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?

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?

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).

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;

next level.
This Parametric Design course will provide the participants with the necessary knowledge and ability to use Grasshopper, a free visual programming plugin in Rhinoceros; you will be guided through a series of hands-on exercises that highlight NURBS modeling and its concepts. We will introduce Grasshopper as a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3D modeling tools. You will also learn how Rhino is used to render models for visualization, translate 3D models for prototyping, and export 3D models into 2D CAD or graphics programs.
English is the course main language.

ll geometry.
The difference with programs like Inventor is that they are made for production, regardless of the fabrication method. I won't go into detail about that, and instead focus on the modeling process.
In this little model, the starting point actually is a bit obvious, the foundation.
The only contents in the 3dm file are 27 lines. These indicate the location of each footing, and the direction of the tilt of each column. Everything else is defined in GH with the use of numbers as input parameters.
Needless to say, instead of those lines you could obviously generate lines and control the number of columns and panels, hence establish their layout, with any algorithmic or non-algorithmic criteria you please. That marks a major difference between GH and Inventor.
You can generate geometry with Inventor via scripting/customization (beyond iLogic), with transient graphics for visual feedback similar to GH's red-default previews. However Inventor's modeling functions are not set to input and output data trees. I won't go into detail on that, but suffice to say that the data tree associativity of GH was for me the first major difference I noticed. I've used other apps with node diagram interfaces like digital fusion for non-linear video editing since the late 90's, so the canvas did not call my attention when I first started using GH.
Anyways, here's a screen capture of the foundational lines:
In the first group of components, the centerlines of the rear columns are modeled:
And the locations in elevation for connection points are set. Those elevations were just numbers I copied from Excel, but you can obviously control that any way you please. I was just trying to model this quickly.
The same was done for the rear columns:
The above, believe it or not, took me the first 5 hours to get.
Here's a screen capture of what the model and definition looked like after 4 hours, not much:
If you're interested, next post I can get into the sketching part you mentioned, which is a bit cumbersome with GH, but not really.
I wouldn't say that using GH to do this little model was cumbersome, it just needed some thinking at the beginning. You do similar initial thinking when working with a feature-based modeler.…

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,
gotjosh…
