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!!

76. {55;0}77. {55;1} ... ....
I want to grab the first 8 [0-7], the next 13[8-20], the next 21[21-42] etc
so i have the (known fibonacci seq) list of numbers on the left here:
C S
8 0
13 8
21 21
34 42
55 76
89 131
144 220
233 364
and i need the list on the right, so that i can select items using a Series (N=1 and S and C from the list above) and a List Item component.
the simple question is:
is there a component that can take a list and accumulate it in this way that I need?
if not, is there anyone that can point me to a simple relevant VB example so i could easily adapt it?
many thanks,

umbrella of Urban Heat Island (UHI) and I am going to try to separate them out in order to give you a sense of the current capabilities in LB+HB.
1) UHI as defined as a recorded elevated air temperature in an urban area:
If you have access to epw files for both an urban area and a rural area, you can use Ladybug to visualize and deeply explore the differences between the two weather files. Ladybug is primarily a tool for weather file visualization and analysis and it can be very helpful for understanding the consequences of UHI on strategies for buildings or on comfort. This said, if you do not have both rural and urban recorded weather data or you want to generate your own weather files based on criteria about urban areas (as it sounds like you want to do), this definition might not be so helpful.
2) UHI defined by air elevated air temperature but viewed as a computer model-able phenomenon resulting primarily from urban canyon geometry, building materials, and (to a lesser degree) anthropogenic heat:
This definition seems to fit more with they type of thing that you are looking for but it is unfortunately very difficult and computationally intensive such that we do not currently have anything within Ladybug to do this right now. I can say that the state-of-the art for this type of modeling is an application called Town Energy Budget (TEB) and this is what all of the advanced UHI researches that I know use (http://www.cnrm.meteo.fr/surfex/spip.php?article7). Unfortunately for those trying to use it in professional practice, it can take a while to get comfortable with it and it currently runs exclusively on Linux (this does mean that it is open source, though, and that you can really get deep into the assumptions of the model). A couple years ago, a peer of mine translated almost all of TEB into Matlab language making it possible to run it on Windows if you have Matlab. He wrapped everything together into a tool called the Urban Weather Generator (UWG), which can take an epw file of a rural area and warp it to an urban area based on inputs that you give of building height, materials, vegetation, anthropogenic heat, etc. I would recommend looking into this for your project, although, bear in mind that is it not open source like the original TEB tool and that you may need to get a (very expensive) copy of MATLAB (http://urbanmicroclimate.scripts.mit.edu/uwg.php).
3) UHI as defined by a thermal satellite image of an urban area depicting an elevated average radiant environment that reaches a maximum a the city center and changes by land use:
This is the definition of UHI that I am most familiar with and was the basis of much of my past research. I feel that it is also a definition of UHI that is a bit more in line with where a lot of contemporary UHI research is headed, which is away from the notion of UHI as a macro-scale meteorological phenomena that is averaged as an air temperature over a huge area towards one that accepts that different land uses have different microclimates and (importantly) different radiant environments. While the air temperature difference between urban and rural areas usually does not change more than 1-4 C, the radiant environment can be very different (on the order of 10-15 C differences). The best way to understand UHI in this context is with Thermal satellite images, for which there is ha huge database of publicly available data on NASA's glovis website (http://glovis.usgs.gov/) or their ECHO website (http://reverb.echo.nasa.gov/reverb/#utf8=%E2%9C%93&spatial_map=satellite&spatial_type=rectangle). I tend to use thermal data from LANDSAT 5-8 and ASTER satellites in my research. Unfortunately, there is a lot f bad data with a lot of cloud cover mixed in with the really good stuff and it can take some time to find good images. Also, there aren't too many programs that read the GeoTiff file format that you download the data as. I know that ArcGIS will read it, a program called ENVI will read it (I think that the open source QGIS can also red it). I have plans to write a set of components to bring this type of data into Rhino and GH (I may get to it a few months down the line).
4) UHI as a computer model-able notion of "Urban Microclimate" with consideration of local differences and the local radiant environment:
This is where a lot of my research has lead and, thankfully, is an area that Honeybee can help you out a lot with. EnergyPlus simulations can output information on outside building surface temperatures and these can be very helpful in helping get a sense of the radiant environment around individual buildings. Right now, I am focusing just on using this data to fully model the indoor environments of buildings as you see in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNylb42FPIc&list=UUc6HWbF4UtdKdjbZ2tvwiCQ
I have plans to move this methodology to the outdoors once I complete this initial application to the indoors. For now, you can use the "Surface result reader" and the "color surfaces based on EP result" components to get a sense of variation in the outside temperature of your buildings.
I hope that this helped,

