tructures)
Bad news: real-life AEC trusses are far and away from lines.
Ugly news: Rhino is NOT an AEC app by any means nor it would ever be. For AEC app I mean the known 3 (Allplan, Revit and my favorite: AECOSim) and/or proper MCAD apps (like CATIA/NX). In plain English : without exporting (meaning (a) bake in nested blocks + (b) export via STEP) proper structured data (assembly/component) this WIP case is absolutely useless.
why may you ask.
well ... trusses are made with numerous shop drawings like this, that's why:
more soon.
best, Peter…
some weird engine, you know, he he) IS NOT like designing plain vanilla AEC things.
Therefore features/calculation methods/capabilities as found in MCAD apps (considered off topic by many in our trade) are mandatory for certain types of designs.
Anyway and if we forget FEA stuff, currently I have 3 C# goals:
(1) master the art of controlling the placement of existed blocks in GH defined topology(done),
(2) master the art of baking blocks(done) and
(3) master the art of baking heavily nested blocks that NX/Catia can understand (progress is slow).

te and anything you can remove is a benefit (I also find it looks much better, but this is personal taste).
Of course, there are far fewer things going on at the screen on a phone than in a computer. It's very possible this doesn't translate well into an interface for a software like Rhino. I've also had no problems using Windows 8 and a few simple 'metro apps' but these are simple apps that don't compare the complexity of CAD software.
Even Microsoft hasn't gone full metro in the desktop. They did however remove a lot of superfluous shadows, bevels and effects and it looks much better than in Windows 7 in my opinion.
In every new version of Windows I always resented they just added new effects and decorations to the UI without adding much to usability and only slowing down the system. I've found it strange that for the first time that I think they are moving in the right direction Microsoft receives the biggest backlash ever for it. Apparently I have a very heterodox view on good UI and when people were complaining on the superfluous decorations of previous windows installments they didn't really mean it, they just had an axe to grind with the company.…
nite a zillion of "solids" (closed polysurfaces in Rhino speech) you need a decent solid CAD app. Rhino is a surface modeller ... meaning that you should narrow your search towards the right girl.
3. Personally I work with Microstation (same 3d core engine as Siemens/NX [ParaSolids]) and CATIA/NX. The difference in speed for doing things like these ... well ... find a friend who works with any of these and experience it first hand. …
ectural project, the efficiency of design communication and the control of information-flow are as important as the creativity of ideas. In response to the concurrent digital evolution emerging in the architectural industry world-wide, the Faculty of Architecture at The University of Hong Kong will host a two week intensive summer program named Digital Practice.Led by professors from The University of Hong Kong, as well as invited practitioners with expertise in practice of cutting edge digital techniques, the program offers participants opportunities to experience applications of computational tools during different stages of an architectural project, i.e. concept design, form finding and optimization, delivery, management and communication of design information under the team-based working environment. By learning advanced computational techniques through case studies in the context of Hong Kong, participants are expected to go beyond the conventional perception of technology, considering users and tools as a feedback-based entity instead of a dichotomy. The program, which is taught in English, includes a series of evening lectures related delivered by teaching staff and invited local architects.對於高品質的建築專案,創意之外,專案過程中高效的設計資訊管理和交流成為項目設計深化和實施必不可少的環節。今天,數字化技術不但改變了建築師的繪圖工具,影響了設計的過程,而且提供了工程建造和管理實施的更有效、更高效的手段。針對建築的數位化演進,香港大學建築學院將於2011年暑假期間,在香港大學建築學院舉辦“數位化實踐”國際研習班。在香港大學建築學院教授及有著相關豐富經驗的外聘實踐建築師的指導下,學員將有機會體驗在專案的不同階段(如概念設計、設計形式的生成、優化,設計資訊的管理和交流),如何有效地應用各種運算智慧化技術(從設計的數位化生成和建築資訊類比到物理模型),提升設計實施的品質,增加設計團隊對於方案的控制。我們將挑戰對於“技術”的傳統認知,即相對於使用者它不僅是工具,更是與使用者互動的媒介,二者形成一個有機的合體。研習班期間會安排系列講座,展現數位化技術在實踐工程中的廣泛應用。…
well!
Also works reliably in another app I have (Hydrostatics) to adjust 'Z-Offset' and re-establish buoyancy equilibrium.
I wasn't able to get it working inside a cluster due to the GH restriction against recursion, unfortunately, because that would be AWESOME!!! Instead, the code is sprawling and exposed...
Note the 'Feedback' input and 'Value' output in the white group (Inner Circle).
Cheers and Happy New Year!
P.S. Geometry internalized, no Rhino file needed.…

