cussions on the forum about this topic. You simply need to add one more hour (25 hours) to see 24 hours on sun-path.
2. When you reduce the mesh density there are cases that test point falls behind the mesh face which will get no radiation. To avoid this issue you need to increase _distanceFromBase.
Hope it helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I change paramenters in GH sliders I see the progress in rhino with 4/5 seconds lag.
I think it is not an hardware issue, this is my configuration
Mainboard SuperMicro
Dual CPU Xeon x5650 (24 total core)
12GB DDRIII ECC
Hdd velociraptor 300Gb
Vga Nvidia Quadro FX3800
Did you know what can I do to have some parformance increase
Sorry for bad english
Thank you in advance…
ocessed once Grasshopper is done with whatever it's doing now.
3) Grasshopper tells the Slider object that the mouse moved and the slider works out the new value as implied by the new cursor position.
4) The slider then expires itself and its dependencies ([VB Step 1] in this case, but there can be any number of dependent objects).
5) When [VB Step 1] is expired by the slider, it will in turn expire its dependencies (VB Step 2), and so on, recursively until all indirect dependencies of the slider have been expired.
6) When the expiration shockwave has subsided, runtime control is returned to the slider object, which tells the parent document that stuff has changed and that a new solution is much sought after.
7) The Document class then iterates over all its objects (they are stored in View order, not from left to right), solving each one in turn. (Assuming the object needs solving, but since in your example ALL objects will be expired by a slider change, I shall assume that here).
8) It's hard to tell which object will get triggered first. You'd have to superimpose them in order to see which one is visually the bottom-most object, but let's assume for purposes of completeness that it's the [VB Step 1] object which is solved first.
9) [VB Step 1] is triggered by the document, which causes it to collect all the input data.
10) The input parameter [x] is asked to collect all its data, which in turn will trigger the Slider to solve itself (it got expired in step 4 remember?). This is not a tricky operation, it merely copies the slider value into the slider data structure and shouts "DONE!".
11) [x] then collects the number, stores it into its own data structure and returns priority to the [VB Step 1] object.
12) [VB Step 1] now has sufficient data to get started, so it will trigger the script inside of it. When the script completes, the component is all ready and it will tell the parent document it can move on to the next object (the iteration loop from step 7).
13) Let us assume that the slider object is next on the list, but since it has already been solved (it was solved because [VB Step 1] needed the value) it can be skipped right away, which leaves us with the last object in the document which is still unsolved.
14) [VB Step 2] will be triggered by the document in very much the same way as [VB Step 1] was triggered in step 9. It will also start by collecting all input data.
15) Since all the input data for [VB Step 2] is either defined locally or provided by an object which has already been solved, this process is now swift and simple.
16) Upon collecting all data and running the user script, the component will surrender priority and the document becomes active again.
17) The document triggers a redraw of the Grasshopper Canvas and the Rhino viewports and then surrenders priority again and so on and so forth all the way up the hierarchy until Grasshopper becomes idle again.
[end boring]
Pretty involved for a small 3-component setup, but there you have it.
To answer somewhat more directly your questions:
- The order in which objects are solved is the same as the order in which they are drawn. This is only the case at present, this behaviour may change in the future.
- Adding a delay will not solve anything, since the execution of all components is serial, not parallel. Adding a delay simply means putting everything on hold for N milliseconds.
- [VB Step 1] MUST be solved prior to [VB Step 2] because otherwise there'd be no data to travel from [GO] to [Activate]. The only tricky part here is that sometimes [VB Step 1] will be solved as part of the process of [VB Step 2], while at other times it may be solved purely on its own merits. This should not make a difference to you as it does not affect the order in which your scripts are called.

ger at the scale of rooms, walls and atria, but that of cells, grains and vapour droplets. Rather than the flow of people, services, or construction schedules, the focus becomes the flow of light, vapour, molecular vibrations and growth schedules: design from the inside out.
The sg2012 challenge, Material Intensities, is intended to dissolve our notion of the built environment as inert constructions enclosing physically sealed spaces. Spaces and boundaries are abundant with vibration, fluctuating intensities, shifting gradients and flows. The materials that define them are in a continual state of becoming: a dance of energy and information.Material potential is defined by multiple properties: acoustical, chemical, electrical, environmental, magnetic, manufacturing, mechanical, optical, radiological, sensorial, and thermal. The challenge for sg2012 Material Intensities is to consider material economy when creating environments, micro-climates and contexts congenial for social interaction, activities and organisation. This challenge calls for design innovation and dialogue between disciplines and responsibilities.sg2010 Working Prototypes strove to emancipate digital design from the hard drive by moving from the virtual to the actual in wrestling with the tangible world of physical fabrication. sg2011 Building the Invisible focused on informing digital design with real world data. sg2012 Material Intensities strives to energise our digital prototypes and infuse them with material behaviour. They have the potential to become rich simulations informed by the material dynamics, chemical composition, energy flows, force fields and environmental conditions that feed back into the design process.

sg2012 take place at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, in upstate New York from 19-24 March 2012. The Workshop and Conference will be a gathering of the global community of innovators and pioneers in the fields of architecture, design and engineering.
The event will be in two parts, a four day Workshop 19-22 March, and a public conference beginning with Talkshop 23 March, followed by a Symposium 24 March. The event follows the format of the highly successful preceding events sg2010 Barcelona and sg2011 Copenhagen.…
sponding path, except for the surfaces (24 lists of 2) in the corresponding list.
E.g.
{0;0;0} would be intersected with {0;0;1-5}
{0;0;1} intersected with {0;0;0 and 2-5}
Usually I've just replicated the data and culled/indexed each one using the series component, but since I'm dealing with multiple items per list it's been a bit more complicated.
Sorry for the slightly confusing wording
…
Into the 'exposure mesh' imput, I've got a mesh with 30 faces. Into the 'obstructing geo' input I've got a data structure {[0-1]} containing lists of geometry to use as obstructions. Currently I have 2 branches going in here while i'm testing it.
Going into the 'ray direction' input is a similar data structure containing lists of vectors {[0-11]} (one branch for each month, each branch has multiple items) going in here.
If I set the exposure component to shortest or longest list, it gives out 12 branches with 30 items in each branch (for each mesh vertex).
If I set the component to 'cross multiply', it gives out 24 branches with 30 items in each. However, the 24 branches simply go from {0} to {23} which means that I can't separate out the results from the two sets of obstructing geometry.
Is it possible to a) get the exposure component to give the correct output, or b) reassemble the output into a {[0-1];[0-11]} format?
Thank you for your help! Steven…

rs for nothing today so it is more interesting if your workspace allows it).
- avoids you to switch windows (between Rhino/GH and this wonderful forum for exemple, but also useful for excel, visual studio, ecotect, arduino and all the other programs you can run in parralell of GH)
Test it for a day, you will surely see the gain of time.
As I don't have enough space at home to have multi-screens, I bought a KVM and linked it to 4 of my other computers, including a 14" laptop to work with GH. With this switch you can do kind of multi-multi screen, all you have to do is change the channel, it's very useful too.…
