this:
Private Sub RunScript(ByVal pt1 As List(Of Point3d), ByVal pt2 As List(Of Point3d), ByRef A As Object)
Dim myLine As New Line
Dim arrLines As New List (Of Line)
For i As Integer = 0 To pt1.Count - 1
myLine = New Line (pt1(i), pt2(i))
arrLines.Add(myLine)
Next
A = arrLines
End Sub
I then get this error:
Error: Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'New' is most specific for these arguments: (line 90)
If I rewrite (and change the access to Items NOT List) to:
Private Sub RunScript(ByVal pt1 As Point3d, ByVal pt2 As Point3d, ByRef A As Object)
Dim myLine As New Line
myLine = New Line (pt1, pt2)
A = myLine
End Sub
..then it works pefectly!Is there a bug with accessing list items? Or have I been staring at the screen for too long and I'm missing something very obvious?!Thanks,Toby…
nal vector.(see pic 1)
Second: Holding an abstract mesh or surface with a 3D grid structure. Basically creating 90 degree vectors on an uneven surface coming out of the object, sort of like a cactus with a grid pattern. (see Pic 2)
Third: I think #1 answers this issue: when the lines hitting the rough surface go in two different grid directions, their intersecting points are too close together. Structurally these points can be united and the vectors would be reduced. Manually deleting these lines after being baked is currently the only option. It would be so cool if there was a mathematical arrangement that would connect points that are within a certain distance to one another. (see pic 3)
…
. since there are going to be multiple units facing different directions, each unit will be calculated differently based of their respective plane.
The following screenshots can explain the situation a little better
So Lets say the vector is pointing from the operating unit to the position of the sun, an the plane underneath is where I would like to measure the angle from
this second picture shows how each unit should function, so the measured angle doesn't exceed 90 degrees. what I did is zeroed the z value for the sun position to get a project vector. The problem with this solution is that it only works for XY planes, where I need to have a lot of planes that are specific for each unit and its orientation.
Help would be much appreciated…
problem is that the values of the isocurves are plotted not always in the same way: sometime parallel to the curves, sometime perpendicular.
In the following case, for example, i would like to turn the values of 90°(to get them parallel to the curves).
in order to have something like this:
How can i do that (without baking them)??
Thanks in advance

till quite rough.
I went through your attached log but it seems to be a successful run, perhaps the error log wasn't attached. In any case, I believe we have identified this issue. The goal of the update fvSchemes component was to apply schemes to finalized meshes in an automatic way. While this is useful for new users it is also a dangerous thing to do in CFD studies.
The component works by relating mesh quality to the mesh non-orthogonality, which the checkMesh component reports. While non-orthogonality is one of the important criteria of mesh quality it does present difficulties on some kind of meshes, especially like the simple cases that BF has been meshing so far.
The example case of simple box buildings in a wind tunnel above for instance will appear as a good quality case for even the lowest of cell-count meshes, simply because it is an orthogonal geometry. That means that checkMesh will probably report low values (imagine an empty blockMesh of 10m blocks has a non-orthogonality of 0) which in turn means that higher order schemes might be paired with actually low quality meshes. This I believe is causing problems.
I posted a possible solution to this here https://github.com/mostaphaRoudsari/Butterfly/issues/57. The idea is that Buttefly provides additional options to the users, enabling them to choose between first-order (faster, more robust, but lower quality schemes) and second-order (slower, less robust, but more accurate) schemes depending on mesh quality, stage of assessment, etc. In cases like the above mesh quality a first-order scheme might provide a better option. To test this I am attaching an fvSchemes file you can use by replacing yours in the /system folder of the case.
As a note however, I would like to stress there is so much that a tool like Butterfly can provide in this area. Meshing is a quite complicated and demanding part of the process, involving a lot of trial and error. Sometimes the problem is just the mesh and not the solution options (GIGO stands true in CFD as well). It does however get easier with experience. The safe advice is the simplest one: when changing solution options doesn't help, refine mesh and run again.
Kind regards,

Iván Ivanoff is an artist, programmer, and researcher. He searches for new forms of communication for the society of the future and is the director of different Media Labs worldwide. He founded the artistic collaborative i2off.org+r3nder.net, which develops multi-media and interactive projects, and Estado Lateral Media Lab to investigate and develop new technologies.
The Barra Funda district of São Paulo was once characterised by a mix of small industrial, commercial and residential programmes, but, as economic policies have favoured larger production industries, numerous companies have abandoned the area. In response, the workshop proposes the creation of new types of smaller industries to produce a mix of both consumption and production, manifested through micro-manufacturing interventions that can co-exist alongside retail and housing. Computational design and digital fabrication could be used to help create these new micro-industries, which in turn will help empower local craftsman to produce and sell directly to consumers through micro-manufacturing, located in small urban workshops.
The workshop will tap into emergent gallery scene of Barra Funda and local initiatives that use computational technology to introduce a new cultural and economic impetus. The workshop is a part of the International Festival of Electronic Language (FILE), an exhibition of interactive electronic technology, and will import these electronic technologies out of the galler, collaborating with local manufacturers, artists, and activists, with a goal of disseminating a high-tech yet low-cost and small-scale fabrication systems to promote this new micro-industrial movement. The workshop is open to architecture and design students and professionals worldwide.…

rasshopper (only compatible with IRC5 controllers). I made some tests with kinect and phones and tablets and it works (so if you have a good position for your kinect you can already know when a user is too close to the robot and stop the execution or slow it), but due to controller limitations I am now working on a different way of sending and managing data to the robot to minimise the latency of the system.
Galapagos will not allow you to switch between configurations and toolpaths, since configurations are computed by the IK solver and managed by several informations in the code, that can only be overrided or changed depending on the interpolation you use (MoveJ/MoveL/MoveAbsJ etc.). And once again, some configurations are not reachable depending on the rotation domains of certain joints (4th one for example) or also because linear interpolations cannot work for targets necessiting more than 90° of rotation. HAL computes by default the most "accessible" configurations in order to minimize 4th axis flip (which is a pain), and the next update will have a fix to allow to count the laps you do with the joints allowing more than 360° of rotation in order to prevent to reach the max values (otherwise the robot is locked and the application is stopped), there is a little bug on the 6th axis on the current version. IMHO these questions are much more important to solve for the design of your application than the approximaton of the workspace (it is very easy to measure the max radius of rotation, and singularities can always been reached using moveAbsJ).
By the way, all those things are not exactly trivial to solve (some are with the new verson of HAL, but not all of them), so depending on how far you need to go, I hope you don't have a deadline soon...…
eople use different methods and components was the way that I learnt most of what I know (and it might solve parts of other's problems)! It's always apparent from forum posts that everything is work in progress.
The "divide curve" components gives you tangents (T) to the curve at the points you've made. You want the perpendicular (right angle) to the curve, so need to rotate this vector around point on the curve (P) by 90 degrees or Pi/2 Radians .
It seems you're finding your lengths as required, but then passing them through a unit Y vector - so they are only ever going to move in the Y direction. You need to use an "Amplitude" component with the perpendicular vectors from above and the lengths you've calculated.
Before sweeping you'll need to properly align the rectangles such that they are also perpendicular to the curve.
