The most common plastic materials used as agricultural films are the low density polyethylene (LDPE, with a density less than 0.93 kg m−3), the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl-acetate (EVA)
Also here you can find the characteristics of the flexible materials for greenhouse covers (adapted from CPA, 1992 and Tesi, 2001) as much as i get.
UV-PE Film ( UV-PE~ polyethylene Long life or UV)
Thickness (mm) = 0.18
Direct PAR transmissivity (%) = 90
Diffuse PAR transmissivity (%)= 86
Long-wave IR transmissivity (%)= 65
EVA Film ( EVA~Ethylene vinyl-acetate copolymer)
Thickness (mm) = 0.18
Direct PAR transmissivity (%) = 90
Diffuse PAR transmissivity (%)= 76
Long-wave IR transmissivity (%)= 27
and here you will find the global heat transfer coefficient’ (K in W m−2 °C−1) for the above greenhouse covering materials, measured under normalized conditions (temperatures: exterior: −10°C, interior: +20°C, wind: 4 m s−1). (Source: Nisen and Deltour, 1986.)

Single PE 8.8-9.0 7.1- 7.2
Single EVA 7.8 6.6
Note : the PAR radiation (photosynthetically active or photoactive radiation and its the amounts to 45–50% of the global radiation; Berninger, 1989)
The name PAR is used to designate the radiation with wavelengths useful for plant photosynthesis. It is accepted that the PAR radiation ranges from 400 to 700 nm (McCree, 1972), although some authors consider the PAR from 350 to 850 nm.
The composition of the radiation changes with time, as a function of the Sun’s elevation and the cloudiness. When the Sun is low over the horizon, the short wavelengths are reduced (less UV and more red). The clouds reduce the amount of energy, greatly decreasing the NIR.
The PAR proportion in relation to the global radiation increases with scattering (diffusion). It is lower with clear sky and in the summer (45–48%).

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.…

image with shows some simple usage of the path mapper.
The points worth noting are the following:
1. The "Source" is comrised of a single line notation which EXACTLY matches the existing path structure. This means that if your parameter viewer shows you a path strcutrure which looks like {0;0;0;1;0} (N=4), your source input should look like {A;B;C;D;E}(i). Here, all the letters A-E and i are placeholders meaning that they can be any letters and are standing by for each digit in your path structure. This also means that they could be any letters: {Q;R;S;T;U}(V) would work as well as {A;X;T;B;S}(J). The important thing is that you are identifying each digit (including the value of 'N', the total items in each path).
2. The "Target" is (obviously) your desired path structure. If you want to simply get rid of the zeros while maintaining essentially the same path structure, it is as simple as dropping out those placeholders while writing the target notation. In the above example, if your source is {Q;R;S;T;U}(V), you can use a targe like {S;T}(V) to return a structure which will be {0;1}(N=4) or {T}(V) for {1}(N=4) and so on.
3. if you want to swap the path structure, i.e. if you have 5 paths with 10 items each and you want 10 paths with 5 items each, you switch the placeholders in the source and target notations. for example, {X;Y}(n) -> {n}(Y)... and so on.
I hope that the above is of some help. Please feel free to keep asking.…

n due at the end of march. i am hoping to see if i can do this as a sort of "HIVE MIND" experiment with one or two or more posters to the forum. i have uploaded two files to http://www.formpig.com/nine_bar-FAR and I have the following goals:
1. To "kinematically iterate" various formal building envelopes based upon a 50' x 100' lot that "conform" to the nine bar linkage geometry.
2. This lot would have "setbacks" consisting of two 5' side setbacks, a 10' rear yard setback and a 25' front yard setback. max height on the structure is 32' and the allowable overhangs into the setbacks are 2'. I would like to find a way to use the "nine bar geometry" to construct a series of iterations for "floors", "walls" and "ceilings", which would then be tied to a volumetric (cubic volume), or a total square footage (perhaps based upon two horizontal section cuts) which was based upon a given number that I will provide per local building code.
3. Laid on top of this we would also have "mcmansion ordinance" requirements based upon the pdf enclosed. i expect to have this "tent restriction" data in digital form to upload to ftp shortly.
It would be up to you individually or collectively to determine how best to position this "in the real world" based upon the lot, setbacks, zoning requirements etc. For instance, perhaps the nine bar configuration has its vertices coplanar with the 50' x 100' x 32' envelope restrictions and then the chosen volume is "trimmed' by the setback requirements. Or perhaps the nine-bar configuration is generated completely within the setbacks, or perhaps it is generated 2' outside of the setbacks so as to take advantage of the 2' overhang allowance on the setbacks, etc.
*
Given an opportunity to develop the work in a second phase we would have an opportunity to tie this into various efficiencies such as Bill of Materials (wall floor and ceiling square foot calculations), envelope to volume calculations, solar panel efficiencies (solar orientation and envelope geometry) etc, etc (love to get suggestions for this).
*
I've become /really/ convinced that this would be a /really/ interesting entry based upon my just finishing up Kas Oosterhuis' Towards a New Kind of Building: A Designer's Guide for Non-Standard Architecture". In an ideal world I was hoping that it would be possible to hash this out discussion-wise and then literally passing it around on the list after someone eventually made the first move by tossing out a rough ghx script. My expectation would be to finalize it rapidly in the next two weeks. Something of a contemporary version of a design charette.
However, I realize this may not be workable so if you have experience in this arena and particularly if you think this is a brief that is straighforward enough to be almost literally implemented in Grasshopper, please contact me for any wage and/or contract fee requirements.
I'm getting a bit of a late jump on this but my hope is that with the right participant(s) that I can thrash it together quick enough for the first round.

d the workshop PDF from this link: http://goo.gl/bcvRNH Download event poster from this link: http://goo.gl/Q0KWCM Brief: Cairo is filled with barriers controlling people movements, suppressing them as well as detaining green and public spaces to the extent that most people have been taking these spaces for granted. Public spaces have been for a while the periphery of our daily life. We will explore in this workshop how we can manipulate and alter people’s perception and direct their attention to how these spaces are integral for city life. This exploration will be backed up by intensive technical tutorials introducing computational design and fabrication techniques and tools mainly Rhino, Grasshopper, Geco and Ecotect. Not only will this be the typical technical workshop, but rather you will also have the chance to be guided step by step on how these tools are used through out different design stages in a real world scenario. Design prototypes will be produced through 3D printing, the main workshop output will be a fabricated one to one functional model for one of the designs using our new in-house CNC machine.

as follows.
We have a grid which consists of a collection of columns, where each column consists of a list of points. You said flattening is out of the question, so we need to cull items from each list individually.
Let's say our culling pattern is KDDDKDD (repeat as needed). K = Keep, D = Ditch. If a column contains 18 points, the pattern needs to be repeated until it is 18 items long. In this case:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
K D D D K D D K D D D K D D K D D D
We can now cull each column, but they will all be culled in the same way. By shifting the pattern one more index for each column, we can cycle the culling.
The fix incidentally is to Shift the pattern PRIOR to repeating it. Then it works as expected:
