to 1.00. This is way too optimistic value, and in reality there will be a noticable difference between DC and final AC power output. You can use the 'DC to AC derate factor' component to account for/see some of these differences.
I edited your definition and added an effect of shading.I used only a single PVsurface (horizontal rooftoop) to cut down the calculation time.But you can use as many of them as you like (the way you already did in your definition).
I labeled in red (group) the 3 boolean toggles which you need to set to True, in order for definition to be ran.
It is also useful to check some of the example files from the Ladybug Photovoltaics release topic.
If you have any other/further issue or question, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help.…
imension(new Plane(new Point3d(5, 3, 0), Vector3d.ZAxis), new Point2d(0, 0), new Point2d(10, 10), new Point2d(5, 5));
myDim.TextHeight = 500;
doc.Objects.AddLinearDimension(myDim);
The bold line seems to be not working because I can't see any changes of text size in the rhino document.
2. I failed to add my DimStyle Object to the LinearDimension object I created above.
Rhino.DocObjects.DimensionStyle myDimStyle = new Rhino.DocObjects.DimensionStyle();
myDimStyle.ArrowLength = 100; myDimStyle.TextGap = 200; myDimStyle.TextHeight = 500;
int dimStyleIndex = doc.DimStyles.Add("myDimStyle", false);
myDim.DimensionStyleIndex = dimStyleIndex;
The bold line seems to be not changing the style of my LinearDimension object.
Could anyone help me with these two failures?
Thanks!

Karamba.
I am using your plug-in for normal forces evaluation in the transvere wires and spreaders of a sailboat. Mast is solved in another way, so I am not taking forces from Karamba in that case.
Basing on the forces value an adequate wire size (diameter) is choosen. Then masses of wires are being calculated. Loads (forces) on longitudinal wires are calculated without Karamba. The problem is when choosing transverse wires’ mass minimization as a criteria, the Octopus doesn’t get any results - is changing the sliders (genes) too fast for Karamba to calculate the forces (so Octopus gets only nulls):
When minimization of a e.g. longitudinal wires’ mass (calculated without Karamba) is taken as a criteria Octopus works fine.
Which suggests that the problem is in interaction of two plug-ins.
Any ideas how to avoid that problem?
Thanks,
M.

Despite the ‘orange warning’ the values are correct (double checked with other software).However I don't know why does it say that there is a part that can move freely without deformation,as the model looks like this:

es (M.y) on the boundary of the left hand side (y-axis) of the isometric figure are not displaying correct. The right hand side (x-asis) displays correct. Both x- and y-axis are defined in the same way however this problem occurs when I apply releases on the structure. Joints are applied on the inner elements stretching out of the xy-plane. As can be seen in the GH-definition the joints are applied as rotational springs (inducing simple joints?). I'm not 100% sure if join configuration can be structurally compatible but i'm using it for form-finding, so i want to configure it with a easy logic.
2. I've seen a few topic on the Model output of material and cross-section but it's not any clear to me why they are included in the model. I have the same problem as one extra material and 2 extra cross-sections is applied to the model but I cannot find the input for it. Also if i disable the gravity component there is still a leftover load which is undefined...
- I wonder if it effects the structural analysis in any way and may it be apart of the problem?
I would be overwhelmed if someone could resolve the problem!

ve's length but the euclidean sort is ordering them by increasing x value (I think... I must confess I'm not 100% sure what a euclidean sort actually does :-( ). this works most of the time, but above a certain number of division points along the curve, this sort order is not right because the arc is more than 180degrees so, above a certain number of division points, the end points are not in the right order.You can see this in the example attached that the model works up to 15 division points and after that, the intersection points on the rear arc are in the wrong order to draw the polyline through. Watch the sweep rails end up the wrong length near the ends of the arch!Sweep2: This works if I pull out just the 2 rails and profile i want... you can change the index of the rails and profile from the lists and they work for each section of the arch but if i try to do all at once, nothing happens but I get no runtime errors. Why does it work one at a time, but not all at once?Further work: I want to take each sweep surface and flatten them - any ideas how to do this in GH?Then I want to lay the flattened surfaces out in a pattern on the x-y plane and apply an offset curve to them. The offset could be different in th x and y directions.To get this model to work, set the first curve in the GH file to the front arc in the Rhino file and the second curve in the GH file to the rear arc.Then make sure the file button points to wherever you save the rails.txt fileAny help or advice would be appreciated and I hope you find this interesting!Thanks!…
ms of architectural and structural expression, forms that are radically changing the built environment.
The workshop theme “Biomimetic Residential Tower” will focus on development of concept and design. This new issues arising from generative design technology in highly informative and thought-provoking presentations and discussions.
workshop is a one-day agenda comprised of “brief explanation” about these softwares preceded by a two-day workshop.
Workshop – September 16-17
Anyone of academia and professional practice, as well as the bright students can attend. The workshop provide a field for who came together for two intensive days of design and collaboration.
Workshop Software
Workshop participants use Grasshoper- Geometry Gym- kangaroo– Rhino’s generative design software – as their platform.
notice: only attendents in the Attending list of grasshopper3d can register Workshop.
Workshop fee: 100$

ve noticed some strange/unexpected behavior though.
First, I'm noticing a strange path behavior in the new version:
Where before I would have expected the output to be 100 paths with 40 points each, in this version I'm getting 1000 paths with 4 points each - it seems to be producing different paths for the V divisions and not the U divisions. Is this intentional? I can get it back to the old structure by "flattening one branch" (a task I do often - this would be an extremely useful component - "flatten N branches"). This seems clunky though, I prefer the old behavior as a default for the divide component - it seems odd to have U and V divisions treated differently with respect to the data structure.
Second, in certain cases I'm simply losing all display preview regardless of setting. Not sure what the issue is, if I can reproduce it consistently I will post an update.
Thanks again for all the hard work on what continues to evolve into a really fabulous tool!…
nd another with winter period, colors are almost same. Just an amount of radiation kWh/m2 is naturally higher or lower.
What I want to acomplish, is constant legend colors, from 100 - 1200 kWh/m2 for all calculation periods. Maybe with more segments.
Then would I get more blue to yellow coloring of winter period and more yellow to red for Summer.
This way is better for understanding amount of radiation in different periods.
Is it possible now or is it just my wish.
Thanks,
Igor

or of the rectangle
Here is a sketch.
I found also into rhinoscript help some script however I don't see how to manage to create such a component for a use into grasshopper.
Could you possibly help me ?
Thank you.

Value
Description
0
All modes.

Dim arrRect
arrRect = Rhino.GetRectangle
If IsArray(arrRect) Then
Rhino.AddTextDot "0", arrRect(0)
