mers considering extreme sports reject mainstream retailers and like to check out small stores rather of at chains plus malls. Several smaller retailers discuss trends in sports shoe sales. http://skateszone.com/
Though athletic shoes and sports stores and from doorways retailers have reported somewhat uptick in footwear sales due to the increase in extreme sports, the particular beneficiaries inside the trend are independent surf and skate niche stores.
Some West Coast surf and skate shops stated teenagers and even more youthful Generation Xers are not only rejecting traditional sports, but they're also shunning mainstream retailers and malls meant for smaller niche shops transporting hard-to-come-by brands.
Eddie Miyoshi, district manager at Atomic Garage, a 3-store chain situated in Gardena, Calif., stated the soaring recognition of skateboard footwear has boosted the retailer's total footwear business 20-thirty percent this year, rather of '95.
Skate footwear presently represent 80-90 % of Atomic Garage's shoe sales, while couple of years back, Dr. Martens and Timberland drove the retailer's footwear business.
Like many retailers, Miyoshi pointed to Airwalk since the trend's catalyst.
However, if Airwalk broadened its distribution to larger chains, which are frequently located in malls, only a few skate shoe customers adopted. Rather, many youthful males have switched for your skate shops for additional elusive brands like Etnies, Duffs, and Electricity Footwear by Circus. By refusing to market bigger retailers or sports stores, these brands are increasing their cachet among youthful consumers.
"Kids don't want stuff which have been within the shops,In . Miyoshi added.
Searching ahead, Miyoshi forecasted skate shoe sales will remain strong through spring '97 provided "the [hot] vendors don't auction other [non-particularly shop] retailers."
"Skaters and non-skaters are rebelling against mainstream retailers so on to surf and skate shops for many looks," echoed Mark Richards, co-online sources Val Surf, a 3-store chain situated in North Hollywood, Calif. Soaring sales of skate footwear have driven total footwear receipts up 25 percent this year rather of '95.
"The quantity of that increase might be connected while using exposure of maximum games? I am unsure. [Skate footwear] may also be actually the think about the moment,In . Richards acknowledged. And in relation to getting this right look, youthful customers can be very picky.
"Skateboard footwear is a huge category for people, but we're not able to own the brands, Etnies, Duffs, Electricity and Nice, simply because they won't sell us," stated Mark Anderson, buyer at Chick's Sports, a six-store chain in Covina, Calif. "We have people coming every single day requesting them." Consequently, skate footwear have consistently ongoing to obtain about 5 % of Chick's overall footwear business. http://skateszone.com/the-top-8-best-skateboards-for-beginners-reviews-2017/
Nonetheless, some outdoors, niche sports and sports retailers are noting the growing recognition and coverage of maximum sports will receive a modest impact on footwear sales. Trailrunning footwear and approach/outdoors crosstrainers will be the two groups benefiting the very best inside the recognition. Like the skate shoe business, some retailers realize that styling instead of function frequently drives sales of individuals footwear.
"At this time the merchandise is a lot more visual than function," stated Chet James, gm of Super Jock 'N Jill, Dallas, speaking about trailrunning footwear. Still, James noted the current hype over adventure sports helps draw more customer traffic. "The marketing campaigns and media help bring growing figures of people in, nonetheless they frequently occasions day an issue that increases results on their own account,Inch he conceded.
John Wilkinson, executive vp inside the 85-store chain Track 'N Trail, Eldorado Hillsides, Calif., stated the shop has "seen some activity in approach footwear," but he requested the amount of consumers depend in it commercially sport. And, instead of accelerating total footwear business, Wilkinson speculated elevated sales of approach footwear and trailrunners are gnawing away at traditional hiking shoe and boot volume.
But Dan Bazinet, president of Overland Exchanging, a 34-store chain situated in Westford, Mass., believes the company-new looks have breathed existence for the wilting hiking boot category. "[Approach-type footwear] don't represent the lion's participate the hiking market, nonetheless they have elevated the hiking business and provided us extra sales," Bazinet stated.
He designated Timberland's Treeline Series and Rockport's Leadville line as strong performers. Unsurprisingly, he noted the company-new looks are attractive to youthful consumer base than traditional hikers.
For that month of June, sales of men's hikers were up 49 percent at Overland, rather of June '95, while sales of women's hikers were up 17 % for that month. Bazinet also attributed elevated sales that shops walked inside the hiking business, departing that business for that specialists.
Some retailers draw a good example concerning the hiking boom of two yrs ago combined with the current extreme sport phenomenon. "Plenty of bigger chains will get a specific percent in the industry while [extreme] sports remain a fad because they are selling cost-point type gear," described Steven Carre, assistant hard goods buyer at Adventure 16, a six-store chain situated in Hillcrest.
"However individuals [true enthusiasts] will say `we need real gear' and may shown up at us. That will help us after a while. What Size Skateboard good for an 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 year old