dello spazio. In dipendenza dal proprio modo di interazione ambientale, gli edifici possono essere distrubuiti e/o aggregati in modalità appropriate in modo da accumulare o disperdere gli effetti della loro interazione e il proprio impatto sull'evoluzione delle relazioni future. A livelli più bassi si può, ad esempio, considerare la distribuzione di componenti o caratteristiche lungo un involucro.
Approcci basati su unità funzionali operano una proliferazione basata sulla ripetizione indifferenziata e insensibile all'ambiente, risultando in una discretizzazione di matrice convenzionale e nella separazione tra edifici, edifici e contesto o spazi interni ed esterni; un diverso tipo di approccio, basato sulla condizione (termine usato nella sua doppia accezione di indicatore dinamico della tendenza di sviluppo dell'ecosistema e in quella causale – if a then b), introduce una forma di proliferazione che sfida e scioglie la dicotomia artificiale: molte piante crescono ovunque le condizioni portino ad esse beneficio, senza riguardo per limiti codificati nello spazio in cui si sviluppano. Le implicazioni sulla negoziazione dello spazio e sulla definizione di soglia sono notevoli; il sistema produce un campo armonicamente articolato e differenziato di fenotipi a partire dal genotipo attraverso un processo di "estetica delle forze" guidata attraverso lo strumento digitale.
A livello urbano questo può tradursi nella proliferazione di infrastrutture o di spazi che mettono in discussione la concezione statica di "confine" e "unità" in favore di modelli in grado di generare una gamma più estesa di inflessioni tra livelli di complessità e indirizzarli per abilitare e rendere accessibili potenzialità d'uso a loro volta articolate e complesse.
Il tema sarà dipanato attraverso le giornate del workshop sviluppando aspetti teorici e tecnici dell'approccio parametrico generativo, con particolare attenzione a strategie di design urbano basate su caratteristiche endogene (vincoli interni del sistema) ed esogene (fattori ambientali) allo scopo di stimolare l'esplorazione di soluzioni sistemiche innovative.

tunities offering new tools and ways to understand dataflow, performance analysis, logic constructions, etc. Over that statement, I've always observed that a definition is full of information at component level or small groups, but that informed-user-feeling disappears exponentially while you zoom out an get a more general picture of a big definition (small definitions are not a problem due to the good level of information supplied at that zoom factor).
So I though, why not to use this graphic potential to lead to a more complete data representation at low zoom factors in big/very big definitions? Have you ever noticed how annoying is to review big definitions captures printed in A1 project panels? These captures lack any kind of useful information (even if you are an expert in GH)...you can only conclude looking at them how organized or well planed was the definition coding process...but nothing else (not really, you can conclude other stuff, but not at the level that you could expect from a graphic-centric coding tool). Some users has invented ways to give more data to third-person users/tutors...: using panels with text scaled up, using scribble components, importing drawings from rhino...is even more frustrating if you want to explain how the definition works using one of those captures...there are not landmarks, etc to support your speech.
All this lead us to include certain components search (by name, plugin, tab...) into our mapping tool. Could be nice to be able to stack several layers of information visually, and it could lead to a better understanding on GH definitions as a whole and not as small pieces linked together.
Sorry for the big "tocho"...like we say in Spanish.
By the way, the histogram thing sounds great :D…

uld draw, lets say opening locations which would then trigger certain code. Its fairly easy to convert formating, a cell with a certain color, to code, so in a way I would be using excel as a super basic cad program to manage lists of data. In order to do this I need to be able to call some Excel commands from Rhino and to add some functionality to LAN's rhino to excel script (http://www.livearchitecture.net/archives/1516) I would like to be able to get the Ubounds and dimension of an array or a list. . . ie somehow get the equivelenat number of rows and columns of an incoming list of data and then use this to generate some graphics in excel but . . . . It seems that the sytax for excel Vb script via interoperability
marshaling is a bit different:1)I can not use
the set command ie Set range 2) it does not allow me to use the typical excel
syntax such as:
Worksheets("Sheet1"). Range("A1:D4").BorderAround
ColorIndex:=3, Weight:=xlThick
I get the following errors
Error: Method arguments must be enclosed in parentheses. (line 114)
Error: Name 'xlThick' is not declared. (line 114)
Is their an alternate way to write the Excel commands? Or is there something I need to do in Rhino? Any advice would be appreciated.
Best,
Ben…

H are automated by using them as an ActiveX, the C# script object fails on the simplest tasks. That is, when initiating Rhino and GH externally (as by the following C# code):
Rhino5Application rhino_app = new Rhino5Application();
dynamic grasshopper = newRhino.rhino_app.GetPlugInObject("b45a29b1-4343-4035-989e-044e8580d9cf", "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000") as dynamic;
The following very simple C# script component fails because it cant cast its input:
The c# code at the component is only:
Line 89 is simply casting of the input. Clearly, this makes the usage of C# component, under automation, impossible which is a major loss.
As said, when initiating Rhino and GH manually , all works well as in the following:
Any ideas why it misbehaves under automation (as an Active X ) ?
I added the gh file of this example.…

La simulazione fisica interattiva, integrata nell’ambito della modellazione parametrica consente di indagare nuove soluzioni formali ottimizzate per l’architettura ed il design. Il workshop approfondirà le strategie e le principali tecniche di FORM FINDING utilizzando il motore fisico KANGAROO integrato a plugin di analisi strutturale (MILLIPEDE e KARAMBA). Le tecniche saranno applicate a diversa scala: dall’architettura (modellazione di superfici e coperture a semplice compressione) al design del prodotto, dove la simulazione digitale sarà integrata a tecniche di refinement (WEAVERBIRD). Il workshop e rivolto a studenti e professionisti con conoscenze base di modellazione algoritmica con Grasshopper.
Il programma approfondirà le metodologie e gli strumenti atti ad individuare soluzioni strutturali ottimizzate (es. superfici a semplice compressione) attraverso un’ampia trattazione di casi studio (Ponte sul Basento, Copertura British Museum) e l’applicazione di tecniche digitali basate sul form-finding gravitazionale e l’analisi FEM (Finite Element Method). Nella seconda parte del corso gli studenti affronteranno lo studio di innovative tecniche di ottimizzazione (Evolutionary Structural Optimization ed Extended Evolutionary Structural Optimization) basate sulla eliminazione della materia ridondante per una geometria assegnata, caratterizzata da un determinato sistema di vincoli, sottoposta ad una specifica condizione di carico.
