you post a screenshot of what the message coming from its readMe! output looks like?2) Close your Grasshopper and Rhino.3) Download "Revo Uninstaller Pro" from here. It is free for first 30 days, which is what we need.4) Right click on the RevoUninProSetup.exe and check if the file is blocked. If it is, unblock it.5) Run the RevoUninProSetup.exe file and install "Revo Uninstaller Pro".6) Uninstall "MapWinGIS" with "Revo Uninstaller Pro". It is important that "Revo Uninstaller Pro" deletes not only files from MapWinGIS installation folder, but also all other leftovers (as registry inputs). Here is a small tutorial on how to do that. Watch it from 6:10 till the end.7) Restart your PC8) When your Windows boots up, make sure that you are logged in as Administrator!9) In your Start menu's search box type: "UAC", which will find your User Account Control Settings. Click on it, and a new window will open. Set the bar on the left to "Never notify".10) Turn off your Windows Firewall.11) Then turn off your custom Firewall (in case you have another one, besides standard Windows Firewall).12) Completely turn off your Antivirus.13) Download again the MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe.exe file from here.14) Right click on the MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file and see if it is blocked. If it is, unblock it.15) Right click on MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file and choose: "Run as"... Administrator.16) One the installation preparation steps start, choose "Full installation". Wait for the MapWinGIS installation to finish.17) Right-click on "Rhino 5" icon and then choose: "Run as administrator".18) Open the the ironpython_admin.gh file again, and again post a screenshot of the message coming from its readMe! output.19) Drop the "Gismo Gismo" component to Grasshopper canvas. Post a screenshot of the message coming out from its readMe! output.
So we will need in total three screenshots of the readMe! output messages.
Thank you once again for being patient, and sorry for the large number of steps.…

own use and added the command line port LPT1 port dump.
I found a couple of strange things in your code:
# Changes the model units to inches, but does not scale model.rs.UnitSystem(unit_system=8, scale=False)
Why did you change the model units here? HPGL units are 40 per mm (which is also 1016 per inch) staying in mm units in your model will be fine if your step scaling in right.
And doing this seems strange for a cutting program:
allCurves = rs.ObjectsByType(4)for curve in allCurves: if (rs.CurveDegree(curve) == 2 or rs.CurveDegree(curve) == 3) and rs.IsPolyCurve(curve): rs.ExplodeCurves(curve, True)allCurves = rs.ObjectsByType(4)
Cutting usually needs a closed curve to produce a nice clean removable piece from the material. Your approach results in a bunch of line/curve segments instead of closed polycurves/polylines. As this simulation shows the 'O's and 'R' are cut as a collection of curve segments - not closed polycurves:
I just removed this step from the code.
As this simulation shows every part of the font is cut in one cut action - exactly what I needed:
I saw your RVB code on the RhinoScript site too - was way more detailed than I needed - my vinyl cutter only has one 'pen' - the cutting blade. I just needed a really basic way of getting polycurves into HPGL format and firing it out to a printer port.
Thanks for your help on this little project - I'm very stoked at the result! Let me know if I can help with your cutter project.
Cheers

this was about some boring building I wouldn't respond ... but here we are talking sardines.
Here's my take on that matter:
1. The 4 C# first create/use a nurbs, then define some random planes (and transformations) and then (a) either they place some humble stripes or ... er ... (b) sardines as instance definitions (NOTE: Load Rhino file first).
2. All important decisions are the ones in yellow groups.
3. You control what you get via this (priority on stripes or sardines? that's the 1M Q):
4. If you decide for sardines (the right thing to do) then you must ENABLE the Sardiniser(C)(tm)(US patent pending) as follows:
5. The vodkaFactor on that Sardiniser C# adds some spice in the sardine placement (it does that by altering the priority on the "composite" transformation in use: first randomly rotate then planeToPlane .... or the other thing?).
6. Only the finest Da Morgada sardines are used in this definition:
7. Spot the WARNING in the filter related with what sardine to choose > do it wrong and no hard disk on your workstation > no risk no fun > sorry Amigos, he he.
8. 1M question for you all: why placing sardines (it's real-time you know) is WAY faster than creating these humble stripes?
9. Although the sardines are placed in real time as regards your CPU ... the critical factor is your GPU (display mode: rendered).
10.Still WIP (dancing sardines in the next update).
have some sardine fun, best, Lord of SardineLand…
t ''Morph'' turns Red saying ''Cannot morph from a degenerate box'' (image 2),
that's because every curve generates a box (image 3).
After what i check the Option ''Union'' box to make only one box for all the curves (image 4).
However, the result is aleatory and not accurate at all ... :/ (see image 6).I know you are developing Pufferfish and not ''Morph'' component, but recently you publish on instagram a video where i believe you could morph and Twist with success a collection of curves (please see image 7 and 8)...If you could give me a hint how that can be achieved, it would be awesome.(Piping/Meshing the curves with very small diameter will perhaps work and help for visualisation purposes, but i actually just need morphing Raw curves for fabrication purposes).Hope to read you very soon...Ghali,…