an run. GH2 still uses the Rhino SDK for the geometry functionality, so curve offsets, meshing, brep intersections etc. will run exactly as fast as they do now.
However even in the absence of a working version of GH2 which can be profiled, we can still discuss some of the major aspects of performance:
Preview display. Each GH solution involves a redraw of all the Rhino viewports at the end (unless is preview is switched off, which I imagine is exceedingly rare). For simple GH files, the viewport redraw takes far more time than the solution. Rhino6 has a completely rewritten display pipeline using more modern APIs so we should see a speed-up here in the future, be it GH1 or GH2 or GHx.
Canvas display. Each GH solution involves a redraw of the Grasshopper canvas. If the canvas shows a lot of bitmaps or intricate geometry (lots or text, dense graphs, etc.) this can take a significant amount of time. GH2 will use Eto instead of GDI+ as a UI platform. Eto can be both faster and slower than GDI, depending on what's being drawn. It is particularly fast when drawing images, not so much when drawing lots of lines. There is a little room for improvement here and I intend to take full advantage of that.
Preview meshing. Grasshopper uses standard Rhino mesher to generate preview meshes. If a GH file generates lots of breps, a large amount of time will be required to create the preview meshes. The new display improvements in Rhino6 will allow us to get away with previewing some types of geometry without the need to mesh them first, and I imagine some effort will be spend in the near future to improve the Rhino mesher as well.
Data casting. Most component code operates on standard framework and RhinoCommon types (bool, int, string, Point3d, Curve, Brep, ...), however Grasshopper stores and transfers data wrapped up in IGH_Goo derived types. This means that every time a component 'does it's thing', data needs to be converted from one type into another, and then back again. This involves type-checking and often type instantiation. This stuff is fast, but it's overhead nonetheless and can take significant amount of processor cycles when there's lots of data. GH2 no longer does this, it stores and transfers the types directly as they are. There will still be some overhead left, but hopefully a lot less.
Computation. GH1 is a single-threaded application. When a component operates on a large collection of data, each iteration waits for the next. GH2 will be parallel, meaning components will be invoked on multiple threads, each thread focusing only on part of the data. Then all the results need to be merged back into a single data tree. On my 8-core machine (4 physical cores, each with 2 logical cores) I've been getting performance speed-ups of 4~6 times when using my multi-threading code. I wish it was 8, but clearly there is some overhead involved here as well.This will not help to speed up a single very complicated solid boolean operation, but if you're offsetting 800 curves, then each thread can be assigned 100 curves and the time it takes will set by whatever thread takes the longest.
Algorithms. If a specific component is slow, there may be things we can do to speed it up. Either improve the Rhino SDK, or improve the GH code. Depends on the component in question.
When all's said and done, I'd love to see a 10x speed increase for GH2 over GH1 for simplish stuff, and I shall get very cross if it's anything less than 5x.…

