any workflow
-> would it make things easier if the component could accept only "pre-built" domains as inputs ?
in my mind I see extensive use of such a component for splitting lists, "debugging" definitions (maybe coupled with list-item) and all thae situations usually require the domain of a number slider to be manually set again
I think it might also make definitions "more adaptive", letting them work in different situations with less ad-hoc customization needed (I would use this component instead of a classic number slider in at least 75% of the situations)
I also imagine I would almost always use this instead of number sliders coupled with remap-numbers components
would it be helpful if I create a kind of detailed list of "situations" where the use of this component would save time and make new kinds of definitions possible?(maybe all this stuff goes on just in my mind, but I really see new horizons with the creation of this thing)…
ithin my TouchOSC interface. Check the definition below and see if it works for you.
Took a bit of time debugging (even though my solution shows a simple setup). For most of the time, however, I tried sending data to TouchOSC without gHowl's encoding algorithm (i.e. setting the Pattern parameter to '0' ASCII encoding). This yielded unexpected data -- a problem that is still unresolved.
If you pipe the data that you receive from TouchOSC in Grasshopper through a Python component with the contents:
a = repr(x)
as the code...you can start to gain a better understanding of the UDP data that is being sent between the listener and sender. Grasshopper panels, for better or worse, have a few metacharacters they natively recognize (e.g. '\x00' is a hexadecimal representation of an empty byte, which GH Panels don't display). This muddies the waters as far as debugging goes. It has tripped me up a few times now, so I am thoroughly in the habit of using the above, ad-hoc Python script. Good luck!…
n of an image across it (castle4.)
My first though was image sampler to the surface but I can not work how to get the sampler to view all the surface as one whole and apply the image across the whole thing regardless of the kinks.
just to ad because I'm not sure that this is very clear
I have 15 surface all connected by not a single surface due to the geometry and I would like the image to be a single image but across all the individual surfaces.
my end goal is a perforated façade based on the interpretation of the image
any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Luke

o do it, however, i'm not sure what this process is called. The structural aspect of it is ribs i think, however, the curves and terrain like form i have no idea what to search for.
Can anyone help? Even better if you know of any tutorials which teach you how to do this that would be great too.
I'm trying to do exactly this, where the ribs are laid out aswell so i can cut them to the exact size and make a physical model of it. The easiest method would be to use this model and change it to suit my project but i need to see some tutorials to learn how to do that.
I've attached the rhino and GH files as well, which i found off the net so you know what i'm talking about.
I'm not sure how to create that curved(terrain) form and then convert that form into a rib structure which i can turn into 2d and laser cut to build.

x/y/z points. However my results are coming out 'squished' in the y axis and I'm struggling to see why..
I imagine the problem is in the points I've chosen for the P1/2_XYZ but - although probably not best practice - I've just taken the lat and long points and plugged them in and scaled up the resulting curve..
Attached is what it should be:
And whats coming out:
Any ideas would be much appreciated.. Thank you!!

next level.
This Parametric Design course will provide the participants with the necessary knowledge and ability to use Grasshopper, a free visual programming plugin in Rhinoceros; you will be guided through a series of hands-on exercises that highlight NURBS modeling and its concepts. We will introduce Grasshopper as a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3D modeling tools. You will also learn how Rhino is used to render models for visualization, translate 3D models for prototyping, and export 3D models into 2D CAD or graphics programs.
English is the course main language.

ll geometry.
The difference with programs like Inventor is that they are made for production, regardless of the fabrication method. I won't go into detail about that, and instead focus on the modeling process.
In this little model, the starting point actually is a bit obvious, the foundation.
The only contents in the 3dm file are 27 lines. These indicate the location of each footing, and the direction of the tilt of each column. Everything else is defined in GH with the use of numbers as input parameters.
Needless to say, instead of those lines you could obviously generate lines and control the number of columns and panels, hence establish their layout, with any algorithmic or non-algorithmic criteria you please. That marks a major difference between GH and Inventor.
You can generate geometry with Inventor via scripting/customization (beyond iLogic), with transient graphics for visual feedback similar to GH's red-default previews. However Inventor's modeling functions are not set to input and output data trees. I won't go into detail on that, but suffice to say that the data tree associativity of GH was for me the first major difference I noticed. I've used other apps with node diagram interfaces like digital fusion for non-linear video editing since the late 90's, so the canvas did not call my attention when I first started using GH.
Anyways, here's a screen capture of the foundational lines:
In the first group of components, the centerlines of the rear columns are modeled:
And the locations in elevation for connection points are set. Those elevations were just numbers I copied from Excel, but you can obviously control that any way you please. I was just trying to model this quickly.
The same was done for the rear columns:
The above, believe it or not, took me the first 5 hours to get.
Here's a screen capture of what the model and definition looked like after 4 hours, not much:
If you're interested, next post I can get into the sketching part you mentioned, which is a bit cumbersome with GH, but not really.
I wouldn't say that using GH to do this little model was cumbersome, it just needed some thinking at the beginning. You do similar initial thinking when working with a feature-based modeler.…

unity in Ukraine, which is orientated to contemporary architecture.
The results of CANactions will be published in ACC magazine (link), on the web-sites of “Architectural club” (link), AB "ZOTOV&CO" (www.zotov.com.ua),
Theme
Theme of CANactions 2009 is emergent design techniques.
This theme could include following architectural branches as Digital design, sustainable architecture and other sectors, which by the participants’ opinions, could be EMERGENT.???
Any architectural projects made earlier of specially for the CANactions’09 are allowed for submission.
Presentation
All the projects will be submitted in two phases:
Phase 1 – selection of 10-15 participants of CANactions.
Project has to be sent by e-mail to: (__) in PDF (not less then 300 dpi, not more then 10 Mb).
Phase 2 –the CANactions participants prepare 15-20 min presentation of their projects (screen projector, microphone) and materials for the exhibition in House of Architect, Kyiv. The project has to be presented by author. -> exhibition is the first architecture biennale
Presentation requirements: file should be composed in PDF format on A0 sheets, placed horizontal (not more then 1 sheets). This file should contain sufficient amount of the presentation graphic material, including text explanation up to 300 words.
The raster images should have printing definition not less then 300 dpi. It’s recommended to avoid solid black fillings, because the projects will be printed on ink-jet printer.
The presentation requirements could be changed after phase 1 results.
The presentation materials should be made in Ukrainian (or Russian) and English. Verbal part can be presented in any language.