…
been covered since 0051 (correct me if I'm wrong):
1) Shoot for the moon first -- "Control Panel Mode" which allows for advanced interface design. See Max/MSP for example of modal function. I spent a lot of time laying out control panels so they are nice for clients and team members to look at. I spend a lot of time disabling wire display and dragging sliders and panels and graphs around into nice little clusters. Could be something as simple as a mode that disables the view of all component handles, cleans up graph objects, sliders, etc. I know the Remote Control Panel has been requested over and over again since it disappeared, but honestly it wouldn't be much use to me unless it was a full blown customizable interface. In the meantime I'll stick to my own "Canvas Control Panel" methods. (See below...)
2) More control over graph objects. Right now the bar graph for instance automatically sets the lowest and highest value displayed. Would be nice to be able to set extents manually so that you can compare apples to apples on two different lists that have different extents. Also would love to force the bar graph to show all values along x axis, not just first and last. Same goes for showing the numbers of instances for each value. Now it only shows instance numbers in oddball cases. Would like to force them to show for statistical purposes. Love percentages, but usually I also want accurate tallies. I tend to use a member index sets to generate my own lists.
3) Color input for Vectors -- there are fakey fake workarounds but none that are as versatile as simply having a color input.
4) COLOR INPUT FOR TEXT TAGS -- sorry to yell... this one really frustrates me. I often build interactive feedback systems that involve a lot of different types of data, and it is difficult to convey that input when all text is red (or green when selected).
5) Ability to justify text tags using paragraph controls -- currently default is left-justified. Would like to be able to center text horizontally and vertically, among other things.
6) Ability for text tags to handle multi-line text. Not sure the best way to implement this, but often I find myself wanting to attach 3 items of information to a particular object, and I have to string it all together in one line. Would be great if I could insert a "^M" character that stands for carriage return and have that display as multiline text (used in conjunction with above justification controls).
7) More control over Text panels. Thank you for including justification options... but sadly now it begs the question for margin and header control. Text slammed up against the left edge is pretty unsightly. Moreover, if you have labeled a text box, the drop shadow from the title bar tends to overshadow the first line of text if you have Path display turned off. Would like to add some header space to fix the problem and create a cleaner look.
8) Easier access to text font size. Buried in a Special Font... menu. I want to be able to up up down down (left right left right select start) if you know what I mean.
I guess that's it for now... just the things on the top of my head in this category. Looking forward to installing the new release, have to wait until this major project is over though.
Cheers,

hops, design sessions & symposia across 5 cities in India. We encourage all architecture & design students and professionals to join us in this novel experimentation event and aid in 'Filling The Void'; Void in Architecture, Void in our Cities, Void in Education. REGISTRATIONS ARE OPEN NOW.
rat[LAB] Computational Design Tour - INDIA
Agenda // Filling The Void
1 country // 5 cities // 1 agenda // 100+ students // 25+ professionals // 5 exhibitions // 1 publication
Void is typically defined as null, invalid, empty or redundant and has a psychological perception of a ‘negative’. Through years of development in India, there has been an organic urban growth and inorganic architectural growth which has led to formation of voids in a physical and a metaphorical sense. There also exist voids as gaps between architecture, cities, education and technology. ‘Filling The Void’ looks at void as an opportunity, potential and a driver of change for architecture & design education in India.
// Cities & Dates*
Mumbai – 22nd June to 24th June 2015 (Monday to Wednesday)

st variety of papers (mostly related with LIDAR airborne sampled clouds) ... but ... hmm ... no code (other than some "abstract" algos that may (or may not) work). Reason? A very hot cake that one these days: from reverse engineering to DARPA founded future defense systems and up to cruse missiles pattern recognition algos.
The solution (obviously doable only via code) is the so called flat hard clustering ... were points are sampled into clusters based on the coPlanarity "rule". For large amounts recursive octTrees (an oriented box divided in 8 "partitions") subdivisions are used and then pts are processed in parallel (and then clusters are re-evaluated in order to "absorb" other clusters with same plane A,B,C,D vars etc etc).
See what's happening in a very carefully made test point collection:
3.7 ms and the "ideal" clustering (7 search loops VS the max 42M theoretical threshold):
Depending on the pts "preparation" ... a considerable more time/search loops is required ... and ... well ... also "valid" clusters (4 points and up) made:
So "ideally" speaking in your case:
1. Mesh faces center points (or alternatively: mesh vertices) are sampled into a pts collection .
2. Hard flat coPlanarity clustering is attempted yielding pts/planes in equivalent DataTrees.
3. Planar Breps are made with respect the planes (like the black things captured above) and sampled, say, into a breps List.
4. The method Brep[] solids = Brep.CreateSolid(breps); is used for attempting to create your desired "engulfing" brep. This method is very slow mind (other waaaay faster approaches also available).

