Bit Platforms
OOo 3.0,built by Sun, is built for a 32 bit Windows but also runs on 64 bit. To run cli applications on 64 bit one needs to have the 32bit .Net Framework installed (version 3.5 as of OOo 3.0). The application must be built for the x86 platform (see platform switch of csc.exe), otherwise it will not run. If it uses anycpu or x64 then the application will be loaded in a 64 bit process. In order to connect to OOo and creating the bridge, the process must load a couple of dlls from OOo, which are 32 bit dlls. This does not work and a System.BadImageFormatException is thrown.
So, to use the spreadsheet components that use OpenOffice I think you will need Rhino 4.0 or the 32-bit version of Rhino 5.

te some implications and questions so I will go one by one:
"Now I would like to use a single VRay material as a template for creating multiple identical materials"I hope this will work, but as VRay does not expose any SDK, I would not guarantee any specific result.
"Now I need to add them to the document material table"This is done with a reference to a document instance, such as the one you get with the code doc.Materials (both in C# and Vb.Net).
"I'm not going to learn C# to modify his script"That's a pity, it would be nice to pass on this troublemaker to somebody else! :)Btw, C# and Vb.Net are very very similar. This script could be written in Vb.Net too.
"Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference. (line 96)"This only means that you need to access the Materials property on an instance, not on the type (class) name. Change that line using what is written at point 2.
"Do I understand that the material has to be assigned to a particular object in order to enter the Material Table?"No it does not. But if you call the _Purge command it will be removed if it does not have an object that references it.
"Can I assign it to a Layer instead?"You do not need to. But this would be achieved with doc.Layers[whichLayer].RenderMaterialIndex = materialIndex; in C# or doc.Layers(whichLayer).RenderMaterialIndex = materialIndex in Vb.Net.
"Any ideas? A better way to do this?"If you found a way to bypass the VRay SDK not being there, this should work.
"Giulio's component has a type hint defined as a Material"It does not any longer. The hint was there in earlier versions of Grasshopper, but now the hint has disappeared. This is not so bad, and it is also the only way you would be able to use either a Material instance already or a string for a material name.
"How was that done?"Probably it was done in an older version of Grasshopper. But which version are you using?
"I can't figure out how to cast the input as a Rhino.DocObjects.Material, so you can see that I have cast it as a compatible type in the first 2 lines... is there a cleaner way?"That sounds like a good way actually. Be sure your component responds properly when something wrong is inputted, though.Dim mTemp As Rhino.DocObjects.Material = CType(M, Rhino.DocObjects.Material)in one line might also work. See msdn for more conversion operators and functions.
I hope this helps,

your surface in order to do it with more control points, these new points will be attracted by curves and moved on z by a factor depending on distance from curve, changed by graph mapper and by a constant thickness. This will give you 2 surfaces, one unchanged an another on the top. These surfaces will be closed by lofting their edges and joined.
The closed surface will be meshed and send to bowerbird waffle.
…
pper, it appears that half of the surfaces are now flipped (normals now pointing to the inside of the polysurface). I've tried to use a guide surface, I tried offsetting points along the normal to test for inclusion and then flip. I've even tried to flip normals manually by mutliplying the normal by -1.0...no matter what I try, can't seem to get all surfaces to be in the same orientation. Any insight would be appreciated...

Rhino SR6 on win xp
Grasshopper version 0.6.0019
Thanks!

n to finding a concave contour polyline (which is in general what you need). In your case each contour section contains a series of points of which you do not know the order and you need to sort them so that by connecting them you find the contour. This is fairly easy to do when the contour is convex (basically you find the average point then calculate the vectors from the average to the points and sort the vectors by angle - sorting the points by the same angle gives you the right order for the contour), but generally impossible to find uniquely when the contour is concave (PS: convex means that, for ANY 2 points inside the figure, a straight line connecting them doesn't intersect with the border curve - i.e. circles, ellipses, rectangles, triangles - concave shapes are a star, a crescent moon, an arrow, a boomerang, etc.).
The problem goes like this: given a generic list of points:
Each of these configurations for a perimeter equally fits the above:
Laurent already went for another possible solution, the stochastic approach (by subdividing the connecting lines), I slightly adjusted a few things over his solution:
namely, I added a rounding option to adjust for some weird tolerance issues (some points that should be at Y=80 were at Y=79.99998 or something) and a more straightforward solution to group them by section plane using sets logic. This, coupled with alpha shape, gives a quite good approach, still very coarse in terms of results but that depends on the sampling resolution of the field (i.e. number of height sections in which you calculate the metaballs) and sampling length of the connecting lines.

Diffraction , I left it, how it is.
For the unusual issues that comes in the image source component, so, is it something strange? But, I still have the same issues when I sets any integer component (single or multiple) in the “reflection order” of the image source component, in the “image source order” in the ray tracing component, and again, when I connect the output “Direct sound data” of Direct Sound component in the Energy Time Curve.
Do I wrong something with the integer component? I used it already in the first parts, for sets “grasshopper layers”, in the “Scene” component, but here it works. Should I start with a new file?
For the multi-object optimization, thank you for all suggestions. Yes, I red PHD thesis work of Tomas Mendez and the article “ EDT, C80 and G Driven Auditorium design” and still others. Thank you to all these articles, I decided where to focus my thesis.
I understand the potential of Multi-object optimization, and problems that I can finding without using it. Actually, in the beginning of my thesis, I tried to jet in contact with the Politecnico di Torino, but was not easy because I’m not a Politecnico student.
Here, in University of Florence (Building engineering), there isn’t a department or someone that is already familiar with these field of study, so, as you can image, for design my thesis, I can confide on online resources. So far, my Professor suggest me to begin with a Nonlinear Global optimization like Galapagos, and only after see the multi-object. In this way, step by step if something doesn’t work is easier to understand way and where something is going wrong: if are problems due to the setting of the programs, because we are not practical about these, or if there is a wrong in the simulations or in the algorithm and ect.
Do you think is a good way for go on?
Thank you very much,
Kind Regards
Giulia

intersection-elements (01/AA etc)
To get a result from RInt i do have to flatten the first set and do have to graft the second. Therefore i can only retrieve the parent-information from the second set.
I hope i could explain my problem and somebody has an easy solution on hand...
