The first sponsored challenge is to create a parametric version of Buckminster Fuller’s Dymaxion House.
It would be AWESOME to see it done in Grasshopper! And.. You can win a pretty sweep HP desktop plotter. The deadline is this Friday.
Hope to see you on the site and look for some new GH and RhinoScript videos coming soon.
Thanks,
Dave…

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…
raries folder, seems that you need plankton.gha.
Unlock, place in folder, restart rhino+gh...
That's all.
To use it... in a basic way:
Input 0. Plug geometry.
Input 1. Set target resolution, actually it refers to the mesh edge length.
Optional input 2 and 3. Sets anchors (as points or curves) for the remeshing not escape of these parts.
Input penultimate. Number of iterations. Here are two ways, the living form, you set a low value (as 5 or 10) of iterations and plug in a timer component (that allows you to see the remesh process); or just add the total number of iterations (I generally use 80, but its relative).
The last input, set false to turn it on, true to turn it off.
For advanced configuration, trial and error, or see the code on Pikers's github.…

It has just failed to do that. Try the following two fixes: 1) Sometimes due to large number of requests, the component fails to download the OSM data even if openstreetmap.org website and their services are up and running.In this case, wait a couple of seconds and try rerunning the component. 2) Try lowering the "radius_" input.

- 100.
After that, I want to separate it into 5 different lists in spesific thickness.
in this case of 0-100 so it would be :
1. if the distance 0 - 20 then the thickness is 5
2. if the distance 21 - 40 then the thickness is 10
3. if the distance 41 - 60 then the thickness is 15
4. if the distance 61 - 80 then the thickness is 20
5. if the distance 81 - 100 then the thickness is 25
But, the problem is the list of distance isn't static between 0-100. It could be 5 - 250 / 3.5-175/etc.....
Could you help me how to make the expression?? Is this possible if I make one expression?
thank you.
Z.
nb: distance and thickness hasn't mathematical relation.…

a with high impact and far from easy to customize.
I'm trying to use and understand the Dragonfly_Boundary_Layer_Parameters block, whose parameter setting seems to have a huge impact on the UHI results. In particular the nightBndLayerHeight parameter. First of all, the default value in the doc (800m) does not correspond to the one in the code (80m). After having set it at 800m with a constant block, the RunUWG component doesn't run until the end, giving the following error message : "Error in ReferenceSite/VerticalDifussionModel (line 141) / Error in xml_new (line 394)". It seems that some combinaisons of nightBndLayerHeight / referenceHeight work (80 / 100 or 800 / 800) and others not (800 / 100).
Does that comes from the model preparation? Or the UWG algorithm itself?
I tried to find for some "tables" linking these weather layers to the different urban typologies... without success. Would have someone ref / paper recommandations?
Kind regards,
Rom

) function if you've already got a boolean value.
This expression:
x < 12
results in exactly the same things as this expression:
If( x < 12, True, False )
If() is only really useful when you want to return non-boolean data, like so:
If( x < 12, x, 100-x )
In this case, the expression will return either x, or 100-x if x is larger than or equal to 12:
x result
1 1
2 2
10 10
11 11
12 88
13 87

orward polygon modelling combined with a subdivision surface method to smooth the modelled polygon control cage (see this andthis).
The Weaver Bird plug-in has several methods for subdividing and smoothing a mesh including the probably best known method Catmull-Clark as well as laplacian smoothing.
Although Grasshopper is becoming better at handling mesh construction and modelling you might want to consider packages such as 3ds Max, Maya, Modo or Blender for doing the initial cage (they all have most of the standard tools one would except from a polygon modeller). For Rhino there is also the funky fusion between subdivision surfaces and NURBS called T-Splines (gave it a spin a few weeks back, has some pretty decent polygon modelling tools actually).…
