llowing for higher skyline and construction areas along public transportation corridors. Up until now, neighborhoods once characterized by two-story houses, gardens and ground- floor open shopfront programs, have been completely transformed by the introduction of fortressed monolithic residential and office towers, which lack any sort of urban street life.
The new master-plan, however, now requires buildings to have an open street façade to accommodate multiple programs. Led by tutors from UNStudio (www.unstudio.com), the AA Visiting School São Paulo will address the changes being prescribed by the new masterplan through the redefinition of the tower typology in the extending of the ground of street culture, green landscapes and ecological mediation along the vertical axis of these buildings. For this, the workshop will teach advanced digital design and fabrication techniques to explore a series of novel differentiating structural and environmental organizations in the redefinition of the São Paulo skyscraper.

angel but when it comes to material behavior, stresses, surface tension i think that "our" tools are still no complex and powerful enough - and like i said i didn't really see the benefit in the work of my friend form the digital experiment.
so i think the question is is there a benefit from your digital experiment or do you rather stick to the physical experiment.

V1 - A single 'suLoop' component doing 400 'SUnion' operations (20 X 20): 11.6 minutes
V2 - Two phases: 5 X 10 in phase one and 2 X 4 in phase 2, 58 'SUnions' total: ~88 seconds combined

Again, these Profiler benchmarks don't reflect the whole picture, and might be affected by other things I was doing on the laptop while the code was running.…

and then I saw under Application that resources are managed by 'Icon and manifest'.
That can also be set as 'Resource file', but then a file path is required.
Is 'Icon and manifest' OK, or have I to set thing differently ?
Also, in the class code I inserted the following:
( I saw it mentioned here in the forum )
protected override Bitmap Icon { get { return Resources.colour; } }
( colour.png is the image file's name )
but VS gives me an error, saying:
Error 1 The name 'Resources' does not exist in the current context C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 5 Evaluation\gh\plug-ins\ColourRhOb\Class1.cs 88 26 ColourRhOb
Did I miss a reference in the code ? Here they are:
using System;using System.Drawing;using System.Collections.Generic;using Grasshopper.Kernel;using Grasshopper.Kernel.Types;using Rhino;using Rhino.DocObjects;using Rhino.Geometry;
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks

a value.
In this case it will be between position 86 and 87 where the x value of a point jumps from 2.32... to -6.04... (see inside red rectangle @ attached image).
Idea so far is:
1) Decompose the list into x,y,z
2) get just the x values in one list
3) compare all values in a kind loop.
4) if value difference is more that let's say 1.0 - get the index
5) split list at that index.
My question: How to do that without looping?
I would be very thankful is someone could give me a hint.
Best, Boris.

ut only one list of indices(i).
Equal numbers of lists of items and indices.
Which I think probably covers 99% of usage. However for the optimizations to kick in the wrap input has to be either 1 value, or a single list of values, or equally many lists of values as the i input.
I can't just upload the maths.gha file for you to test as this optimization required a change in grasshopper.dll (I needed a way to inform the component base class to stop to try and solve it for every item in (i) whenever I treat the (i) input as a datatree. I can send you an official installer later though (after lots and lots of internal testing) so you can see if it works for you.

cided to expose the real-thing (something that is under construction these days, a "bit" bigger than the "demo" examples provided up to this point - around 25K m2). This means a more complex definition (a "bit"). The real thing is not made with GH.
4. Membranes are treated with 2 ways: Kangaroo (bad news: you receive a mesh that is anathema for shop-drawing level studies). MinSurf + trim (nurbs on hand but with the obvious disadvantages as regards "relaxing" the other components - more code, less time for windsurfing)
5. Puzzle: do you know that big "umbrella" thing made recently in Saudi Arabia? (colossally big membranes that ...er... hmm..."fold" - 1M times the size of an umbrella). Never heard about that? Shame I must say, he he.

t worth looking at it seems.
The whole "specification tree" a la Catia where there is a clear child parent hierarchy of grasshopper components would, I agree be great. The ability for constraint based modelling is also great.
However, grasshopper is not a true constraint based parametric modeler like CATIA.
It is also a generative algorithm editor and really shouldn't be compared to tools like CATIA. It could be argued its primary purpose is as a means of providing a visual scripting alternative to traditional text based scripts. I would also argue Grasshopepr itself is very flexible in providing a bespoke blank canvas to set up work flows between different tools such as Catia/excel. This is something I see no other solution out there that can do this.
I love CATIA but however great it is, it is an extremely heavy and unfocussed piece of software. Until Dassault take it seriously as an alternative to REVIT and produce a light-weight version, its dead in the water as regards realistic implementation in the AEC world. 99% of the work benches you don't need for AEC work. It is never going to take off.…
