points that are just opposite of each other on each panel), while also getting rid of the points that are on the outer edges of the structure, how would I go about and do that?Would the best way be to use the "ClosestPoint" component, or is there a smarter way to build a definition that automatically pairs the needed points?Basically, I need to create a vector between the pair of points, so that I can begin working with connecting geometry.
I've attached Rhino file and Grasshopper definition.Any ideas or comments is much appreciated! I hope someone can help me out.Thanks,Claus …
planes created on each node to intersect each Brep (The planes are more than the Brep, so some planes might not intersect the Breps). The outcome for "Brep | Brep" does NOT give me 408 branches. It just gives me 3716 curves in 11,425 branches. I Basically want those outcome curves to be organize with their original surfaces so I can unroll them easily and associate them with their original surfaces for fabrication. But the outcome tree comes out a mess.I tried partition list. I tried to intersect the out-curves with the original Breps again in another step but nothing seems to work for me. I would really appreciate any help I can get. Thank you…
be done easier, but later on the geometry will change and therefore this seems the better option. But coming back to the problem
First, there were some problems concerning the zone, although it seems solved still the “runenergysimulation” gives the following warning:
1. The simulation has not run correctly because of this severe error:
** Severe ** UpdateZoneSizing: Cooling supply air temperature (calculated) within 2C of zone temperature
Do one of you know what went wrong? It probably will solve most of it.
Second, “set Zone Thresholds” gives the following warning:
1. Solution exception:global name 'maxHumidity_' is not defined
However, the component is missing the max humidity input on the list, has this to do something with the error?
All the components are up to date.
I hope it will be an easy fix.

ty lots as extrusions with their height depending on perimeter length. Then I added a 'Cull Duplicates' group to avoid properties that had duplicate 'Area' centroid points. That reduced the number of properties from 364 down to 331, though five of those have 'Area' values between 88 and 205, ten have values less than 500 while the average is ~1.3 million!
So the data is still suspect. Some appear to be nested inside of others? But using those 331 properties, I now find 32 that intersect the 'Zoning Districts'. But that's not the same as a list of properties that span two or more 'Zoning Districts'... Not having fun anymore. :)

orm of the model but when I try to add the piping to it, I get the message saying Windows has ran out of memory.
I am using Windows 7 and have tried going into the BCD as recommended here: http://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/memoryincrease but I was not able to run this command.
I have then tried to increase my virtual memory within Windows, even up to 30GB with no luck.
I'm pretty sure I'm doing something really wrong here but I really need to get this modelled ASAP for a portfolio submission.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

to select a period of time across the year, for example, every hour from January 1 to June 30.
I currently use DOY/HOY to assign the analysis period (basically I want to run 8760 hours), and connect its HOY to DAY_MONTH_HOUR_CALCULATOR. Then, connect it to CB sky. But, there are several warnings pop-up on the component "DOY/HOY", says Feb. has 28 days, the date is corrected by Ladybug, and as well as other months less than 31 days. After the HOY is connected to the "DAY_MONTH_HOUR_CALCULATOR", the warnings are gone, and the lines become green. However, when I connect the "DAY_MONTH_HOUR_CALCULATOR" to CB sky, the output of "sky file pate" turns orange again. This causes the repetition of the last day of those months less than 31 days.
(I attach a picture for your information)
Does any of you know how to solve this problem? And what is the best way to run annual hourly (8760 hours) with CB sky?
Many thanks in advance!!

