ts (Rhino 6 and everything that came after the plugin itself was written).When I tested it, it had some issues with a large number of lines and if parameters weren't carefully tuned it failed to produce consistent meshes.If some of you has time and skills on their hands, there is the source code available on GitHub (link is in the description). For personal use, time ago I updated a definition by David Stasiuk to make nodes and beams, based on 3D Convex Hull component. You can still find it here:https://www.grasshopper3d.com/xn/detail/2985220:Comment:1745216Warning: in Rhino 6 the Starling Convex Hull component doesn't seem to work well, you can use the 3D Convex Hull from the MeshEdit plugin instead (https://www.food4rhino.com/app/meshedit - just substitute the 3D Convex Hull component in the definition and it should work fine).…
ter proofing and er ... the obvious).
However the "assembly" must comply with some part naming system as found in BIM apps (my core app is AECOSim) and obviously with CSI type of specs and the likes. I fact I have a complete "app" that does this ... but (a) is strictly internal, (b) is written for AECOSim/Generative Components by yours truly.
Graphics is also a serious issue and especially combined ones: for instance imagine someone naive enough to use polystyrene [hence the vapor barrier] to do this type of disastrous roofing (meaning that DP is one thing, water absorption is another animal much much more important than DP itself > polystyrene absorbs all the condensate > Armageddon > Adios Amigos):
By combined I mean this "typical" scenario as well:

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.

can use cross reference component (search on forum for more info on this).
For intersection part you can use BullAnt plugin: http://www.food4rhino.com/app/bullant or you can use "split surface" between your surfaces and all the curves but it is a lot more slower...
for the attractor thing i dont understand what you want, but once you get your close polylines, you can get "control points" and use some attractor tutorial on that and then reconstruct those polylines.

Crystallon is an open source project for creating lattice structures using Rhino and Grasshopper3D. The goal is to generate lattice structures within Rhino’s design environment without exporting t
omponents and Revit means Dynamo.
Both are masterminded by the very same fella (Robert Aish: an ex Bentley R&D head, then Autodesk paid more [life sucks]).
AECOSim eats Revit for breakfast but has a far steeper learning curve ... meaning that the masses would opt for Revit.…

2. Modelo now supports VR! check out this video:
3. We've added a specular option in the rendering settings. So now you can have your design rendered a little bit shinny-er.
4. There is also a "filters" option in this panel, with which you can get some interesting image post processing effects. We are expanding this filter library, if you have any suggestions, please let us know.
5. This one is very important and has been requested by our customers for a long time. Now when you upload a model, you can grab the reviews(3d comments, screenshots,sketches) from your previously uploaded model! This works really conveniently if you use Modelo for your design review/presentation, cause you don't have to recreate the same 3d anchor views every time you made some changes to your design.
6. Also, our developer API is almost ready, which means if anyone is interested in developing a grasshopper plugin that works with Modelo, they can!
There are some many other updates and bug fixes happened. I don't want to list all of them here. Definitely stay subscribed with our newsletter. Modelo is thrived to grow into a more comprehensive platform! If you have any good ideas about our platform, please do not hesitate to let me know!
Here is our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCufBShhLtUQepsit9ilI-AA

firefly, it inspired us to take it one step further and build a custom UI to control Rhino and replace the OSC app - since it was created originally for DJ's. We're not ready for a public release yet, but since this is the forum where the idea was inspired, I wanted to open up a beta to a few of you guys to try it out and get some feedback on what it's like to control a 3D CAD program from a multi-touch screen. We probably only have room for 10 or 20 people right now, as we have a limit to the number we can add, but if you're interested in trying it out, shoot me a message!Or post here, and we'll figure something out!Oleg.…
hnical University of Denmark, Israel Institute of Technology and Aarhus School of Architecture, TopOpt for Grasshopper provides a number of optimization methodologies that extends currently available methods based on the 99-line MATLAB code for basic mechanical topology optimization provided by prof. Ole Sigmund of DTU.
The current alpha-release features 2d topology optimization based on the interactive optimization app developed for iOS and Android; topology optimization of continuum structures with tension and compression prioritization; and dual material topology optimization for optimization of composite structures with materials of varying properties.
Interactive visualization, 3d-optimization and further methodological extensions will be included in coming updates…
-life fabrication issues ... then ... well ... that's the reason for the Skype.
2. In general I would say that exploiting parametric "arrangements" (in the broad sense) is less than 5% of the whole ... given the fact that in real-life there's a lot of other constrains. Again using Kim's IKEA note: for instance packaging (at least for the magnitude of IKEA's business) is rather more important than ANY smart of stupid design.
3. Reliable components VS Design/Manufacturing cost IS the ultimate "fitness" challenge: this involves bottom-top design disciplines (not doable with Rhino/GH by any means) and ... well... some top dog feature driven MCAD app. Most makers/designers use the cheapo alternatives (SolidWorks/Creo etc etc) and the results ... well .. you get what you've paid for, he he.
4. Why bottom-top may you ask? (and what means this anyway?) Well ... one "connecting node" that would been made 1Z times at the minimum cost possible is a 100 times more challenging task than designing a shelve system that uses that node. See for instance A LOT of IKEA solutions (i.e. the nuts and bolts of them) that are exceptionally flimsy, very badly designed and ... well ... suitable for 1 week's usage (but there's some others that are less faulty). On the other hand IKEA actually serves the ephemeral ... thus ... this MAY be intentional (recycle > buy > recycle > buy > ...).
I buy therefor I exist.
For instance a certain IKEA mold injected "multi join node" for a given series of shelves ... it would sustain less than 5 minutes "abuse" (in case that someone would attempt to "rearrange" things). Moral: reality and theory ARE not the same thing.
I could continue until the end of Time listing "aspects" of the whole puzzle related with production issues ... but for the moment I would conclude by the following:
GH is a good "general" purpose graphic editor and Rhino IS NOT a feature driven solid modelling app. If you combine these 2 ... you can easily outline what you can and what you can't (or shouldn't) do on that subject.…