f geometry in the scene, everything still runs fairly seamlessly (I built my computer with top-of-the-line specs -- back in 2010 -- so any computer with competent hardware should run this just fine).
In addition to improved flying controls, I implemented a script that lets the user select geometry on the screen just by pointing (1:16). The geometry gets highlighted via Grasshopper first, and then after a certain amount of time it gets selected in the Rhino window (with a little help from a custom script by Andrew Heumann). The camera then resizes to fit the selected geometry.
Haven't quite decided where I want to take this, but now that it's cleaned up it should be easy to implement other gestural controls. Think I might just play around with other Leap apps to see which set of controls I like best...Suggestions are welcome. =)
Again, couldn't have done it without Andy Payne's Firefly components and Jacek Markusiewicz's Horster Camera Control.…

2. Trad AEC BIM apps (AECOSim - my favorite, Revit - no thanks, Allplan - no thanks) use RPC cells for similar tasks (an RPC cell is in fact a "DataTree" of images). In the past I did several figure animations (I'm not doing this any more: boring to the max):

3. Maya of course does everything (it's a unique amalgam of mesh and nurbs tools), but is totally unsuitable for AEC work.

So, assuming that you are in the AEC bandwagon, your options are:
a. AECOSim as the total "umbrella" for AEC matters.
b. MODO as the most innovative app out there.
c. Quest3D as the best VR app out there.…
it within the same smart umbrella? Or put it differently: is it worthy to exploit/consider/evaluate GH methods and development orientations that could "approximate" Utopia?
Let's split the case into segments:
The parametric part thing (although critical) is complex and rather beyond the scope of GH. Affects Rhino far more than GH. That said Microstation has 3 levels for doing this (but forget Microstation and/or Gen Comp).
So for a start we can focus in GH acting as a "composer" in 3D place of all the required (hopefully real) parts for the job. Parts must be nested AND readable as such by an external AEC app.
I'll post here (soon I do hope) all the parts that are required for assembling this. I mean individual static "blocks" that we assume (wrongly) that remain static: I mean we presuppose that the whole GH geometry is fixed (thus this is really a smart sketch of some sort) and no further changes are on schedule (that MAY affect parts).
That said I prefer an incomplete Utopia (one thing that "does" it all, or it thinks that does it) than a myriad of individual apps that take input one from the other and promise the Holly Grail (and/or delivering it). The core reason that I use Microstation as my basic platform is exactly that (obviously with a certain price to pay: bugs, shortcomings, wrong concepts in places etc etc etc).
Best, Peter

comerciales. Rhino permite comunicar ideas en el desarrollo, investigación, manufactura, marketing y proceso de construcción de un producto o espacio, antes de ser construido y genera documentos constructivos para la elaboración de los mismos. Permite exportar los archivos a las extensiones comerciales más utilizadas en la industria como DXF, DWG, Illustrator y 3ds entre muchos otros. La gran cantidad de extensiones suplen las necesidades especificas para arquitectura, diseño de producto, calzado, joyería, ingeniería, manufactura y visualización fotorealista.
Grasshopper es una extensión de Rhino que permite el modelado paramétrico sin tener conocimientos de programación o matemáticas avanzadas, facilitando el desarrollo de modelos de alta complejidad a partir de formas simples o complejas.
