lines, dedicated MCAD apps, BIM apps, team work AND elevators as well: if you design something "variable" and then attempt to service it via a "static way" (Revit) you'll discover that you are wasting your time. I can list you a lot of WOW towers that failed on that (elevator) matter ... but this wouldn't be polite for the designers: so let's continue.
2. The other critical thing is the system that does the skin: since "liquid" is the new WOW (it shouldn't) the task of "faceting" a facade and doing it with a system that doesn't leak (in the long term), doesn't pop the panels out of the frames and it doesn't cost the GNP of Nigeria ... well ... is not that simple.
3. It's a very common mistake for some future Architect to "skip" (even mentally) "trivial" matters like these ... but if you get used on this type of thinking you'll gonna pay a heavy price (as an Architect).
So my advise is: whilst you are after "form(s)" sketch frantically the nuts and bits of that form (not to mention ... er ... hmm... the elevators, he he).

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.

formance issue.
Reasons why I don't want to change the Integer parameter:
1) what about Number, and String, and Boolean, and Point, and Vector, and Line... should they also display the value? Or is the integer parameter supposed to be different from all the others?
2) what if you have multiple values inside a parameter. Should it grow to display them all? Should it grow to display only the first ten? Should it automatically switch to Icon-display?
3) would value display be a fourth kind of display type (alongside Name, Icon and App-default)?

2. Even cooler would be to make some kind of presentation preview. (GH disappears, rhino goes to fullscreen mode with somehow integrated remote panel). I like to watch apps/scripts made with processing, where sliders are really minimalistic.
3. Presentation preview may be optionally locked with password.
I realize that GH isnt processing, but this would be nice addition.

2. Modelo now supports VR! check out this video:
3. We've added a specular option in the rendering settings. So now you can have your design rendered a little bit shinny-er.
4. There is also a "filters" option in this panel, with which you can get some interesting image post processing effects. We are expanding this filter library, if you have any suggestions, please let us know.
5. This one is very important and has been requested by our customers for a long time. Now when you upload a model, you can grab the reviews(3d comments, screenshots,sketches) from your previously uploaded model! This works really conveniently if you use Modelo for your design review/presentation, cause you don't have to recreate the same 3d anchor views every time you made some changes to your design.
6. Also, our developer API is almost ready, which means if anyone is interested in developing a grasshopper plugin that works with Modelo, they can!
There are some many other updates and bug fixes happened. I don't want to list all of them here. Definitely stay subscribed with our newsletter. Modelo is thrived to grow into a more comprehensive platform! If you have any good ideas about our platform, please do not hesitate to let me know!

that "all-in-one" thing. Some people believe that this is not a big deal (I guess that they have no real-life experience from AEC studies). GC is s l o w, has more bugs than Sahara has grains of sand, and Robert Aish - the equivalent of David Rutten - had escaped to Autodesk (did the Dynamo since). GC is either stand-alone (+ Microstation) or a MS add-on. GC has a very steep learning curve. GC works on a "sequential" mode that is far better suited for engineering purposes. Microtation includes the best solid (NOT surface) engine known to mankind (same as Siemens/NX). Microstation also includes the best rendering engine (straight from the US movie industry: the notorious Nexus engine). Microstation has a lot of bugs.
GH: fast, vibrant community, fast becoming the standard for entry-level parametric adventures (not AEC), evolving 10 times faster than GC. But ... Rhino is NOT an AEC app nor it would ever be not to mention that surface modelling thingy, the non existent feature modelling capabilities and ... er... hmm ... MIA assembly/component capabilities as well.

PS: post some real-life case (GH <> AECOSim) in MS native format (.dgn).…
console app into "Rhino\System\" directory the program runs fine. I've searched for days regarding the loading of dll's but to no avail. Could it be that the Rhino dll's are protected in the program files directory? The code is very simple, please take a look.
using Rhino.Geometry;using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Text;namespace Rhino{ class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Point3d j = new Point3d(1, 1, 1); Point3d k = new Point3d(2, 2, 2); List<Point3d> list = new List<Point3d>(); list.Add(j); list.Add(k); Console.WriteLine(new List<Point3d>{j,k}); Point3d p = Point3d.Add(j, k); Console.WriteLine(Point3d.ArePointsCoplanar(list, 1.0)); Console.Read(); } }}

. Solution exception:Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I assume it is related to how/where the components and related files were copied to the GH special folders.
Both Newtonsoft.Json.xml and PrairieDog.gha have been copied to the "Libraries" folder of GH.
Are there any other requirements in terms of where the Prairie Dog folder should be located and the app run from?
+1 for additional sliders
+1 for expressions
Thanks for your hard work.
