ace when I start running Galapagos/Octopus (below is "room orientation optimization" shared at http://hydrashare.github.io/hydra/viewer?owner=mostaphaRoudsari&fork=hydra_1&id=Room_Orientation_Optimization&slide=0&scale=1&offset=0,0) It may take quite some time to see some results. That's fine for the above simulation. But my real challenge is, when I am going to optimize room dimension with respect to ASE and sDA calculations, either Galapagos or Octopus goes wildly and never come up with a solution. I believe the time-consuming calculation, especially sDA with higher -ab numbers, trigger the lag a lot? Any suggestion/trick to improve it?
Most importantly, based on your experience, for example to optimize window/exterior shades sizes and achieve ASE<10% and sDA>55% (LEED v.4 requirements), Octopus (due to its capacity of multiple objectives) is the only choice? Any other approaches within grasshopper?
The alternative approach in my mind as a GH beginner is as follows. But I am not sure whether it is doable. Again, your comments will be greatly appreciated.
Since all my room/window/shades dimension are controlled by number sliders, I am thinking whether a component from GH will trigger these number sliders (not necessary to be all of them but one by one) automatically. If this is possible, I can do "data recorder" to record outputs from ASE and sDA. Eventually I will have a database of the input parameters and sDA/ASE results.
Does it make sense? Is there a component which can trigger number slider output at certain step?
Many thank!

le discontinuous list of index numbers and I'd like to be able to generate a set of domains where each span of numbers would have its own domain. For example:
This list: 5,6,7,8,9,22,23,24,25,26,77,78,79,80,81...
Would give these domains: 5 to 9, 22 to 26, 77 to 81...
I'm at a loss as to how I can achieve this though. I know I can use the bounds function on the list but that would give a single domain, not several. In case it helps the list in question was generated by a true/false cull pattern from the complete list of indices so simply determining the indices of the beginning and end of each chunk of 'trues' in the cull pattern would work as well as it would give the same domains. I can post an example file if anyone would like but I figure this is a pretty general issue.
So anybody have any ideas on how to solve this multiple domains from a single list problem? Thanks in advance for any help at all, I'd really appreciate it!

ng (It's a bit similar to the Knapsack problem):
I have a Variable --> XandI Have fix numbers (can we call "pieces") 9,12,15,18
I'd like to reach the X, with the summing of these numbers and using the minimum pieces ,it can't be lower than X, but it can be higher, maximum with 3.After this it has to found the most optimal combination which mostly use the same pieces
E.G.
X=98
The wrong solution is like = 1pcs of 18 = 9pcs of 9
Sum of pieces are 10
OR
= 3pcs of 18 = 1pcs of 15 = 1pcs of 12 = 2pcs of 9
Sum of pieces are 7
The right solution in this case = 5pcs of 18 = 1pcs of 9
(5*18)+(1*9)=99 it's good beacuse it's over with maximum 3 and uses the minimum pieces
Then it sends to a list like18 : 5pcs15 : 0pcs12 : 0pcs9 : 1pcsCan somebody help me ? Or is it possible to make this ?
Thank you…

llowing for higher skyline and construction areas along public transportation corridors. Up until now, neighborhoods once characterized by two-story houses, gardens and ground- floor open shopfront programs, have been completely transformed by the introduction of fortressed monolithic residential and office towers, which lack any sort of urban street life.
The new master-plan, however, now requires buildings to have an open street façade to accommodate multiple programs. Led by tutors from UNStudio (www.unstudio.com), the AA Visiting School São Paulo will address the changes being prescribed by the new masterplan through the redefinition of the tower typology in the extending of the ground of street culture, green landscapes and ecological mediation along the vertical axis of these buildings. For this, the workshop will teach advanced digital design and fabrication techniques to explore a series of novel differentiating structural and environmental organizations in the redefinition of the São Paulo skyscraper.

r (top left) is connected with the list which contains the centroids of every triangle of my mesh (my canopy, that I turned into a series of triangular surfaces). In this part of the definition I evaluate the Z coordinates (extracted form the points).
I execute some operations in order to have my values from 0 to 1 (parametrization). Then I sutracted the lower value of the list to all the data. So I obtained a new list of numbers, which stay from 0 to 1 and I can use in order to determine a gradient in the arch openings.
The result? If you look carefully to the rendering I posted you'll see that the arches are less opened near the ground and more opened near the top. It's a structural way of design the canopy. The more loads you must support, the more closed your arches will be (and the more stronger you should be).
Anyway consider this part as not important, because this parameter is just a my interpretation, it's not essential in order to obtain the canopy I posted. If you want you can just substitute that emitter with a simple number, from 0 to 1. Don't know, try to put 0.4 as an imput and let's see what happens. The result will be more similar. ;-)
Nice to meet you Morgan.…

"This is a preview of a parametric conceptual design tool for architectural
practice that I have been developing at NBBJ. I wanted to develop a
system that allows designers to quickly organize and understand complex
architectural programmes in three dimensions.
It is an advancement of the traditional bubble diagram; it solves
adjacency requirements automatically and suggests planimetric and
sectional relationships. The resulting diagrams are not formal
solutions; they are simply organizational diagrams with solved
adjacencies and accurate required areas. The diagrams are raw
materials, meant to be manipulated sculpturally, or even squeezed into a
formal container.
Technical Information
The tool was created in the Grasshopper plug-in for Rhino. Custom components, written in VB.NET,
read programme data directly from Excel into Grasshopper. The tool
uses the Kangaroo engine for realtime spring dynamics simulation."

green & B in red. These surfaces are at the centerlines of thicker beams in the model (not shown).
I have a list of "Intersections", the yellow vertical lines, usually four at each point the beams intersect (85 points or 340 intersections expected, though there are only 335).
What I'm trying to do is "get" the list of yellow vertical lines for each beam and keep them "associated", so that I can re-orient them with the thick beams in a flat, "nested" layout.
These intersections will appear in two sets of lists, one for beams "A" and another for beams "B".
I found and hacked a bit of C# script to partition the sorted list of indexes but not the related list of intersections ("Line-like Curves").
In this case, the data trees aren't working for me. I want "beam objects" with arbitrary properties, such as lists of intersections. Are there ways to do this "easily" in GH without resorting to C#, VB or Python?…
angel but when it comes to material behavior, stresses, surface tension i think that "our" tools are still no complex and powerful enough - and like i said i didn't really see the benefit in the work of my friend form the digital experiment.
so i think the question is is there a benefit from your digital experiment or do you rather stick to the physical experiment.
