2. See this? It's a abstract (for the moment) layout of some WIP thing: Imagine a region where "evenly" random points are placed (and then a random zNoise is added) - then a ball-pivot/delauney triangulation is applied ... then ... :
2. I use my method to create "even" points (I suspect that David's is way better/faster/cooler ... but anyway): after a random point is found (inside the region) an additional check is performed: think of the point as a "candidate" that must "pass" a 2nd constrain: if the min distance from all the already found (random) points is smaller than a user defined one > reject and try again (the "try-again" thing [call it: min distance "loops"] is also user controllable). Thus that C# captured attempts to place 122 points but due to (a) the min distance constrain AND (b) the low (about 8 in this case) amount of "try-again" loops it finishes with "only" 59 (not a big deal for this case). The interesting part is that the attempts required are 1573 (~30 times the random points returned). Of course there's a lot of factors affecting this 1573 (variable) thing ... but don't stick to that.
3. So if David uses a "similar" culling method (add some " " more, he he) ... for 80K points ... well we are talking about a BIG number of attempts.
I can provide you with a "no-even" random points C# that (I assume/guess/hope) can speed things a bit (after all: who's gonna notice an "even" random distribution of 80K points within a micro cube?).

his comes in the form of an HTML page with links to every component, so you will need to view it in your web browser. (I use Chrome and it doesn't seem to be working correctly, but when opened in IE its fine.)
2) Included in each help topic for each component is the Inputs and Outputs descriptions and data types.
3) You supply the data. What you supply and how you supply it is for you to decide. There are umpteen different ways. Are you asking for a list of those ways for each input?
4) Points can either be Rhino objects or 3D co-ordinates. To create a point you can use any of these methods, but it mostly comes down to user preference. I like using Panels as this displays outside of the component.
5) Because of the nature of vectors they represent magnitude and direction but they don't have an independent location, so there is a component that will display vectors in Rhino.
6) The user.
7) There is a Primer on the front page. Here you find the Basics, but because GH is ever evolving in its current beta state you might find things that aren't relevant any more or simply don't work the same. And here is the reason why nobody is writing an update because it could be soon out of date.
8) Importing images by either dragging them from explorer onto the canvas or right click context menu Image...
9) Single line = Single Item of Data. Double line = Multiple items of data on the same Branch. Dashed Double Line = Multiple Data on Multiple Branches.
10) User preference
11) Toolbar management is probably the bane of David's life. Most things are logically placed. For example the Curve Tab, Primitives are any simple curve types that you are creating from scratch. Similarly Splines is for more complex curve types created from scratch. Analysis is where you find components that are finding answers supplied by curves, control points, curvature, parameters, end points etc. Division is a subset of this category but has a group of its own. And Utilities is where you find curve related actions that you want to perform, offsetting, rebuilding projecting, exploding etc.
12) I would image it would have been the Point On Curve component in Curve>Analysis. Why that group? You are not putting a point on a curve you are analysing a curve for the location of a point based on some parameters that you are supplying. For example "what is the mid point?"
I hope this goes some way towards answering you questions. No doubt this will have generated more so don't be afraid to ask, it took me several releases of Explicit History (aka Grasshopper) before I realised what the egg did, it never occurred to me that I could put my objects into Rhino when I was finished. Or the fact that I could use panels to 'see' data outputs.
Al the best,
Danny…

should follow the instruction which mostapha has wrote in https://github.com/mostaphaRoudsari/ladybug/blob/master/resources/I...
Instructions for Installing Ladybug + Honeybee: (Follow steps 1-6 for basic functionality and 1-11 for full functionality) 0. If you have an old version of LB+HB, download the file here (https://app.box.com/s/ds96em9l6stxpcw8kgtf) and open it in Grasshopper to remove your old Ladybug and Honeybee version. 1. Make sure that you have a working copy of both Rhino and Grasshopper installed. 2. Open Rhino and type "Grasshopper" into the command line (without quotations). Wait for grasshopper to load. 3. Install GHPython by downloading the file at this link (http://www.food4rhino.com/project/ghpython?ufh) and drag the .gha file onto the Grasshopper canvas. 4. Select and drag all of the files in the "userObjects" folder (downloaded with this instructions file) onto your Grasshopper canvas. You should see Ladybug and Honeybee appear as tabs on the grasshopper tool bar. (If you are reading this instruction on github you can download them from http://www.food4rhino.com/project/ladybug-honeybee) 5. Download the files at this link (https://app.box.com/s/bh9sbpgajdtmmystv3n4), unzip them and copy the contents to both C:\ladybug and C:\Users\[yourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\Ladybug. 6. Restart Rhino and Grasshopper. You now have a fully-functioning Ladybug. For Honeybee, continue to the following: 7. Install Radiance to C:\Radiance by downloading it from this link (https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases/download/4.2.2/radiance-4...) and running the exe. 6. Install Daysim to C:\DAYSIM by downloading it at this link (http://daysim.ning.com/page/download) and running the exe. 8. Install Energy Plus 8.1 to C:\EnergyPlusV8-1-0 by going to the DOE website (http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/energyplus_downlo...), making an account, going to "download older versions of EnergyPlus, selecting 8.1 and running the exe. 9. Copy falsecolor2.exe (http://pyrat.googlecode.com/files/falsecolor2.exe) and evalglare.exe (http://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/downloads-englisch/software/evalgla...) to C:\Radiance\bin 10. Download the OpenStudio Libraries (https://app.box.com/s/y2sx16k98g1lfd3r47zi) and unzip them to C:\ladybug\OpenStudio. 11. You now have a fully-working version of Ladybug + Honeybee. Get started visualizing weather data with these video tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLruLh1AdY-Sj_XGz3kzHUoWmpWDX...).
It works for me..

sando las nuevas tecnologías de la información en la arquitectura para la gestión del conocimiento de sistemas que desarrollen estructuras sustentables, desde los procesos de diseño generativos o algorítmicos. Donde se contempla la P.O.O. (programación orientada a objetos) como nuevo lenguaje de expresión para el arquitecto-diseñador en el siglo XXI.Los talleres están pensados para sigan un hilo conductual en el que al mismo tiempo que se enseña se investiga y experimenta. Por primera vez se contará con diversos miembros de SEED como docentes de forma presencial y por video conferencia, logrando de esta forma acercar a los especialistas que se encuentran en Europa a los asistentes de los talleres sin encarecer los costos.+info:http://www.studioseed.net/ adn-methodology/

used of 180 being for the northern hemisphere and 0 for the southern hemisphere.For the optimal tilt, to my knowledge, they are mostly based on correcting location's latitude through a single formula.TOF component is more sophisticated. It essentially replicates the Solmetric's Annual Insolation Lookup tool.What it does is that it creates a grid of points. Each point represents the calculated annual insolation on the surface (PV module, SWH collector, facade, any kind of surface) for a single tilt and azimuth angle.Each point is then elevated according to the annual insolation values. The mesh is created from that grid of points. The portion of the mesh which is the highest, represents the optimal tilt and azimuth angles. So the higher your "precision_" input is, the more points in a mesh you'll have - thus the more precise final optimal tilt and azimuth will be.For the diffuse component of the annual incident solar radiation for each point the Perez 1990 modified model is used. Direct is from classical cosine law, and Ground reflected component from Liu and Jordan (1963).So TOF component calculates the optimal tilt and azimuth based on annual incident solar radiation, not AC energy....…
