3. Delete the left C# that does the Ziggurat (and feeds the truss maker with the "skin").
4. Remove all the comments of type "don't touch ..." > be brave.
5. Create any spiral surface (like the ones shown as demos) in Rhino. Or Any List of surfaces (say: one spiral surface and some others - but better start with ONE test surface). DO NOT use trimmed surfaces (only my "pro" C# truss maker does this - but it's incredibly complex to handle it). In fact ... you can use them ... but forget it, for the moment.
6. Feed this green GH component shown (aka: the Red pill [Matrix], he he) with your surface(s) > surrender to the crazy world of trusses.
7. Listen to some appropriate stuff .
…
ick to the Bezier span option (because this "guarantees" the LESS visual gap when lofting - actually that's a lie but stick to the plan) .
1. If we had ONE pair "suitably" oriented then things could be a bit more easier. But ... there's a bunch of pairs around and IF your pairs are different (in the true sense of the liquid madness, he he) ... well we need a policy:
2. Find either (a) the centroids of (b) the min distance points and define an "axis".
3. Find the ccx pts (case a) or use points from (b) and change the curve seams to these. This yields curves that start/end at some controlled "neighbor" points (critical if your curves are different or "twist" - as pairs - etc etc). This is ALSO critical when you want peace of mind when lofting (or use sweep1) because don''t get for granted what the Loft options component claims by the "adjust seams" thingy.
4. Optionally change the 2nd curve orientation in order to get a clock wise + anti clock wise pair. More on that later (is related with other methods to "fuse" this with that).
5. Define points at each curve using a pair of double values (0-1 if the pair domains are 0-1).
6. Split the curves (get the segments that you want) and define pairs of vectors (at end/start segment pts) that could give us 2 bezier spans.Don't forget to control the vector "lengths".
7. Unite the spans with the segments.
If all the above fail ... well... there's always the Plan B: I could post the C# that does this and several other ways to "fuse" curves plus a curve maker that is rather suitable for your tower adventures.

to problems. If anyone wants to take a look at the attached file "605b-3" and try to help me, that would be awesome.
The way I'm thinking about creating the louvers:
1. Contour the shape (could be any shape, but I attached the one I'm trying to do it to)
2. Divide those contour curves
3. Find the 4 points on those curves that are furthest away from the center of each curve
4. Move those points slightly away from the center of each curve
5. Replace the unmoved points with the moved points
6. Interpolate/NURBS curve through the new list of points
7. Loft the new curves with the original contour curves
I think I'm close, but I'm getting stuck at the end- I thought shifting lists would be the best way to solve my problem, but I'm a little confused as to how grasshopper is organizing the list of new curves and how to match that organization to the original curves.
Attached is an image of where I am stuck. I can only create a surface in the gap that I'm trying to create by the louvers. Either that, or one or two of the curves tends to create a "tornado" looking thing and i can't figure out how to fix it without individually breaking up the list. Is there a way to set all the curve seams to be at the same location in a list?…

Rhino5 SR9. PT will not load unless you update.2- Download the PT installer (PanelingTools_2014_08_24_00.rhi) from: http://www.rhino3d.com/download/rhino/5.0/PanelingToolsV5/2- Double click the downloaded rhi file and follow the prompts to install.3- Next time you open Rhino and grasshopper, you should see the new version installed and loaded.4- The updated toolbars should be also installed. You might need to load using "ToolbarLayout" Rhino command.Documentation:There are comprehensive manuals available. Please make use of them.1- PT-Rhino: http://wiki.mcneel.com/_media/labs/panelingtools.pdf2- PT-GH: http://

