEC BIM apps (AECOSim - my favorite, Revit - no thanks, Allplan - no thanks) use RPC cells for similar tasks (an RPC cell is in fact a "DataTree" of images). In the past I did several figure animations (I'm not doing this any more: boring to the max):

3. Maya of course does everything (it's a unique amalgam of mesh and nurbs tools), but is totally unsuitable for AEC work.

So, assuming that you are in the AEC bandwagon, your options are:
a. AECOSim as the total "umbrella" for AEC matters.
b. MODO as the most innovative app out there.
c. Quest3D as the best VR app out there.…
it within the same smart umbrella? Or put it differently: is it worthy to exploit/consider/evaluate GH methods and development orientations that could "approximate" Utopia?
Let's split the case into segments:
The parametric part thing (although critical) is complex and rather beyond the scope of GH. Affects Rhino far more than GH. That said Microstation has 3 levels for doing this (but forget Microstation and/or Gen Comp).
So for a start we can focus in GH acting as a "composer" in 3D place of all the required (hopefully real) parts for the job. Parts must be nested AND readable as such by an external AEC app.
I'll post here (soon I do hope) all the parts that are required for assembling this. I mean individual static "blocks" that we assume (wrongly) that remain static: I mean we presuppose that the whole GH geometry is fixed (thus this is really a smart sketch of some sort) and no further changes are on schedule (that MAY affect parts).
That said I prefer an incomplete Utopia (one thing that "does" it all, or it thinks that does it) than a myriad of individual apps that take input one from the other and promise the Holly Grail (and/or delivering it). The core reason that I use Microstation as my basic platform is exactly that (obviously with a certain price to pay: bugs, shortcomings, wrong concepts in places etc etc etc).

otherwise I'd get the img and threeD text strings coming in as inputs/outputs (see below)
2. I could use dropbox but I had to repalce https://dropbox.com/ with https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/ and delete the "?dl=0" from the end of the link . Supposedly this creates a "directly downloadable file". It's also the format from the DE sample file.
3. The ftp hosting (from Tasos) worked for my images but not for my json files.
I'd be curious to see if anyone else has struggled loading json files that are hosted on an ftp site. I'd prefer the ftp method to dropbox because copying dropbox links is tedious.
…
lines, dedicated MCAD apps, BIM apps, team work AND elevators as well: if you design something "variable" and then attempt to service it via a "static way" (Revit) you'll discover that you are wasting your time. I can list you a lot of WOW towers that failed on that (elevator) matter ... but this wouldn't be polite for the designers: so let's continue.
2. The other critical thing is the system that does the skin: since "liquid" is the new WOW (it shouldn't) the task of "faceting" a facade and doing it with a system that doesn't leak (in the long term), doesn't pop the panels out of the frames and it doesn't cost the GNP of Nigeria ... well ... is not that simple.
3. It's a very common mistake for some future Architect to "skip" (even mentally) "trivial" matters like these ... but if you get used on this type of thinking you'll gonna pay a heavy price (as an Architect).
So my advise is: whilst you are after "form(s)" sketch frantically the nuts and bits of that form (not to mention ... er ... hmm... the elevators, he he).

which almost works...
I have 5 integer values in one string:
- When my input is the string "(25,0,0,0,175)" it is not assigned at all
- when my input is the string "25,0,0,0,175" it is assigned as 25000175 :)
- when my input is the string "25|0|0|0|175" it is assigned as 191 which is completely confusing :)
Can anyone point me into correct syntax of input string to be correctly parsed as a set of integers? I'm accessing Rhino+GH from external app so I can format the input in any appropriate way, yet I cannot directly modify the GH script that uses these Integer Parameters as a way to handle input.
Regards,
Boris…
formance issue.
Reasons why I don't want to change the Integer parameter:
1) what about Number, and String, and Boolean, and Point, and Vector, and Line... should they also display the value? Or is the integer parameter supposed to be different from all the others?
2) what if you have multiple values inside a parameter. Should it grow to display them all? Should it grow to display only the first ten? Should it automatically switch to Icon-display?
3) would value display be a fourth kind of display type (alongside Name, Icon and App-default)?

2. Even cooler would be to make some kind of presentation preview. (GH disappears, rhino goes to fullscreen mode with somehow integrated remote panel). I like to watch apps/scripts made with processing, where sliders are really minimalistic.
3. Presentation preview may be optionally locked with password.
I realize that GH isnt processing, but this would be nice addition.
