ou will see all of the available components on a ribbon at once so there is no need to keep clicking drop down menus.
It's all about discoverability with GH. What if you're a beginner and don't know about the Create Facility (dbl click canvas) how can you find Extr?
Even if you hover over every component or use the drop down lists you will not see the name Extr appear anywhere.
Sure it makes sense that Extr is short for Extrude but it's also the Nick Name of Extrude to Point component
So you can easily miss the fact that one has a Distance Input verses a Point Input.
I think I made the move to Icons around about the move from version 0.5 to 0.6, possibly before. I initially thought that I would go back to text because I loved the mono chromatic look of the text but I soon realised that Icons were the way forward. The greatest benefit is speed. You don't need to digest and decipher every component (which is written 90 degrees to the norm).
I'm not saying you should move to Icons forthwith but at least consider that once you have a better knowledge and understanding of GH, Icons will set you free.
My top ten tips that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to better themselves with GH.
1) Turn on Draw Icons
2) Turn on Draw Fancy Wires
3) Turn on Obscure Components
4) Use the Create Facility like a Command Line eg "Slider=-1<0.75<2" or "Shiftlist=-1"
5) Use Component Aliases to customise your use of the Create Facility eg giving the Point XYZ component an alias of XYZ will bring it up as the first option on the Create Facility as opposed to the other possibilities.
6) Try to answer other people's questions even if it's not relevant to your own area. By looking into solving a problem outside of your comfort zone and then posting your results it is very rewarding but it also lets you see the other approaches that get posted in a new light.
7) Take the time to understand Data/Path structures.
8) Buy a second monitor - There is nothing that can compare to real estate when working in Grasshopper.
9) Read Rajaa Issa's Essential Mathematics
10) Pick a panel in a tab on the ribbon and get to know every component inside and out and then move on. Start with the Sets Tab > List Panel…

i have to rely completely in passive means.
To speed things i'm calculating comfort for Extreme hot/cold week, thinking maybe on typical weeks instead.
The cool week is kind of "right", but the hot (extreme) is giving all night hours 100% comfort. Knowing the climate, there is no way this can be the case. Some of the settings with the european standards give sometimes the right tendency, but still, compared to ASHRAE's the average of % percentage is too high.
Also my assumptions for flexibility of use/clothing/etc is the maximal. I mean, no constrains on this respect ("let's be passive as much as we can").
So right now i have no specific questions, but rather your advice, if any: "What you would do ...?? (I don't like these kind of questions, sorry).
A request, yes, if it is possible to output the set temperature for each hour. For instance, when you give the degFromTargetMtx i'll like to know this target. This is for control, and i think this is important for better understanding this black box.
Any other insights you may have, just shoot.
Not related to the discussion, but if you happened to check the model, we are simulating 2 apartments in the building. The northern one is only one thermal zone. The southern is divided in rooms. I wanted to see how much difference e get between both ways. And there is. No doubt the more detailed modeling looks more reliable. Also if you have some points here, shoot again.
BTW humidity, look at page 32-33 in the AC book. Nicol is clear on the "real" influence of the humidity, arguing it is mostly psychological than real.
Thanks again, and to you too Mauricio.

