this occasion, but it could be converted for DT in no time). Requires some minutes more as regards ... some things, but the usual update is due to some days.
Bad news: it's C#
Good news: User's Manual :
1. That thing (the C#, not me) after sorting (in a "sequential way", so tho speak) the panels (their order was chaotic) allows you to start the massacre by locating a focus of interest (and the user controllable +/- Range derived from it).2. The Range is variable (obviously) and takes care not to exceed the indices of the panel list (OK, that's elementary).
3. If you click the right button (Sadistic Q: where is it? he he) things are deleted and a new constantly self-updating list is your new List. Thus the massacre of panels is totally controllable. An autoZoom thing is also included (free of charge, but it's a bit nerve braking). Zoom factor is variable as well.
4. Then you move over (via the index slider) and start the massacre again. Notice the change of Range.
5. If you turn begin to false (initialization) and then begin to true > start all over again.
6. The other C# thing allows you to increment the index slider in a rather more convenient way. It's a bit weird: it uses delegates (A delegate is an object that knows how to call a method) and events (An event is a construct that exposes just the subset of delegate features required for the broadcaster/subscriber model - but don't ask what this means, he he) in order to talk with your slider (with a defined NickName) and perform the required value control.
NOTE: without realizing it you've just (indirectly) asked one of the most important questions even exposed in this Noble Forum. I hear you : what question? Well ... wait some days for the mother of all threads: "Total control in collections on a per Item basis"
may the Force (the dark option) be with you (and me)

new component "OSM 3D roof"):
2) Simplified 3D roads can be created by using the network of OSM polylines (through new component "OSM 3D road"):
3) 3D forest.Up until now, Gismo supported generating a single 3d tree whenever such tree was present in openstreetmap.org database. Now it is possible to generate 3d trees in forest areas, by randomly positioning the 3d trees (through new component "OSM 3D forest"):
4) Boolean 3d shapes.Gismo's "OSM 3D" component generates shapes as parts: for example, if a building has irregular shapes across its height, they will all be created individually. Trying to merge them with Grasshopper's "Solid Union" component can sometimes fail.New Gismo "Rhino Boolean Union" components tries to overcome this issue by using a much better Rhino version of this command.
5) Library of common GIS color palettes (gradients).A single component containing 22 of the common color palettes used in GIS applications as ArcGIS and QGIS. For example: elevation, aspect, precipitation...
6) Url to location.Thanks to idea by Alex Ng, it is possible to extract location from a link of the following map websites: Openstreetmap, google maps, bing maps, wego.here, waze:
Version 0.0.3 can be downloaded from here:

I am not knowledgeable about google maps nor google maps api, but from what I read the two components will definitely show a bit different results due to different topography sources.If it is judging by this 2010 article, your Terrain Generator component offers much higher precisions for USA. Precision goes up to a couple of meters, which is amazing!!On the global scale it offers either SRTM 1 or 3 arc-second data or 30 arc-second GLOBE data. Again this is from the mentioned article, I couldn't find this information by searching the Google Maps website.Terrain Generator 2 component always uses SRTM 1 arc-second data from opentopography.org, and it is limited to 60 degrees north and does not have data for Antarctica. It does not come with satellite image either which is another very convenient feature that you have!I couldn't find information about the allowed radius provided by the Google maps api free account. I limited the "radius_" input to 100 000 meters, even though opentopography.org provides more than that (I successfully downloaded 300 000, but Rhino 5 was not able to create a topography on my PC from such a large amount of data).Even though I couldn't compare the results from two components, by looking at your upper example_LB_terrain_generator.gh definition: set the "I" input of "Surface from points" component to True. In this way the surface will be interpolated through points, which is what we want.
Again thank you for the permission, and I look forward seeing those high precision topography that Google maps offers!!…
Here I use one which has been refined with a 5 level subdivision...does it appear ok to you or would you recommend going even smaller? Green nodes are the ones loads act upon.
2) 'Local To Mesh' vs 'Global' vs 'Projected Global'
I am applying a positive wind pressure (0,729 kN/m2) in the direction of global positive y axis.
The façade mesh is 1505 m2, of which 1056 m2 runs parallel to the XZ plane.The wind pressure is 0,729 kN/m2 acting in the positive y direction ---> expected resultant of +/- 1056 x 0,729 = 770 kN.
'Global' gives +1098 kN in positive y direction.
'Global Projected' gives a +770 kN resultant in the positive y direction.
'Local to mesh'...gives -770kN along x axis (parallel to the façade according to ModelView) & -215kN along y axis. This surprised me since 'Local to mesh' is indeed the option to chose according to the manual yet I can't see how a wind load perpendicular to the facade would result in the tower moving in a cross-wind direction. 'Global projected' appears to provide the most logical result.
In view of these results, do you think the mesh remains ill-defined, the tower's shape is the culprit...or my choice of coordinate system for the load? What would you recommend?
Thanks again for your feedback, which is greatly appreciated.