e actual method.
Below, I descibe how they work:
1) drag "scheduleDay" onto the canvas
2) drag some Gene Pool lists onto the canvas and connect a number slider - from 0 to 3.
3) connect the Gene Pool list to _genePool input. The component change some important features of the Gene Pool list automatically. Now you have LB_GenePool!!
4) choose the template that it's suitable for you.
5) disconnect LB_GenePool and if templates are not good, you can change them manually
6) drag "Ladybug annual schedule" onto the canvas
7) Connect LB_GenePools to inputs for the days of the week, Epw file and if you want to "_holiday" (in this way you consider holidays). Now you have your simple schedule.
8) a small workflow to visualize it into Rhino..
9) Connect "Ladybug annual schedule" to "Honeybee_Create CSV Schedule" to make your csv Schedule
You could make a schedule more complex than the one in the example above.
You can do that with _analysisPeriod input.

radiance parameters to get rid of blotching. To add another level of complexity to my problem, I am running simulations with a translucent material with the following properties: void trans testTrans
0
0
7 0.478 0.478 0.478 0.000 0.010 0.178 0.635
I have had no issues with the renderings when I use clear glazing, as seen on this image:
However the blotching-issue becomes very noticeable when I introduce translucent glazing into the scene:
For the two above cases I used the following parameters:
_av_ is set to 0
xScale is set to 2
_ab_ is set to 6
_dc_ is set to 0.5
_aa_ is set to 0.2
_ad_ is set to 2048
_st_ is set to 0.5
yScale is set to 2
_ps_ is set to 4
_ar_ is set to 64
_as_ is set to 2048
_ds_ is set to 0.25
_pt_ is set to 0.1
_dr_ is set to 1
_pj_ is set to 0.9
_dp_ is set to 256
_dt_ is set to 0.25
_lr_ is set to 6
_dj_ is set to 0.5
_lw_ is set to 0.01
I ran another test with increased Radiance parameters and got the following output:
with the following parameters:
_av_ is set to 0
xScale is set to 6
_ab_ is set to 6
_dc_ is set to 0.75
_aa_ is set to 0.1

_ds_ is set to 0.05
_pt_ is set to 0.05
_dr_ is set to 3
_pj_ is set to 0.9
_dp_ is set to 512
_dt_ is set to 0.15
_lr_ is set to 8
_dj_ is set to 0.7
_lw_ is set to 0.005
Although the second blotching case is much better than the first, it is still very bad for hours when the sun is lower in the sky. The above images are rendered for a clear sky at 18:00 in Germany in a West-facing room.

difference consists of.
An Evolutionary Solver/Genetic Algorithm is an implementation of Metaheuristics. Metaheuristics tend to be flexible solvers, applicable to a wide variety of problems, fairly easy to implement, but slow. Other examples of Metaheuristic algorithms would be Random Search, Scatter Search, Simulated Annealing and do on. These algorithms are often modelled on physical or biological processes.
Simulated Annealing for example simulates the physical process of annealing (who'd have thunk it), which is basically the slow cooling of a material which allows it to settle into a crystalline lattice, i.e. a low energy distribution of all the atoms. I'm currently adding an SA solver to Galapagos, and in fact just yesterday managed to get the first successful run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWtYLv-4oP0
Metaheuristics are especially useful for those cases where little is known about the problem ahead of time. If the problem search-space is mathematically well defined (differentiable, especially), then you can use more targeted algorithms such as the Newton-Raphson method, Pareto-search or Uphill search. You can still use these methods on non-differentiable search-spaces, but it involves sampling the local region to death to get an estimate of the differential. This can be a very costly enterprise, especially in high dimensional search-spaces. In a two-dimensional search-space you'll need 3 to get a lame estimate and 4 to get a halfway decent estimate and 8 to get a good estimate. In three-dimensional search space you already need 26 samples, and the number of samples grows exponentially with higher dimensions.
If you have a specific problem you're trying to solve, Metaheuristics are probably not the best solution, even though they may be easiest to program. Rhino uses something akin to Newton-Raphson for certain problems and that's fast enough to run in real-time.
Divide-and-Conquer algorithms are also quite popular. Sometimes they are called Binary-Search or Tree-Search algorithms as well. Their basic premise is to sample the search-space at a few intervals (but enough to capture the needed detail), then find two neighbours with promising values and sample again in between these two. Then repeat. Each new iteration typically doubles accuracy, which is great because then you only need ~30 ~40 iterations to get an answer as good as possible with double-precision floating point accuracy. However not all problems lend themselves well to this sort of search and in higher dimensions it starts getting slow with disconcerting alacrity.

