e some questions.
I want to loop with a foreach loop trough a list of points do i have to make a list before or is it possible to use them coming in from a noed i set the access to list?
Also i dont understand why no plane is created. How do i need to feed the points in?
And why is c# expecting open parens in line 88 and 86?
Hope its not to much at once, probably i should try a few less steps to get the problems solved one by one, just hoped it would be easier and sometimes just a parentesis is missing or some format stuff, so maybe it is not so much i really cant say.
If anybody has the time and feels he wants to help it would be nice on the other hand i understand cause of the amount of chaotic questions.
Regards!…
ss lots of questions,Hope guys show me some more different ways to figure out thoes kinds of problems,Thanks.
That is a construction project,the balconies should be overhang between 1 to 3 meters.
Program A is a patten consist of increasing balconies as the floors get upper.(In the picture is 29 at the first floor and ended with 2 more balconies for each floor, )Each part for a different floor,the twelfth floor have 29+(12-1)*2=51 balconies.
Questions From A,
A1:How to use the {(series)} to creat this atrium,As the floors increase the number of the balconies change by arithmetic progression.
A2:How to control the angle of the balconies,both the angle with floor and the balconies ending part.
Program B is use line to shape the commercial atrium,program A is more small pieces of rectangles.The {(TweenCrv)} command.
Questions From B,
B1:How to draw random points between the 1 to 3 meters region of the balcony,And those point form a shape also belongs to that region.
B2:Use a curve or other ways to control the changing speed of each floors' balcony.Right now the balcony is a Linear change.
Thanks for your Help.
Q1:Is there a way in Grasshopper to control the model to Modulus,less different unit parts to build such a Atrium.(For Exanple,only use 900mm and 600mm two different width of the Glass railings to bulid the model A OR B)…
n make it possible to Motivation generate
a variety of interesting objects, from abstract fractals to plant-like
branching structures, their modeling power is quite limited. A major
problem can be traced to the reduction of all lines to integer multiples
of the unit segment. As a result, even such a simple figure as an
isosceles right-angled triangle cannot be traced exactly, since the ratio
of its hypotenuse length to the length of a side is expressed by the irrational
number √2. Rational approximation of line length provides only
a limited solution, because the unit step must be the smallest common

√2
denominator of all line lengths in the modeled structure. Consequently,
the representation of a simple plant module, such as an internode, may
require a large number of symbols. The same argument applies to angles.
Problems become even more pronounced while simulating changes
to the modeled structure over time, since some growth functions cannot
be expressed conveniently using L-systems. Generally, it is difficult

to capture continuous phenomena, since the obvious technique of discretizing
continuous values may require a large number of quantization
levels, yielding L-systems with hundreds of symbols and productions.
Consequently, model specification becomes difficult, and the mathematical
beauty of L-systems is lost.
In order to solve similar problems, Lindenmayer proposed that numerical
parameters be associated with L-system symbols [83]. He illustrated
this idea by referring to the continuous development of branching
structures and diffusion of chemical compounds in a nonbranching filament
of Anabaena catenula.
The following is an example of its application:
starting string: A
p1: A F(1)[+A][-A]
P2: F(s) F(s*R)
which I think is basically trying to say
F(s) = move forwar a step of length s > 0.

ther math and logic. i can usually conceptualise what i want to do and cobble some semi working thing together but don't know which components to use and how to patch it. so i'm super happy to have someone who knows what he's doing to find this interesting.
and i'm glad you mention the fanned frets again, there is one input parameter that's still missing for the multiscale frets to be fully parametric, it's the angle of the nut or which fret should be straight. it depends a bit on personal preferences and playing posture what is more comfortable. so being able to adjust this easily would be cool. again i have no idea how the maths for that work or if you can just rotate each fret the same amount around it's middle point. The input either as fret number (for the straight fret) or as a simple slider from bridge to nut should do as input setting.
Here are the two extremes and the middle ground:
i've been thinkin today while analysing your patches and cleaning up my mess what exactly the monster should do.
Here are the input parameters needed, i think it's the complete list
scale length low E string
scale length high e string
fret angle/straight fret
string width at nut
string width at bridge
number of frets
fretboard overhang at nut (distance from string to fretboard bounds)
fretboard overhang at last fret
string gauges
string tensions
fretboard radius at nut (for compound radius fretboard radius at bridge is calculated with the stewmac formula)
fretwire crown width
fretwire crown height
action height at nut (distance between bottom of string and fretwire crown top)
action height at last fret
pickup 1 neck position
pickup 2 middle position
pickup 3 bridge position
nut width
the pickup positions should be used to draw circles for the magnet poles on each string so they are perfectly aligned and can be used for the pickup flatwork construction. ideally they would need a rotation control aligning the center line of the pickup so it's somewher between the last fret angle and bridge angle. personally i do this visually depending on the design i'm looking for, some people have huge theories on pickup positioning but personally i don't believe in it.
that should result in everything needed to quickly generate all the necessary construction curves or geometry for nut/fingerboard/frets/pickups. this is the core of what makes a guitar work, the more precise this dynamic system is the better the guitar plays and sounds.
i posted another thread trying to understand how i could use datasets form spreadsheets,databse, csv to organize the input parameters. What would make sense for the strings for example is hook into a spreadsheet with the different string sets, i attached one for the d'Addario NYXL string line which basically covers all combos that make sense.
The string tension is an interesting one, and implmenting it would sure be overkill albeit super interesting to try. it should be possible to extrapolate from the scale length of each string what the tension for a given string gauge of that string would be so that you could say 'i want a fully balanced set' or 'heavy top light bottom) and it would calculate which SKU from d'addario would best match the required tension. All the strings listed in the spreadsheet are available as single strings to buy.
i'm trying to reorganize everything which helps me understand it. i just discovered the 'hidden wires' feature which is great since once i understood what a certain block does or have finished one of my own, i can get the wires out of the way to carry on undistracted. a bit risky to hide so many wires but it makes it so much easier not to get completely lost :-)
btw, the 'fanned fret' term is trademarked, some guy tried to patent it in the 80's which is a bit silly since it has been done for centuries. there is a level of sophistication above this as well, check out http://www.truetemperament.com/ and that really is something else. it really is astounding how superior the tuning is on those wigglefrets, the problem is that it's rather awkward for string bending and also you can't easily recrown or level the frets when they are used. …