arq, que se celebrará entre el 28 de Enero y el 1 de Febrero de 2013 en el Colegio de Arquitectos de Granada.
El taller está destinado a arquitectos, artistas y diseñadores, tanto como profesionales, como estudiantes de grado y posgrado, que, sin necesidad de haber tenido ningún contacto previo con entornos de programación o herramientas informáticas de dibujo paramétrico o generativo, están interesados en probar y experimentar con las opciones que nos pueden ofrecer a los diseñadores.
El taller está dividido en tres bloques:
Curso intensivo: del 28 de Enero al 30 de Febrero, en horario de mañana, de 10 a 14. Taller de proyectos: del 28 de Enero al 30 de Febrero, por la tarde, de 16 a 20; y el 31 de Febrero, durante todo el día.
Presentaciones: viernes 1 de Febrero, mañana y tarde.
Utilizaremos Grasshopper, el editor algorítmico asociado al software de modelado tridimensional y dibujo Rhinoceros, por su facilidad de aprendizaje, al tratarse de un entorno gráfico, facilidad de adquisición, al ser gratuito y haber disponible una versión de prueba de Rhinoceros también gratuita, y amplia difusión en los últimos años. Y lo emplearemos tanto como modelador, como conector entre otros softwares y varias disciplinas. Por este motivo, también utilizaremos algunos de sus plug-ins, como Geco, para análisis ambiental, Elk, para enlazarlo con OpenStreetMap o Kangaroo, para simulación de sistemas físicos.
Lo único que necesitas es un ordenador portátil (si no pudieras conseguir), hacer el ingreso con el importe correspondiente y mandarnos tus datos y el recibo bancario del ingreso a smartlabgranada@gmail.com. Puedes ver los detalles en el apartado de Inscripción. El resto del material, tanto software como hardware, lo ponemos nosotros.
Nuestro acercamiento a estas herramientas es entusiasta acerca del potencial creativo que pueden ofrecer a diseñadores y artistas, pero también crítico y especulativo. Nos alejamos tanto de una posición puramente formalista, como del estricto funcionalismo, a los que desde los últimos años frecuentemente se ha asociado a esta disciplina.…

re.
I can point you to a couple of examples of structures at Expedition that we issued the primary set-out information to the contractor in digital form as a Rhino File. These particular structures necessitated this, trying to document tapered structures without "pure" mathematical setout would have been inefficient and problematic using traditional CAD drawings. You will need to have a close working relationship with the contractor/fabricator. For example, we would issue the entire model due various phases, and we used special line-type names assigned to layers to denote status such as "For Construction", "For Information", etc etc so that this information is clearly defined.
Infinity bridge is a project everyone that was involved in was proud of, http://www.expedition.uk.com/index.php?pid=28 . All the setout of this form found dual arch bridge, that the box girder bifurcated over the centre support and tapered in size along it's length with inclined webs was defined in our Rhino model. Of course we still had to issue traditional 2d plans, elevations and sections (which were primarily exported line work from sectioning in Rhino), as builders don't generally walk around with laptops (and there was 3rd party checking, contract letting etc that don't work so well with digital models).
Also, the Entrance Transfer Structure at 55 Baker Street - http://www.expedition.uk.com/index.php?pid=55 (First photo in sequence) was our first project in communicating to the contractor with Rhino models as primary set-out.
Both of these projects were a success, but you have to be really careful and diligent with the models and the checking of them (not that that is any different to any drawing/model preperation). The slightest error could be quite costly if first detected when the project is on site being assembled.
I can also say, that many of the tools for exchanging (importing and exporting) of structure models that you can try from http://www.geometrygym.com/downloads are being used by quite a few firms around the globe for more typical skeletal steel frame projects. Many of the analysis programs can then be used to transfer the structure directly to BIM like REVIT, and some custom spreadsheet formats allow transfer to/from Digital Project. I can't really say in public the projects these are being used on, but I can say they are renowned designers on quite high profile projects.
Even if the tools are used for coordinating and checking with your Rhino model if you need to redevelop from scratch, they will save you time and effort, and a key aspect of the service of these tools is near immediate support with custom and bespoke aspects that your project demands.
Feel free to get in touch if you wish to discuss this privately, I'm happy to try and help you if you desire.
Cheers,
Jon

As soon as I added materials (if you had add them in a different way they were not working for me) it had senseYou can see that the comfort chart when the windows are closed is the same, as it should be. When they are open you can see that the temperatures decrease and the RH increases (as it is high outside). There is also similar shapes on the comfort chart as the airflow volume showing when the windows are close for excessive temperature creating discomfort, this is logic, as your windows close at 28 degrees, what is not considered "comfortable" (however there are studies explaining it is comfort in certain situations, as in buildings with natural ventilation).
My guess is that energy plus was not reading properly your materials. Probably Mostapha and Chris will answer to this better than me
I have grouped the things I added to your script, hope it helps. If you upload the IDF I may try to help you a bit more until someone else helps you better.