nts for Ladybug too. They are based on PVWatts v1 online calculator, supporting crystalline silicon fixed tilt photovoltaics.
You can download them from here, or use the Update Ladbybug component instead. If you take the first option, after downloading check if .ghuser files are blocked (right click -> "Properties" and select "Unblock").
You can download the example files from here.
Video tutorials will follow in the coming period.
In the very essence these components help you answer the question: "How much energy can my roof, building facade, solar parking... generate if I would populate them with PV panels"?
They allow definition of different types of losses (snow, age, shading...) which may affect your PV system:
And can find its optimal tilt and orientation:
Or analyse its performance, energy value, consumption, emissions...

been covered since 0051 (correct me if I'm wrong):
1) Shoot for the moon first -- "Control Panel Mode" which allows for advanced interface design. See Max/MSP for example of modal function. I spent a lot of time laying out control panels so they are nice for clients and team members to look at. I spend a lot of time disabling wire display and dragging sliders and panels and graphs around into nice little clusters. Could be something as simple as a mode that disables the view of all component handles, cleans up graph objects, sliders, etc. I know the Remote Control Panel has been requested over and over again since it disappeared, but honestly it wouldn't be much use to me unless it was a full blown customizable interface. In the meantime I'll stick to my own "Canvas Control Panel" methods. (See below...)
2) More control over graph objects. Right now the bar graph for instance automatically sets the lowest and highest value displayed. Would be nice to be able to set extents manually so that you can compare apples to apples on two different lists that have different extents. Also would love to force the bar graph to show all values along x axis, not just first and last. Same goes for showing the numbers of instances for each value. Now it only shows instance numbers in oddball cases. Would like to force them to show for statistical purposes. Love percentages, but usually I also want accurate tallies. I tend to use a member index sets to generate my own lists.
3) Color input for Vectors -- there are fakey fake workarounds but none that are as versatile as simply having a color input.
4) COLOR INPUT FOR TEXT TAGS -- sorry to yell... this one really frustrates me. I often build interactive feedback systems that involve a lot of different types of data, and it is difficult to convey that input when all text is red (or green when selected).
5) Ability to justify text tags using paragraph controls -- currently default is left-justified. Would like to be able to center text horizontally and vertically, among other things.
6) Ability for text tags to handle multi-line text. Not sure the best way to implement this, but often I find myself wanting to attach 3 items of information to a particular object, and I have to string it all together in one line. Would be great if I could insert a "^M" character that stands for carriage return and have that display as multiline text (used in conjunction with above justification controls).
7) More control over Text panels. Thank you for including justification options... but sadly now it begs the question for margin and header control. Text slammed up against the left edge is pretty unsightly. Moreover, if you have labeled a text box, the drop shadow from the title bar tends to overshadow the first line of text if you have Path display turned off. Would like to add some header space to fix the problem and create a cleaner look.
8) Easier access to text font size. Buried in a Special Font... menu. I want to be able to up up down down (left right left right select start) if you know what I mean.
I guess that's it for now... just the things on the top of my head in this category. Looking forward to installing the new release, have to wait until this major project is over though.
Cheers,
Marc

planeList.Add(plane7) Dim plane8 As New Plane(fp, bp, ep)
planeList.Add(plane8)
For i As Integer = 0 To planeList.Count - 1 Step 1
Dim transf As New transform()
transf = transform.ChangeBasis(planeList.item(0), planeList.item(i))
Dim newmesh As New mesh
newmesh = oldMesh
newmesh.Transform(transf)
meshList.Add(newmesh)
Next
================================
So why it doesnt want to work ?
I obtain 8 meshes all in the same place as mesh based on plane1
