Data – how it’s stored, accessed, and associated – is the threshold that separates you from fluid execution and powerful routines in Grasshopper. Beginning with a presentation on the main principles of working with Data Trees, this webinar will incrementally unpack a diverse set of Data-related techniques through a series of “live” exercises. With two instructors offering guided curriculum and continuous support it is our goal to provide you with an in-depth and personal learning experience. Additional topics covered will include: what is a Data Structure, why Data Trees look the way they do, and how to navigate, manipulate, and grow your Data Tree in an organized way.
Topics:
What are Data Trees? What do all of those index values mean?
If I have a Data Tree, How can I precisely navigate through it?
My Data Tree is wild! How can I tame it and make its structure clear?
What else are Trees good for? How can I use my Data Tree to create unique labels?

ning with a presentation on the main principles of working with NURBS surfaces, this webinar will incrementally unpack a diverse set of surface-related techniques through a series of “live” exercises with Grasshopper. With two instructors offering guided curriculum and continuous support it is our goal to provide you with an in-depth and personal learning experience. Additional topics covered will include: how to move through “surface space”, creating and analyzing simple surface panels, and how to create custom panels on a surface.
Topics:
What is a Surface? How do I make one and what are its parts?
Wait!.. A Surface has its own Space? How can I navigate this Space?
How can I divide my Surface into Panels? Can I ensure they are flat -or- How do I keep them curvy?
I just tested all of my Panels for planarity but what do those numbers mean? How can I more intuitively visualize the results?
Now I have simple Panels, but can I create my own custom Panel Object at each original Panel location?

ice 2007. So I went out and bought Office 2010, and all my Excel interopservices vb.net scripts are now failing. They had all worked fine before...now when I execute they give the following error:
error: Invalid class string (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800401F3 (CO_E_CLASSSTRING)) (line: 0)
Here's the boiled down script:
If activate = True Then
Dim oldCI As System.Globalization.CultureInfo = system.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")
Dim xlApp As Object
xlApp = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application")
Dim xlSheet As Object
xlSheet = xlApp.ActiveSheet
xlSheet.Range("A1").Value = "test"
End If
The failure happens with the addition of the InteropServices line. I'm mid-project right now, and it's pretty critical that I regain the ability to go back and forth from GH to Excel in the scripting environment...does anyone know if I need to deactivate any security options in Windows, make sure any dll's are properly installed...anything? I've tried all of the other Excel components that various users here have already been generous enough to share (my scripts are all based on them). I can't seem to find any documentation (that I understand) about this particular error message, or how to fix it. Really could use a little help!
thanks in advance,
Dave…

is post on the same subject: http://www.radiance-online.org/pipermail/radiance-general/2008-March/004856.html
But I don't understand exactly how to assign the materials to the surface.
When I use the Honeybee_CreateHBSrfs component it gives me an error:
1. Solution exception:Faild to import void glass glass_alt_mat003 0.96 0.96 0.96
void brightfunc glass_angular_effect2 A1+(1-A1)*(exp(-5.85*Rdot)-0.00287989916) .01 0.08
glass_angular_effect mirror glass_mat1 glass_alt_mat03 1 1 1
Have you ever solved the same issue? If possible, how would you simulate this effect with Honeybee?
Any help would be appreciated…

Each z value is used multiple times with a list of x,y values. That second number is the index of the list of points for the z value, and the following ordered pairs are the x,y values.
I attached my script, which outputs each line of data as a branch containing the points on that line (paired with the z value at the start of the line). The paths output are {0;0;#} where # ranges from 0 to 799. I'd like to collect all the lines with the same z values into one branch, however, resulting in something like {0;$;#} where $ ranges from 0 to 7 (the number of different z values) and # ranges from 0 to 99 (the number of lists of points associated with each z value), rather than having them all compressed into one list.
I'm reading the input line by line, but if I read it all at once, I could create a loop that examines each line's z value and stores the line into a list specific to that z value, then output all those lists of lists as a list/DataTree? Is that what you are suggesting, David Stasiuk? …

