A low-resolution work. Real time motion capture display made with an 11x8 (88) pixels iPad matrix using Grasshopper + Firefly + Pure Data + TouchOSC for iPad.
ted in how to solve the problem keeping the structure of the grasshopper document as is in my example:
In reality, the project I'm working on is actually much more complex. In a nutshell, I have a bunch of parameters that determine the shape of a building (like the number of floors, dimensional ratios etc...). Then I perform a series of analysis on that model using some plugins, such as a solar radiation analysis with LadyBug etc. What I need is to create a spreadsheet in which I associate those initial parameters with the output of the analysis. A spreadsheet that would enumerate all the possible cases: for 4 floors, the solar radiation is 100, for 5 floors, the solar radiation is 97, for 6 floors is... I need a method to automate this process so I don't have to move the sliders and record the output manually, as each iteration requires quite some time to be computed and needs more than one slider to be adjusted.I've decided to bring up a way simpler example than the whole thing, in which I replaced all the complex geometry generation/analysis components with a simple multiplication component to avoid cluttering the thread with irrelevant logic...…
am doing the paneling tutorial from the first primer..pg 88. i baked it but while selecting the multiple geometries i cannot select individual ones, they are selected as surfaces..is that ok or .....?

curve B
B1--------------------------B0
You define distances:
|A0 B0|
|A0 B1|
|A1 B0|
|A1 B1|
And find the smallest one. Then, based on the number of the shortest distance:
Flip A, Leave B
Flip A, Flip B
Leave A, Leave B
Leave A, Flip B
A more advanced metric would be to create all 4 blends, then pick the one that is shortest. Maybe that works better for what you want, maybe not.