cript that and I attempted tweaking it for several days but I'm having problems achieving the full idea i had.
Problem 1:
Once I Brep a frame of the original cube, and the hoopsnake starts, it does not always select the right face of the frame, sometimes chooses a face inside rather than the exterior one, therefore not always fitting pieces together nicely. I tried applying a bounding box to each frame and use the face of the bounding box as reference for the hoopsnake mirroring but I couldn't figure it out so i got rid of it. So I'm stuck...
Problem 2:
The other thing, is I'm wondering whether its possible to parametrize some sort of structural principle into the linear growth sequence in order for structure to retain realistic structural integrity. For example, when you start hoopsnake, the cube linearly grows (mirrors itself) towards the selected point(s); if the growth goes up and across, how would I make it reach a structural limit to make it go back down to the floor and back up again and continue? Could even be as simple as "after 5 frames/cubes vertically and across it goes back down and then up again towards the referenced point(s)" or something.
PS. "Reset All" in Hoopsnake before doing anything.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance,

I use rhino with the nurbsrelaxation plugin. Recently we have had rhino do some work to come up with an automated drawing tool via grasshopper.
Since grasshopper has been added to rhino i have noticed that when drawing surfaces and then using the nurbs tool the tools behaviour has changed and is now including iterations at the end of its process doubling the amount of time it takes to draw/finalise the surface/shape.
Below i have included 2 screenshots, the first one shows the surface(yellow edges), and then the cursor showing the nurbs icons (toolbar) and the rest of the info is in the command boxes.
The 2nd one shows info in the command line, detailing what happens once the tool is run (this is where you can see the iterations occuring).
Having done a little research i get the impression that this may be grasshopper related but cannot find any confirmation of this nor of anyone experiencing the same issue.
I also know that nurbsrelaxation is a plug in so not everyone will use this.
Can anyone help me with this as i would like to know why the iterations are occurring and if we can eliminate or reduce them.
Many thanks in advance

he picture (4).
Previously, I had a problem with generating intersections between the two directions of the beams, but a colleague helped me by extending beams, so there was no problem with lines of intersection. But this solution has generated curl (5) at the highest vertex geometry, which I ignored in order to repair it before printing, perhaps this mean my problem with my beam spread properly. Only when the beams is 19, does not jump no problem, but I still can not distribute them properly.

which needs to go in the first line only.
Each value K is one element of the knot vector
XYZ is an individual control point. Each point gets its own line/string in the output list
R is the weight of the XYZ point defined in the same line
I can get all these data into separate lists easily enough using the buttons etc. But getting them into the proper order and moving stepwise down the data to generate the desired output string list is eluding me so far.
My thought is to make an array of columns.
Column one is a list of knot values.
Column two is a list of X values.
Column 3 = list of Y values
Column 4=z values
Column 5 is weight values
etc
The idea would be to read the first value in each list into a list of five elements, then make a string out of it. The second value of each column into a separate string on the next line, then the third value from each column into the third string in the output list and so on.The last few values in the output list will contain knot vector elements only, as there are more of these than there are control points. Some of these curves are very long, with many control points, like hundreds and hundreds.
It seems I should be able to pull the lists of interest and combine them into a tree somehow; so far all I have been able to manage is to get them into a single list by starting with control points, then weaving each list of interest successively into the growing list. I'm thinking I need to get the list for each parameter into an individual branch, then read a path across the branches at each index value. But I am missing something about the terminology. I have watched a few videos and it makes sense when people are pulling nested geometry out of models, but this is a little different. More of a data management issue. I'm sure if I wrestle with it I will get it, but it may not be pretty. Any pointers appreciated. A couple of approaches are attached. Not sure whether to loop a list subset through the data or do something else. Thanks,

I am starting to wonder if I have some sort of mismatch between my GHA file and my Diva version, though I'm not sure that would cause these kinds of problems.
Incidentally, I tried creating a brand new file and I get the same results. I cannot save anything with DIVA components in them, they disappear every time. :(
Speaking of 2.0, do you happen to know when that will be released?
Thanks,
Marc
