some weird engine, you know, he he) IS NOT like designing plain vanilla AEC things.
Therefore features/calculation methods/capabilities as found in MCAD apps (considered off topic by many in our trade) are mandatory for certain types of designs.
Anyway and if we forget FEA stuff, currently I have 3 C# goals:
(1) master the art of controlling the placement of existed blocks in GH defined topology(done),
(2) master the art of baking blocks(done) and
(3) master the art of baking heavily nested blocks that NX/Catia can understand (progress is slow).
…
Or if this doesn't work the the lines who's end points Y value doesn't match
5) join all remaining curves. this gives you polylines for each row.
6) From these you can extract control points that will be on differrent branches
i would demonstrate this but i'm stuck watching the wedding at a friend's and until mcneel makes a rhinoid with gh app you'll have to wait 'til later…
omponents and Revit means Dynamo.
Both are masterminded by the very same fella (Robert Aish: an ex Bentley R&D head, then Autodesk paid more [life sucks]).
AECOSim eats Revit for breakfast but has a far steeper learning curve ... meaning that the masses would opt for Revit.…
emble machines (and require custom Articles for specs, cost pre-estimation and the likes).
Putting yourself against that "forest" you should answer the question N1: you want to just use (the unsafe option) these or cross the Rubicon and collaborate in some way with the software vendors? (the safe option plus numerous benefits: knowing what's in the pipeline years ago, solving bugs in no time etc etc etc).
The question N2 is: do you get involved (or you want to) in "developing" all that the one way or the other? If yes using what "platform"? (so to speak).
The question N3 is: what are your estimations concerning the future in our trade? (count the tremendous acceleration of things as well plus the unavoidable AI factor (sooner or later)).
By answering these 3 ... you can easily answer the other questions of yours.
Bad news: future is past already.…
is a exhibition building) generic outline (easy with GH), (b) real nested parametric part inclusion in the definition (hmm), (c) a GH ability to bake structured geometry to Rhino...and then Rhino (acting as a "companion" app to a given AEC app + FE analysis + cost analysis + ...) export properly structured data.
2. "Whole" and "Detail" here are tightly related : there's no meaning to promote an "idea" without solving the nuts and bolts of it. This is the so called "bottom-to-top" design mentality.
It's a mystery to me why GH doesn't include, say, some ways to control bake on a per block basis (actually on a per nested block basis).

j. to rhino for architectural scenes.
(unispiring ... I admit)
On recent iOS the app doesn´t work any more, so I figured out, if I should think about making a "light" version of that plant growing thing, with a definition on GH,...
I try to imagine any kind of simple setup to start with,
since I am a middle / low skilled GH user celebrating allways the taste of succes ...running an ordinary GH definition.

basis).
2. Rhino does not have a proper object display capability (objects per layer per view basis and/or per "collections" per view).
3. TSplines does NOT have any on-the-fly coordinate system definition capability (making "edit" a pointless waste of time). A small example about what this means as regards view navigation matters: imagine "hoovering" along a myriad of 3d objects: if you choose/opt for it: the moment that you touch an element (that could define a vector): this instantly becomes the working plane Z axis (very common capability in top MCAD apps). Not the same as a SpaceNavigator controller mind (far from it).
If these 3 were available > rebuilding anything with TSplines could be a joy (and very fast: about 2 minutes for your mesh)
Get this as well - Load Rhino file first attached in my previous reply (just for fun: not for your case, but we could do an extra WOW MERO spaceframe out of this paranoid M mesh).
BTW: Exo W is "tricky"…
mation capabilities, feature driven modelling etc etc. If you are not familiar with these find a friend of yours and ask a kinematic demo (best is the notorious Siemens/NX a click above CATIA).
Alternatively have a look on Modo 8 (stunning animation capabilities - but solely key-frame based).…
question. Why are you using Win 8 or Win 10, instead of staying with Win7 ?The 102 page long EULA from Microsoft asks you to accept, prior to the install, should give any thinking person pause, and to think carefully before he or she is accepts the consequences of installing Win 8 or Win 10.No IT profession would allow any company to install Windows 8 or 10 on their companies computer networks. Imagine for a moment your Doctor installed Windows 10, and now all his daily clients details are shared with Microsoft. Or imagine for a moment your Lawyer installed Windows 10, and now all his daily clients details are shared with Microsoft.Win 8 or 10 is an open apps shared OS that lacks any sense of network security.... stay with Win 7!…
e buttons that need pressing and then call Button.PerformClick() on them. But that requires a .NET exe.
I think you're out of luck in this case, there do exist automation tools on Windows that can start apps and press certain buttons, but I do not know which ones are good and which ones can be controlled via command-line arguments.…
