S!! I could save a lot of time if i did.
I recommend to add the install OF Readme to the recommendations thread. Specially people need to pay attention to the prerequisites (virtualization). Second of all, in case you uninstall and reinstall, before the later, be sure you delete the c:\users\YOUR_USER_NAME\.docker and .VirtualBox. It took me 3 installations and 2 uninstalls to make it work.
Now i have a question not related to the thread. Once i get the results, how can i use them without running again. This is a very dumb question, but i don't see the right component and input to do so.
And another thing. It is me or after the simulation is done (in the BF_simpleFoam) the GH canvas is behaving slowish? You can sense it pretty much.
Hagit: Not stuck :-). It is working. Tomorrow i'll try the outdoor example, which i see is your case.
Thanks,
-A.…
This definition is designed for an outdoor study (an indoor example will follow shortly). It also includes a hopefully more user friendly UI that allows the user to set all the necessary inputs for the simulation and run the case without using the actual GH definition.
To use this example to its full extent, along with Butterfly (details on installations can be found here https://github.com/mostaphaRoudsari/Butterfly/wiki/Getting-Started-with-butterfly) you will also need the HumanUI tools (http://www.food4rhino.com/project/human-ui?ufh). However, HUI isn't necessary if you are only interested in the BF part of the definition which will still run.
Butterfly, and the example itself, is still a work in progress. I hope it can inspire people to get involved, test things out, and help it improve!
Kind regards,
Theodore.
P.S.: Add the path of the attached butterfly logo's location in your computer in the definition for a more buggy feeling :)

sier to print them on an A3 sheet for example. Very practical, i know, not very exciting, but I'm pretty excited about using Grasshopper to make these types of tasks super efficient.
This was working well with the previous version of grasshopper. I've updated to the new one today and have a problem i can't seem to fix.
I have 10 Floor Plates produced from the Section. I have 16 points on the grid. I wish to use Orient to place to first floor at the first point, the second floor at the second point etc. I assume I have to use 'shortest list' , because i don't want the top floor repeated to fill the points available on the grid. When i use shortest list i only get all the floor plates at the first point.
When i use 'longest list' at orient, the floor plate aligned to the grid point does shift but all the floors are carried with it, and of course all 16 points fill.
If you have any suggestions or time to have a quick look at the attached files it would be great.
As i said this was working perfectly with the last version....perhaps I'm missing something really obvious?
Thanks, Mark.…
raw a single line that intersects them all. I'm also not certain what the metric for "closest" would be if you have more than three lines all intersecting each other. What groups of three can you find here:
This is not just splitting hairs, when designing a new algorithm it is important to always figure out whether:
There is ever a case with more than one possible solution.
There is ever a case with no possible solutions.
Does the algorithm change the state of the problem while it runs, i.e. whether run order matters.

o spend some time thinking about it. Also, I would like to see graphic precedents of how you think you will show your project. Please create a pdf.
Desk Crits:
We will be working on your projects in class this week. You will be required to work in class until at least 9 PM and you must meet with me before you go to get credit for the class. If it reaches 9 and I have not seen you - you can either stay (if you want a desk crit) or go if you do not need to see me. List is reverse from last week:

more about book keeping inside a single document. For example: first tab would be UI, second would be formatting, others would be different modules of my script. I have to push stuff around all the time and even with groups or alt-drag it takes a while.
In Excel a sheet is a very large 2d array, but you can add a third dimension by adding sheets and access them with =Sheet2!A1 (3 coordinates : Sheet2 , A , 1)
So sheet are just 2d slices in a 3d array for visualization.
Processing is not such a good example, it's just pages in your code that are executed one after another, but still it's good for clarity : one tab with "setup", one with "draw", one with functions, one with classes etc
Since you're an architect, think of my tabs as the storeys of a building. there are horizontal as well as vertical wires.
I figured you could add a "vertical wire" that could eventually act as a cluster in/outputs for export etc
Just an idea anyway…
t of the bumblebee components. This component does the conversion in vb with no reference to excel, so excel does not need to be running. The XL address has been updated as well so it no longer needs a link to excel.
Also, I caught an error in the address component where the domain input "Location" was reversing the column and row values, this has been fixed.