ra' nella finestra di Grasshopper, in alto, insieme agli altri set di componenti come 'Params', 'Maths', ecc.
Si tratta di un esperimento per cercare di ampliare in qualche modo l'ambito di utilizzo di Grasshopper.
Come sappiamo Grasshopper e' nato per consentire l'utilizzo parametrico di Rhino. Le definizioni di Grasshopper permettono di registrare i passi necessari per costruire gli oggetti, nonche' di variare i dati utilizzati dalla definizione, ad esempio oggetti geometrici, lunghezze, angoli, ecc.
Quando modifichiamo i valori utilizzati dalla definizione Grasshopper automaticamente ricalcola il tutto e ci mostra la preview del risultato.
A questo punto, se il risultato e' soddisfacente, possiamo dire a Grasshopper di inserire gli oggetti in questione nel documento di Rhino, cosicche' li vedremo apparire nelle viste come veri e proprii oggetti Rhino.
Questo modo di lavorare ha avuto un grande successo tra gli utilizzatoti di Rhino, rendendo molto piu' agevole la costruzione di oggetti nel caso in cui sia necessario procedere per tentativi, verificando il risultato prima di stabilire la forma finale da ottenere.
Il successo di Grasshopper pero' ha anche mostrato quanto sia comodo poter definire graficamente le procedure di costruzione, e in generale poter utilizzare Rhino tramite i componenti, ad esempio gli slider, che tutti noi, suppongo, vorremmo avere a disposizione anche quando usiamo Rhino nel modo classico tramite pulsanti e comandi.
Quindi col passare del tempo sono apparsi sempre piu' Add-on per Grasshopper che permettono di eseguire operazioni particolari o anche di utilizzare Grasshopper in ambiti diversi dal concetto originale di 'History programmabile'. Accodandosi a questa tendenza, edoc prova a costruire dei componenti che permettano di operare direttamente sugli oggetti Rhino, cioe' curve, superfici, layer ecc. appartenenti al documento Rhino su cui stiamo lavorando. L'idea e' permettere di utilizzare la comoda interfaccia utente di Grasshopper anche per operazioni che solitamente sono eseguite in modo tradizionale con pulsanti e comandi, o anche tramite script.
Come gia' detto, e' un esperimento. I componenti nascono, muoioni e cambiano molto spesso, nel tentativo di capire cosa puo' essere utile e cosa puo' fuzionare o meno.
Segnalazioni di bug, suggerimenti, considerazioni ecc. sono benvenuti.
se qualche anima pia volesse tradurre questa presentazione gli faremo un monumento equestre!
grazie e scusate

nza dal centro delle facce ad un punto fisso per determinare quant'è il valore dell'offset per quella faccia.
Prova questa soluzione per ora:
- abilita il componente disattivato all'inizio;
- il componente curve offset non funziona bene, domani vedo se riesco a crearne uno migliore;
- inforna (bake) la brep risultante e convertila in mesh da rhino;
- per dargli spessore, fai l'offset solido della mesh in rhino per l'ultima fase, funziona meglio.
I've used the distance from the center of the faces to a fixed point to determine the value of the offset.
Try like this:
- enable the first component disabled;
- offset curve don't work perfectly, I'll try to fix it maybe...
- bake the brep and convert it into mesh in rhino;
- for the thickness, do a solid offset of the mesh in rhino for last phase, it just works better.…
n account of the position of the sun and weather cannot be expressed in terms of a single set of luminous intensity values (which is what IES files do).
With regards to your example files, I agree with Chris. The primary reason for the low illuminance levels is that the light bounces are getting lost in the tube. Have you checked with the manufacturer/distributor if the location of the IES file should be inside the tube and not flush with the ceiling? Physically modelling such tubes in lighting software like Radiance (which is what HB uses) or AGI32 is a fairly expensive proposition. This is one of the reasons why manufacturers provide photometric data for such devices (however simplistic that data might be).
The candelamultiplier increases or decreases the luminous intensity values. So it will have a direct impact on the calculation. The primary reason for having that input was to enable users to do some testing with different lamp types and environmental factors such as dirt depreciation. You need not change them for your simulation. Assuming that the IES file is inside the tube, in order to make this calculation work inside HB you'd have to crank up the calculation settings to a very high level (start with -ab 10 -ad 4096).
Finally, due to shortcomings in the annual simulation software (Daysim), IES files will not work directly work with annual calculations. However, there is a fairly easy workaround for that issue. In case you are planning to run annual calculations with IES files, please let us know here.

me research involving shades and and solar radiation and I need the sun's path through the entire year to fully optimize the design. This far I've been able to simulate what I want by having my shadders following a mock solar orbit around them, what I need to know is to use a model that simulates solar paths, use it as an attractor point and have my shadding surfaces follow it, pretty much like that I am doing right now (or so I think)
Here's where my questions come around:
I remember finding somewhere on the internet a definiton that simulates the sun's path through the year; I think I can find it again and use it for my purposes. I think that I could just run the GH definition, bake the geometry and then upload it to Ecotect and have it run so I can get the data and keep working over that, then feed the geometry again to Ecotect, ad nauseam. However I think that is a very slow process.
Is there a way that I can run an Ecotect plug in of sorts within GH, that way I can get my data IN grasshopper and model accordingly?
Does that make sense?
Thanks a lot for any input.…
