ted by tool conversion, but it seems to be strange because when i put the same file into ECOtect Weather Tool i can run weather data graphs, like this one:
I hope you can help me. Thank you in advance.
(i attached my epw file, by Notepad++ i noticed too many "question marks")

ive 'correct' normal.
Non-normalized cross products is effectively weighting face normals by area, and is fast and simple, so we put that one as the default.
In some cases normalizing the cross-products improves the result, but not always.
Another option is to weight by angles, though this is computationally slightly more expensive, so might not be ideal for real-time updates on large meshes.
As an example, here is a mesh with a 90° corner, and uneven meshing on the 2 sides.
The arrows show:
0- Area weighted (non-normalized cross products)
1- Angle weighted
2- Normalized cross-products
Here the angle-weighted normal is the one at 45°, which is intuitively the 'best' one in this case.
These 3 seem to be the most commonly used, but there are many other possible definitions of normals - such as inverse-area weighted, mean curvature, etc...
I think really what would be best would be to put a few of these into Plankton, and include an optional argument in GetNormal for selecting which one you need for a particular application.
Pull requests welcome if you feel inspired to add this!

pts organize in a data tree without losing the data structure. To create a folding surface as per image attach.
1. Replace items (to create a gradient) / Like the weight culling example.
Path {0} replace all indexes with a new value (a)
Path {1} replace 90% indexes with a new value (a)
Path {2} replace 80% indexes ...
2. Decrease value (a) in relation to path number
3. After Replace the above items value with
for even path number {0,2,...} replace items with a negative number
Did not find a easy way to create data tree that would achieve the above inside GH.
Point 2 & 3 are easy but i could not found a simple solution for points 1.
At the moment the only way i found is to create the list in Excell manually and import/ export or to create a list on indices for each path.
Any hint appreciated.
Might need to wait for the number slider or path mapper to accept input or notation ?

us allows Grasshopper authors to stream geometry to the web in real time. It works like a chatroom for parametric geometry, and allows for on-the-fly 3D model mashups in the web browser. Multiple [Grasshopper] authors can stream geometry into a shared 3D environment on the web – a Platypus Session – and multiple viewers can join that session on 3dplatyp.us to interact with the 3D model. Platypus can be used to present parametric 3D models to a remote audience, to quickly collaborate with other Grasshopper users, or both!
You can down load the Grasshopper plugin at food4rhino, and visit 3dplatyp.us to view your geometry on the web. This first round of Alpha testing will run for two weeks, until April 24 2014, after which the Grasshopper components will not solve.
We are very interested in hearing feedback from the community while the project is still in the prototyping stages of development. Please use the comments on this discussion to ask questions, suggest ideas, report bugs, etc. We are planning on rolling out another public alpha release or two this Spring, depending on how this first one goes, in advance of our Technology Symposium and Hackathon in New York.
Check out our getting started video below, and enjoy!

e rod with circular section (no goals allow for controlling torsion for what I know). The rods are set with two options, with straight rest position or the (initial) bent one. The calibration integrated with the model is more about giving a scale between the forces rather than the will to accurately simulate them (at the moment). Anyway, I am trying to do it on a macro scale, instead of a micro, with elements which are rather thin.
The system at the moment is not stable. In fact, besides the rods' characteristics is quite fundamental to keep them planar when they intersect. I am lacking something but also probably missing some parameters. In the script, there are two goals to define this: impose 90° between vertical and horizontal, as well as between these and a normal to their intersection. For my understanding, angle goal works tri-dimensionally without a preferred plane and this (hopefully) should address it.
Just wondering if anyone can give me a hint on this. After this step, it would be great to understand if the system can get out of its plane (through a pull force out of its plane, simulated in the script through point loads in the joints). I am still not entirely sure about the possibility of doing this. By looking at how other auxetic patterns have been used to generate freeform surfaces, I am giving it a try.
Thank you
Claudio
PS: I noticed also this post and this, really interesting. I see the problematic over the stability and the necessity to separate the states with an energetic hill in the first, as well as some potential in using auxetics in the latter.…
opening a simple file with 30 curves being lofted took like 2 minutes to complete and Rhino crashed afterwards saying:"Windows is out of memory and Rhino will close after you click ok."evethough I still had 7GB of free physical memory and my page file is set also to 16 GB just to be shure...I then switched to Rhino 5.0 Version 5 SR14 64-bit (5.14.522.8390, 05/22/2017) which also had big problems to display the lofted surface. It was unresponsive after loading the file for a minute and a half and then it normally displayed the lofted surface. Every move of camera takes at least 10 seconds to update, but at least it runs. GH profiler says the loft took only 12 ms (90%).
So I'm suspected my graphics card, because the Windows are just three weeks from a clean install. I've also updated my Graphics Driver from the stock Windows one to Intel HD one, but nothing changed.Is there something I'm missing??? What can I try next?My specs:CPU: i5-3320M @ 2.60 GHzRAM: 16 GBGPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000, driver: 07.04. 2017, version 10.18.10.4653

ty lots as extrusions with their height depending on perimeter length. Then I added a 'Cull Duplicates' group to avoid properties that had duplicate 'Area' centroid points. That reduced the number of properties from 364 down to 331, though five of those have 'Area' values between 88 and 205, ten have values less than 500 while the average is ~1.3 million!
So the data is still suspect. Some appear to be nested inside of others? But using those 331 properties, I now find 32 that intersect the 'Zoning Districts'. But that's not the same as a list of properties that span two or more 'Zoning Districts'... Not having fun anymore. :)

ts. Ideally, I'd like to set the exact number of points populating the region, ie 211 in GH = 211 visible in rhino.
(I was able to achieve the exact number of points using populate2d instead of sdivide, but could only get this to work with a simple rectangular region)
2) After I have exactly 211 points, I'd like to populate each of the points with a block made in rhino (for example: the stick figure man seen in the view)
(One idea is that I build a dummy geometry and replace later with my block in rhino. But how do I make this change universally over the 211 points?)
