g a single design and you wish the others to be updated to that view also? There's a trade off here as we would need an extra button on the viewport (that we're trying to keep uncluttered as best we can)... I think it wouldn't be too bad. I'll put it on the enhancement list on git.
2) One of the best things about meshes in wpf is the simplicity... one of the worst things is lack of vertex shading which is a real pain. Getting into OpenGL, DirectX, etc. is not going to happen with the spare time I currently have, but what you suggest is quite a nice compromise (i.e. one colour per mesh). I'm still hoping I can figure a method to get vertex shading with wpf (stackoverflow shows others with similar struggles!), although it looks very tricky. We are looking into it!
3) It is, and yes this is a big problem when the mapping between genotype and phenotype is indirect (for example, the gh definition contains a random component or something). You can compare on the phenotype as you suggest, but this takes computational effort, such as some form of shape analysis. One hope is to compare genotype and phenotype 'solution' spaces (and thus give a measure of directness). On the TODO list!
4) Hmmm, not thought of that one. Good idea, a kind of import design into population. Thanks! That could work nicely.
5) Current idea is to maybe save a population history file, which would as you suggest act like a state manager of sorts. The data structure is quite complex in order to future proof the history approach, but we think we have a nice way of doing it and will be in the next release.
Thanks again for your feedback Chris, its much appreciated.
Best wishes,
John.
PS: What is that mesh shape you have there? Curious.

cooling energy" variable tangled with other output variables in one line in the idf file:
1. current code of line 2314 andd 2315:
2. current output variable section in the idf file:
3. revised code with the "\n" new line symbol added:
4. correct IDF file with the cooling loads outpu variable in a separate line:
5. cooling loads can now be correctly calculated and read:
Please kindly verify if this is the source of issue, and if this is the case, I'd appreciate if the current runEP component can be updated.
Thanks.

3. However, the readEPSrfResult component cannot recognize this variable:
4. Nevertheless, for unknown strange reason, I'm unable to reproduce the above warning for this test file later, and it seems that this variable can be read by the readEPSrfResult component, for now....
5. I got the same warning in other GH file I'm testing which included the surface irradiance as output variable. So, I'm not sure why the warning is not consistent across different files ...
Appreciate if you can kindly advise.

have some spare time please fill in my 3D Printing Open Survey - If you could make almost anything, what would it be ? Updated results are publicly available after completing questionnaire (Please press "Wyślij" - Send button and "Wyniki ankiety" - Results button at the end). This survey will be used to evaluate demand for 3d printing services globally. It consist of 30 questions about: - open-source 3d printers - future of additive manufacturing - 3d printing services - ecology in 3d printing - copyright issues and 3d printing Three example questions: 2. Which of the following 3d printing applications is the most interesting? * - Things personalization - Printing food - Attempts to print structures resembles in functioning living tissues or blood vessels - Creating impossible or difficult to create by using conventional technology things - Printing rooms or buildings on earth/moon - Printing chemical compounds (for example drugs) - Using in renewable energy sources - Printing parts and/or mechanical vehicles 3 . Have you ever heard about cheap DIY 3D Printers (for example RepRap, PrintrBot, MakiBox A6) ? * DIY - Do It Yourself - Yes - No 4 . When 3D Printers will become one of the typical household appliances ? * - After 5 years - After 10 years - After 15 years - After 20 years or later - Never - I don't know Feel free to ask questions!…

stand everything so far but I will nevertheless try to give some feedback and then extend this list once oi gained more knowledge about it.
1) It would be nice if you could set and save a view vector for all models at the same time. that would make the comparison a lot easier because every model has different interesting views
2) Color could be helpful i think. Would it be possible to read the mesh vertex color values? If that not straight forward maybe the component could have another input which takes a list of colors for each mesh you input in the geometry input.
3) Is the closeness of two outcomes only computed by the closeness of the genes? Sometimes you have very ruff parameter spaces where a little shift in the genes can make quite big changes in the outcome. Would it be possible to compute closeness or similarity of two outcomes based on the outcome itself? For example compare the resulting meshes to each other?
4) It would be also great if you could replace a certain outcome with a solution that you manually generated by altering the sliders. That would be also a way to influence the direction.
5) I see that you are still working on the history. It would be great if one could use biomorpher as well to store you favorite versions of a definition. Something like a more advanced version of the state manager where you can also see the states and crossbreed them easily.
Best, Chris

complicated than it seems as I have an event and a subscriber method receiving data from a serial port.
In the code below, the strings received within myReceivedLines appear when connecting with the serial port (when connecttodevice is true). However they disapear when I launch another command (when homeallis true).
As you recommended in your reply, I have added the field called myReceivedLineswithin the class so that I could use the method String.Add() to all the feedback received and commands sent.
Why does the feedback dispear when a command is sent? Is the string going to myReceivedLine disappearing because they happen within a subscriber method or is it related to the DA.SetDataList() method used to assign myReceivedLinesto the output?
Many thanks!
