are now in 72 branches
I need the points to be in sorted out per line, that is.. 30 branches
what I actually need is to then cull the lines that have more than 2 intersections, maybe there is an easier way to do this?
Thank you very much for your help!!

th 6 branches and 96 values per branch.
How can I find the weighted values of each branch in the tree?
For each branch, I need to take each item and subtract it from every other item in the branch. Then take the length of the branch - 1 (95) divided by the sum of each subtraction. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/math/a/e/7/ae79a689e288c866e2046eef70fe030c.png
I am able to do this by grabbing 1 branch and doing the calculations, but this requires me to flatten the list at points, which obviously will not work when I try to do the computation on the entire tree and not an isolated branch.
Attached is an image of the definition I built to compute the weight values for a specific branch.
Thank you.…
ftware all by myself. Therefore, please don't be surprised about some basic stuff I don't know yet :-)
After baking the cube (with the bionic structure inside) I receive a 95% solid part. But by having a closer look at the surface of the component, some kind of graphical errors (kind of holes in the outter surface) can be recognized. For this reason, I'm not able to export the component into an STL. file.
Do you have any idea why these mistakes occure and how to fix it in the grasshopper algorithm?
Furthermore, I think about transforming this "shell-model" into a solid component. Is it enough to just bake it and export it as a STL file?
Thank you in advance!

didn't look at it that closely), other than to say tree data structure is helping you and hurting you.
What I did to fix the file was work backwards. Looking at only the left panel you are trying to create 11 total planar surfaces from edge curves (8 curves per surface). That means you should be generating 11 of each type of curve so that you will have 88 total curves when you attempt to join them.
Tree data was in some cases giving you 121 of each type of curve (lists matching with tree structure...) so I worked backwards from your individual curves to flatten the inputs until ending up with only 11 (the expected number) of each type of curve.

use for some typical reasons why solar access can be important:
Solar Access for Passive Solar Heating - The conditional statement should request sun vectors for any hours below the balance point of the building (the temperature at which the building starts requiring additional heating). For residences, this can be as high as 18C and for commercial/retail buildings with high internal heat gains, this can be as low as 10C. 16C is around what you might find for some residences with better insulation and is probably the reason why that is chosen in the file.
Solar Access for Outdoor Thermal Comfort - The conditional statement should request sun vectors for any hours below the lower limit of outdoor comfort (UTCI uses 9C for this lower limit).
Solar Access for Health of Plants/Trees in a Park/Garden - This is a bit of the opposite of the other metrics since you want hours of the warmer season. In this case, I usually use solar radiation as the annualHourlyData with the conditional statement and I request hours that are above a certain radiation level (where the plants are benefiting the most). I then use an analysisPeriod to get rid of any months of the year when the trees don't have leaves on them.
Hope this helps,

explore new approaches to design in the line of Utzon's work, by extending his design principles with the use of computational techniques in a parametric design environment. The summer school is a hands-on learning environment, where theoretical knowledge is coupled with physical and digital design assignments related to the theme.
We will be working in the Utzon Center throughout the summer school and from the studies and prototypes developed by participants a 1:1 folded reciprocal canopy will be created and constructed to cover a large part of the Utzon Center courtyard.
Please send 2x A4 pages, including letter of interest (5-10 lines), 1-2 reference projects of previous work and contact details to Lasse Andersson (land@create.aau.dk) before 1. May.

ling" shapes, you can consult this video tutorial:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a38zoKkVa1c&feature=relmfuThis one too:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O61dMrCN0U…
need to?
2. "if there's no points why bother making the branch?" - It seems the default behaviour of grasshopper components is to keep empty branches, I just did the same. Not sure if there are situations where it would make a difference, but it just seemed the right thing to do.
3. "The 2nd C#" - are you talking about the v.01 tree? because if so the v.02 is already a rewrite with a very concise Main.
"Main should use less lines than an A4 and/or what you can see in your screen editor without scrolling thanks for the tip" - thanks for this tip will do that from now on
"Use public Methods for the variables" - could you explain this a little better? what's the difference in the grasshopper script component of using public vs private?
thanks again…