on excel (leaving 0,0 cell blank and also making sure there are no commas in the names ) Also let's call the names "ID"
2 - For the weight, use numbers ranging from 1 - 10 where 10 is the highest dependancy.
3 - Save the file as a Unicode CSV from excel
4 - Create another file on excel that has the attributes of your spaces, with the names of your spaces under the header ID (let's start with a simple "area" and "SNo" attribute but you could add more features for sorting and manipulating your data)
5 - Open Gephi and further open your matrix CSV file
5 - Import it as "," (comma delimited file) and make sure you check "matrix" for the data type
6 - Ensure the import is nondirectional as well (or Gephi adds silly arrows)
7 - Not gonna go into the gephi bit too much but select a force atlas layout and set the force to something high 1000 or 10000 depending on the size of the data and the attraction to a 1000th of that 1 or 10. Go to the data lab and import your excel with the attributes and append to your existing datasheet.
8 - Set the node attributes to use the area for the node size and color scheme to SNo
9 - Play around with all the layout options and finally go to your preview. Once you're happy with it, export it to a GDF graph file.
the GDF now has the coordinates of the circles and the diameters. as well as the edge connections.
I've written a very amateur script that converts this to GH geometry (below)
Hope this helps someone out, I'm still figuring out the gephi streaming API but I've only started with python about a month ago so might take a while to get there.
You can use the second half of the GDF files to also create dependency chord diagrams online as shown in the third image.

that both the ASHRAE and European Adaptive models were derived from surveys of awake occupants. While the topic has not been investigated as well as it should be, the few adaptive-style surveys of sleeping occupants that have been conducted show that people tend to desire significantly cooler temperatures when they are sleeping as opposed to when they are awake.
Notably, Chapter 8 of Humphrey's recently-published book on Adaptive Comfort (https://books.google.com/books?id=lOZzCgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Adaptive+Thermal+Comfort+Foundations+and+analysis&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi6npqSi__KAhUJMj4KHf7SCXMQ6AEIKjAA#v=onepage&q=Adaptive%20Thermal%20Comfort%20Foundations%20and%20analysis&f=false) provides some interesting insights into this. In a 1973 survey, Humphreys found that the quality of sleep started to deteriorate at temperatures above 24-26C regardless of the time of year and that there was no clearly-determinable lower limit to comfortable sleeping temperatures (in other words, people were fine at 12C if they were given enough blankets). He surveyed only British occupants who were sleeping in traditional beds with mattresses and a wide range of blankets. This is important because the nature of the findings is such that the comfort temperatures would be very different if the survey participants had been sleeping in a hammock or in closer contact with the ground (both popular practices for a number of cultures living in warmer climates). Traditional mattresses cut the ability to radiate body heat in half as compared to a standing human body and I would venture a guess that this is a big reason why much cooler temperatures are desired while sleeping on mattresses as opposed to standing awake/uptight.
So for your case, if you want to account for a time of the day that occupants are sleeping on mattresses, I would change the comfort temperature for this these hours down to 24C. Otherwise, if you are trying to show the comfortable hours of awake people in your space, your current 100% comfortable nighttime hours are a better estimate. I have also noticed that nighttime temperatures become comfortable in extreme weeks of hot/dry climates. This is what is happening in this extreme week simulation of Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley here:

I will put in the ability to set custom values for comfort temperatures into the Adaptive Comfort Recipe soon so that you can test out a 'sleeping comfort temperature' if you would like. I have created a github issue for it here:
https://github.com/mostaphaRoudsari/Honeybee/issues/486
I was not so convinced by Nicol's argument about humidity on those pages as I was when I saw the correlations of both operative temperature and effective temperature to surveyed comfort votes in real buildings. Humphreys shows these correlations on page 106 of the book I linked to above. Notably, the correlation of Effective Temperature to comfort votes (0.257) is slightly worse than the correlation of just Operative Temperature (0.265). In other words, trying to account for humidity actually weakened the predictive power of the metric. This difference in correlation is not so great as for me to discount an Adaptive comfort model based on Effective temperature (as deDear once proposed). However, the correlations of PMV (0.213) and SET (0.185) to comfort votes are so poor that I now use the PMV model only with great caution.
This reason for the decreased importance of humidity may be multi-faceted, whether it's Nicol's explanation or another. Still, the data suggests that we are probably better off ignoring humidity when forecasting comfort and should only consider it when evaluating conditions of extreme heat stress where people's primary loss of heat is through sweating.