y to heaven (or hell) is full of pain,frustration and tears. In plain English: if you are not totally committed (and willing to pay the heavy price) ... well ... what about forgetting all that freaky stuff? (the best option, trust me)
Note: 99% of beginners dream to learn programing in order to make geometry. But the truth is that this is the least (and rather the most insignificant) that you can achieve especially when working in teams with lot's of CAD/MCAD apps (and verticals) in the practice of tomorrow (bad news: tomorrow is already yesterday).
Anyway: How to go to Hell in just 123 easy steps
Step 1: get the cookiesThe bible PlanA: C# In depth (Jon Skeet).The bible PlanB: C# Step by step (John Sharp).The bible PlanC: C# 5.0 (J/B Albahari) > my favoriteThe reference: C# Language specs ECMA-334The candidates:C# Fundamentals (Nakov/Kolev & Co)C# Head First (Stellman/Greene)C# Language (Jones)Step 2: read the cookies (computer OFF)Step 3: re-read the cookies (computer OFF)...
Step 122: re-read the cookies (computer OFF)Step 123: Open computer > burn computer > computers are a bad thing (not to mention the Skynet trivial thingy).May The Force (the Dark Option) be with you.

ore simplest way, for example i need to declare min distance (minDist) like huge number to avoid overlapping values. may be find way do not use second loop in script at all . In the neoarchaic's script has line 99 (j = pts.ClosestIndex(pt)) but i have no idea how to do it in C#.
2. In a file i prepared GH+Hoopsnake and GH+Anemone solution for this script . Can i use the same principle in C# (shipt list with wrap values )? This solution I need for studying list operations in C#.
Thank you for helping .
ps..My script:
int num = x.Count; double minDist,dist; int minI = 0; int i = 0;
Point3d pt; List<Point3d> z = new List<Point3d>();
while (i < num) { i++; z.Add(x[minI]); pt = x[minI]; minDist = 1000000000000; x.RemoveAt(minI);
for (int n = 0; n < x.Count; n++){
dist = x[n].DistanceTo(pt);
if ( dist < minDist) { minI = n; minDist = dist; } } } A = z;

13;2} ... 20.{13;12}
21. {21;0}22. {21;1}23. {21;2} ... 41. {21;20}
42. {34;0}43. {34;1}44. {34;2} ... 75. {34;33}
76. {55;0}77. {55;1} ... ....
I want to grab the first 8 [0-7], the next 13[8-20], the next 21[21-42] etc
so i have the (known fibonacci seq) list of numbers on the left here:
C S
8 0
13 8
21 21
34 42
55 76
89 131
144 220
233 364
and i need the list on the right, so that i can select items using a Series (N=1 and S and C from the list above) and a List Item component.
the simple question is:
is there a component that can take a list and accumulate it in this way that I need?
if not, is there anyone that can point me to a simple relevant VB example so i could easily adapt it?
many thanks,

r-workshop programme will focus on the design and 1:1 fabrication of an interactive pavilion for the 2012 International Festival of Electronic Language (FILE). Located on Avenida Paulista, the pavilion will react to light sensors and human activity, so as to transform and create a range of different lighting and spatial effects, triggering further movement and producing an interactive feedback loop of behaviour and response. To accommodate this responsiveness, the design should be developed using recursive scripting, associative modelling and digital fabrication.
Each workshop will focus on a different phase of the pavilion’s design and construction. Instruction will be led by Rob Stuart-Smith of Kokuggia and Tristan Simmonds of Simmonds Studio, with Lawrence Friesen of Generative Geometry, Anne Save de Beaurecueil and Franklin Lee of SUBdV, together withand other AA tutors, as well as local structural engineers and set-designers. Each workshop will offer introductory instruction in computational design - Grasshopper, (GECO, Firefly) and Arduino, and digital fabrication, while advanced instruction will be offered to participants undertaking multiple workshops.
Workshop 1 will develop design variations in small models, as well as material and structural scale modeling, testing and initial 1:1 prototyping, following computational and digital fabrication instruction. Workshop 2 will produce 1:1 prototyping. Following computational and digital fabrication instruction, it will explore the mechanics and electronics of the light-sensors and motors that generate the transformations of the pavilion. Workshop 3 will fabricate the final elements, working directly with manufacturers, testing partial assemblies. Advanced development of all circuits and Arduino scripts will take place following computational and digital fabrication instruction. Workshop 4 will focus on the final assemblage of the pavilion on site.