New in this Release:--------------------
PT-Rhino:
1- All 2D and 3D Paneling commands, now pay attention to the attributes of the source module. Morphed geometry is no longer added to a new layer and is placed in the same layer as that of the source module(s).2- ptPanel3DCustomVariable with mean option: added support to use multiple start/end modules.3- ptPanel3DCustomVariable command with mean option: added support to use points as part of pattern.
4- Fixed history bugs to custom2d and custom3d variable commands.5- ptOffsetBorder: added bitmap and draft angle options.6- Added history support to ptGridSurface* commands.7- ptPlanarLips command is discontinued and is now replaced with the new ptTabs. The new command has "Distance" and "Recess" options to create tabs with a miter. It works with planar surfaces and polysurfaces.8- ptUnrollFaces: Many improvements and new options.9- Many other minor bug and crash fixes.PT-GH:1- Added anew component to morph variable 3D components using mean or tween method between matching curves, meshes or surfaces.2- Added the new ptOffsetGrid component of a grid.3- Updated the ptMorph2dVariable component to accept a tree structure.4- Fixed a few miscellaneous UI bugs and crashes.Feedback:As always, feedback is ve
ry much appreciated. Please post questions and reports to the following:1- Rhino discourse forum (http://discourse.mcneel.com/)2- PT forums (PT-Rhino: http://v5.rhino3d.com/group/panelingtools) and (PT-GH: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/panelingtools).3- Email tech (tech@mcneel.com) or reach me directly (rajaa@mcneel.com).Enjoy!Rajaa IssaRobert McNeel & Associates…

arq, que se celebrará entre el 28 de Enero y el 1 de Febrero de 2013 en el Colegio de Arquitectos de Granada.
El taller está destinado a arquitectos, artistas y diseñadores, tanto como profesionales, como estudiantes de grado y posgrado, que, sin necesidad de haber tenido ningún contacto previo con entornos de programación o herramientas informáticas de dibujo paramétrico o generativo, están interesados en probar y experimentar con las opciones que nos pueden ofrecer a los diseñadores.
El taller está dividido en tres bloques:
Curso intensivo: del 28 de Enero al 30 de Febrero, en horario de mañana, de 10 a 14. Taller de proyectos: del 28 de Enero al 30 de Febrero, por la tarde, de 16 a 20; y el 31 de Febrero, durante todo el día.
Presentaciones: viernes 1 de Febrero, mañana y tarde.
Utilizaremos Grasshopper, el editor algorítmico asociado al software de modelado tridimensional y dibujo Rhinoceros, por su facilidad de aprendizaje, al tratarse de un entorno gráfico, facilidad de adquisición, al ser gratuito y haber disponible una versión de prueba de Rhinoceros también gratuita, y amplia difusión en los últimos años. Y lo emplearemos tanto como modelador, como conector entre otros softwares y varias disciplinas. Por este motivo, también utilizaremos algunos de sus plug-ins, como Geco, para análisis ambiental, Elk, para enlazarlo con OpenStreetMap o Kangaroo, para simulación de sistemas físicos.
Lo único que necesitas es un ordenador portátil (si no pudieras conseguir), hacer el ingreso con el importe correspondiente y mandarnos tus datos y el recibo bancario del ingreso a smartlabgranada@gmail.com. Puedes ver los detalles en el apartado de Inscripción. El resto del material, tanto software como hardware, lo ponemos nosotros.
Nuestro acercamiento a estas herramientas es entusiasta acerca del potencial creativo que pueden ofrecer a diseñadores y artistas, pero también crítico y especulativo. Nos alejamos tanto de una posición puramente formalista, como del estricto funcionalismo, a los que desde los últimos años frecuentemente se ha asociado a esta disciplina.…

