instead of ballooning outwards, just puffing upwards.
THIS WILL WORK! Creating the mesh springs is only three seconds for 200X200 and the Unary Force is still milliseconds. Only Kangaroo takes an initiation time then cycles rapidly (0.5 seconds each) and it only takes a few cycles, maybe a dozen or two.
There is considerable 3D aliasing from the 2D mesh crudeness.
Now, to best Laurent's scheme, let's double down to 400X400. First I disable Kangaroo, and the timer. The preparation takes...FOREVER....and...ever...4.6 minutes to cull the points is all, a trivial step there is likely a better strategy for than finding the ones on the inside then using those to cull duplicates from the whole collection. The springs only took 12 seconds and the forces again milliseconds.
Kangaroo, to initialize takes...after hitting the reset button to start it...over 15 minutes and counting...well 400X400 is 160K vertices and Rhino tends to bog down at 30K points...but it was done in 30 minutes. Then I enable the timer and each cycle takes...uh...it's not in any error mode but nothing is happening past a very faint first automatic cycle that shows in the mesh...yet no CPU power is being used by Rhino...well...it's simply not running...ah, well, there's just a dummy delay of another 5 minutes and then the cycles take 2.7 seconds...what a stupid delay that was not using CPU power.
Now that it's cycling, can I change the stiffness in real time, usually I can...well, no, I seem to be back in the 5 minute delay, but not the 30 minutes interface-locking one...still waiting. Here is a 1/4 scale height model of the above output:
Time's up, life goes on. The aliasing and slow speed make it unworkable except for little logos or something. Some math and parallel processing are needed?

ariations, but each seems to lack the sophistication to generate a ‘zip’ that retains its general shape over the whole curve.
Basically I’m trying to understand the process behind this: http://www.schindlersalmeron.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=27&Itemid=29
Here is an image of the latest definition.
1. I draw a curve in Rhino, and then define it in grasshopper. I also define the point as the beginning of the curve.
2. I offset the curve to a specified depth, based on structural member
3. I generate a line from the point at a tangent to the curve, then rotate it a
defined angle.
4. I find the intersection between the rotated line and the offset curve. Then generate a tangential line from this new point
5. Line is rotated at the same angle as before.
6. Process repeated.
The idea is to then generate a circle of defined diameter at each of the intersection points, then find the intersection of the circles with the curves, which are then joined up with straight lines to create the ‘zip’. This would mean a lot of copy-pasting and list management that I’m not really capable of with my limited grasshopper experience.
I had tried generating points at intervals along the curve and then eventually generating lines from one line to another with a shifted listed to form the tooth angle, but it wouldn’t retain its shape over the entirety of the curve.
Does anyone have any advice for how to tighten up this definition? I imagine that I will need to delve into vb.net scripting to address the recursive nature of the process.
I fear that I’m going about this in entirely the wrong way...
Of course the next step is to flatten out the curve for CNC manufacture.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! The potential for using grasshopper in design is amazing, and I would love to gain a deeper understanding of it!…
ation production and consumption that represent our physical world in numbers and complex networks. The advent of computational systems has not only helped in developing data production but also in transmitting data between different disciplines including architecture through fields of numbers/codes. Historically, numbers and proportions played a vital role in architectural production, now; the complex flow of data is opening unexpected territories for architects. Data Flow is an advanced computational design workshop that focuses on capturing, processing and utilizing real time data from the surrounding environment by means of physical computing and parametric design tools, enabling the participants to develop informed design solutions that adapt to the environment. The workshop knowledge objective is to reconsider abstract data as a design opportunity by developing the quantitative flow of data as a qualitative design approach. /// Application To apply, please follow this link to fill the application form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xzKn-cZzfvu24ktTNP1ElGBAufdryfLNCXvpheucrS8/viewform /// Fees* 1700 EGP for students / 2000 EGP for graduates and young professionals * 20 % discount for early registration and payment before 22 nd of August 2014 more info on the workshop webpage: http://www.encodestudio.net/#!dataflow/cslb…
supplied _values of _keys" notice.I tried running the "OSM 3D" component first with groundTerrain_ input. As I did not get the upper notice message, I closed down the whole Rhino so that I cut the waiting time. Then I tried running it without the groundTerrain_ input, and in some 15 minutes I got the following buildings:
I think I may understand what was causing the problem: when one takes large radii, it covers large areas, and with this area comes large number of information (keys and values). You can get hundreds of keys (or thousands). What can happen is that: these hundreds of keys, can exceed shapefile's capacity to story keys. So basically in case of radius 750 meters your "height" or "buildings:levels" keys somehow slipped beyond this allowable capacity. In case of 800 meters they were somehow allowed to enter (a bit bad term sorry) before the allowable capacity is reached. This depends on the number of keys named with letters which precede the "h" and "b".The best way to solve this issue is to know which data do you actually need, and use the "OSM Keys" component to generate the list of needed keys. In this way, only those keys that you need will be used, others will be disregarded.You do not even have to use the "OSM Keys" component if you know which specific keys you exactly need. Check the attached file below. I grouped the "OSM Keys" solution as "a" and a custom defined list of keys as "b".
2) The component running time might now be cut with picked "requiredKeys_" input I mentioned at the end the previous 1) part.
3) "OSM 3D" component's "randomHeightRange_" input is suppose to do exactly that: to randomly create 3d buildings (or 3d trees) when there are no valid "height" or "buildings:levels" tags.I have just changed one line the "OSM shapes" component code.I wonder if it would make any problem on your PC.Please let me know if LocationGrabber03_Gismo2.gh file works.…

nteraction in the design of an enclosed volume.
Revolutions have occurred through architectural history and vary widely in terms of design methods and fabrication techniques. Focusing on inspiring natural form‐finding techniques, AA Athens VS works towards producing a large‐scale interactive prototype that alters in real‐time the perception of interior space.
Technology and architecture are coupled for the third year in Athens with a novel agenda of transforming an enclosed area and creating internal contrasting city‐life characteristics that transcend the local conditions. In collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens, Cipher City: Revolutions explores participatory design and active engagement modeling and continues building novel prototypes upon horizontal planes.
The toolset includes mainly ‐among others‐ Rhino Grasshopper, Processing and Arduino platforms. With the completion of the Programme participants receive the AA Visiting School Certificate. In 2013, the design agenda of AA Athens will connect with the agenda of AA Greece VS in the city of Patras. Participation in both Programmes will allow for a more extensive learning experience through additional tools like Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3D Studio Max and more.

with Istanbul Technical University, will continue to rediscover verticality through novel generative design techniques and large-scale physical prototypes. Abstracted as a fusion of various sub-systems, each subsystem of the tower will be investigated in relation to their various performance criteria. The correlations between the separate sets of performance criteria and evaluation methods will be analyzed, leading to the generation of unified design alternatives for a vertical system typology. In addition to the custom-made digital design and evaluation tools supporting the core methodology, Vertical Interventions will also highlight the fabrication and assembly of a large scale working prototype integrating the performative characteristics of each system in examination.
As in 2012, the design agendas of AA Athens and AA Istanbul Visiting Schools will directly create feedback on one another, allowing participation in either one or both Programmes.
