(http://www.food4rhino.com/app/quelea-agent-based-design-grasshopper) take like 40 seconds when the toggle activates to go from one end of the ramp to another.
With proximity 3d i'm analyzing each instance the agents are closer than x units. In picture 3 we can see that in 212 instances the agent are closer than those x units.
Finally all the genes that controll the ramps are connected to the G of octopus component and one of the conflicting objectives connected to the O of octopus component is the number of instance quelea agents get close.
So the thing I need is to iterate the ramps controling the genes with octopus but activating the boolean toggle (quelea run) each time the ramps are modified so the agents take 40 seconds to perambulate the environment, analyze the instance they get close and let octopus iterate again searching for a optimized environment.

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.

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!

If the above are correct then I am afraid there is no solid answer, data matching (how to modify 2 groups of data so that they work together) can be done in many ways and no one is suitable for every case.
For example in the [move] component in your definition you have the G input receiving 27 lists with 54 lines each (1458 lines) and you want to move these lines in Z direction. Depending on how you want to move them it could make sense to have T input receiving:
a. One vector (this would move all the lines by this vector)
b. 54 vectors (this would move the first line of each list by the first vector, the second line of each list by the second vector, ...... , the last line of each list by the last vector)
c. 27 vectors grafted so that the paths match (this would move the first list of lines by the first vector, the second list of lines by the second vector, ...... , the last list of lines by the last vector)
d. 27 lists with 54 vectors each (1458 vectors). This way each line will move by the corresponding vector.
So, as you can see there is not a global solution.
In order to be able to decide how to format your data you must always be aware of what your existing data structure means. For example, in the above case, you have your lines in the format {A;B;}N. Now A has 6 values (0 to 5) which is the number of your original surfaces. B has various values because it is the number of edges that each surface had(deconstruct Brep component). Finally N (the number of items in each list) is 54 because you offseted each edge 54 times (offset component).
So in order to decide which of the above cases suits you best you must have these things in mind.
In general some useful components for data matching are: [tree statistics] [list length] [repeat data] [graft] [simplify] and [flatten] and of course many more, depending on the case...
But in order to use these properly you must first study about data trees and how they work.....
Hope this helped a bit and please post back if you need some help into a specific part of your definition.…

I have diagonals (bracings) which can buckle in these "non-regular" directions too, and they do. If I could add those values then in the Karamba model I could assign specific buckling scenarios..... I can see another challenge which will be at the ModifyElement component, I will not be able to choose these buckling lengths, in these directions.
Do you think this functionality can be added within short, or should I try to find another way to model these members?

ou will see all of the available components on a ribbon at once so there is no need to keep clicking drop down menus.
It's all about discoverability with GH. What if you're a beginner and don't know about the Create Facility (dbl click canvas) how can you find Extr?
Even if you hover over every component or use the drop down lists you will not see the name Extr appear anywhere.
Sure it makes sense that Extr is short for Extrude but it's also the Nick Name of Extrude to Point component
So you can easily miss the fact that one has a Distance Input verses a Point Input.
I think I made the move to Icons around about the move from version 0.5 to 0.6, possibly before. I initially thought that I would go back to text because I loved the mono chromatic look of the text but I soon realised that Icons were the way forward. The greatest benefit is speed. You don't need to digest and decipher every component (which is written 90 degrees to the norm).
I'm not saying you should move to Icons forthwith but at least consider that once you have a better knowledge and understanding of GH, Icons will set you free.
My top ten tips that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to better themselves with GH.
1) Turn on Draw Icons
2) Turn on Draw Fancy Wires
3) Turn on Obscure Components
4) Use the Create Facility like a Command Line eg "Slider=-1<0.75<2" or "Shiftlist=-1"
5) Use Component Aliases to customise your use of the Create Facility eg giving the Point XYZ component an alias of XYZ will bring it up as the first option on the Create Facility as opposed to the other possibilities.
6) Try to answer other people's questions even if it's not relevant to your own area. By looking into solving a problem outside of your comfort zone and then posting your results it is very rewarding but it also lets you see the other approaches that get posted in a new light.
7) Take the time to understand Data/Path structures.
8) Buy a second monitor - There is nothing that can compare to real estate when working in Grasshopper.
9) Read Rajaa Issa's Essential Mathematics
10) Pick a panel in a tab on the ribbon and get to know every component inside and out and then move on. Start with the Sets Tab > List Panel…