TB of RAM. I think I'm going to start a GoFundMe campaign to buy one for myself :)
2- The server's cost is about $13 an hour. I get free access to supercomputer through my university and xsede.org because I earned an NSF Honorable mention last March, however, the supercomputers available through both resources are a little complicated for me to use, as opposed to the one available from amazon that has Microsoft server 2012 already installed.
3- I wanted to run 400 annual glare simulations for 400 different views.
4- I tried a to perform annual glare simulation for one view on my Dell XPS that has Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor and 16GB of system memory. The simulation took 2 hours to complete. Radiance parameter ab was set to 6.
5- I wanted to obtain the batch file for each view so I can run them on the server. So I used the fly component to run all 400 simulations and closed the cmd windows, that wasn't bad ( for me at least) because I asked my son to this job for me, he was just glad to help me :)
6- I created one batch file using this cmd command:
dir /s /b *.bat > runall.bat
This created a file with the path to each .bat file. I edited this file in Notepad++ to include the word "start" at the beginning of each line. This was done using the "find and replace" dialogue box.
7- I split my newly created batch file into 3 batch files, each one has about 130 file names and " start" before the file names.
8- installed radiance on my server
9- Ran the first batch file on the server, this started 130 cmd windows performing my simulations, CPU usage was anywhere between 90% to 100% and about 105 GB of RAMs were used.
10. It took about 5 hours to complete all 130 simulations, I expected to run all in 2 hours but can't complain because this would've taken about 260 hours to run on my laptop. After the simulations done I ran the second and then the third batch files ( total of about 15 hours).
11. I got 400 valid dgb files. Couldn't be happier!

omly distributed pointcloud, a clearly discernable hyperplanes pattern emerged from the combination of three Random components, each outputting a list to feed the three spatial coordinate. The three random components share the same Domain and Number inputs, but the Seeds are unique. When the seeds are three consecutive numbers [n] [n+1] [n+2] , the resulting points are arranged in three coplanar groups. As the third seed increases while the first two are fixed, the number of hyperplanes planes linearly increases by steps of 2.
[n] [n+1] [n+2] > 3
[n] [n+1] [n+3] > 5
[n] [n+1] [n+4] > 7
...
By swapping random coordinate lists in the Point3D inputs, the planes rotate around the average value of all the XYZ point coordinates. Still not having digged into Linear Congruential Generators, yet definetevely interesting the order emerging from (pseudo) randomness.
I attach screenshots of a test with the following input parameters:Domain: -10 to 10Number: 10000Seeds: 0,1,2
Best,

ns about them.
It's a direction for Kangaroo I very much intend to continue developing - and I am still getting to grips with the possibilities and experimenting with how different optimization and fairing forces work in combination with one another, so I would value your input and experience.

At the moment the Laplacian smoothing is uniformly weighted, which tends to even out the edge lengths as well as smoothing the form, which is sometimes desirable, and sometimes not. It also tends to significantly shrink meshes when the edges are not fixed.
I plan to try some of the other weighting possibilities, such as Fujiwara or cotangent weighting (see [1] and [3]), as well as other fairing approaches, such as Taubin smoothing [2], Willmore flow[4], and so on. This also has applications in the simulation of bending of thin shells.
Planar quad panels are often desirable, but I'm finding that planarization forces alone are sometimes unstable, or cause undesirable crumpling, so need to be combined with some sort of fairing/smoothing, but the different types have quite different effects, and the balance is sometimes tricky.
There's also the whole issue of meshes which are circular (I posted a demo of circularization on the examples page), or conical (this one still isn't working quite right yet), and their relationship with principal curvature grids and placement of irregular vertices, all of which is rather different when the whole form is up for change, rather than having a fixed target surface [7].
I'm also trying to get to grips with ways of making surfaces of planar hexagons, which need to become concave in regions of negative Gaussian curvature (see this discussion)
and I hope to release soon a component for calculating CP meshes, as described in [8], which I think could have many exciting construction implications.
While there are a number of well developed smoothing algorithms, their main area of application so far seems to be in processing and improving 3D scan data, so using them in design in this way is somewhat new territory. There can be structural, fabrication or performance reasons for certain types of smoothness, but of course the aesthetic reasons are also often important, and I think there are some interesting discussions to be had here about the aesthetics of smoothness.
Anyway, that's enough rambling from me, hopefully something there triggers some discussion - I'm really keen to hear about how all of you envision these tools might be used and developed.
