ort and export from the images below and also from the HELP file of DB in attachments (Page 71: Importing Geometric Data; Page 78-80: Import 3 - D CAD Data). In their HELP file, they mention about "import geometric data".
However, regarding the input of schedules, loads, constructions and etc., DB normally uses "Component " and "Template" (Page 29: Templates And Components; Page 591: Templates; Page 533: Components). "Templates" are databases of typical generic data, including Activity templates, Construction templates, Glazing templates, Facade templates, HVAC templates, Location Templates, and etc. "Component " are databases of individual data items (e.g. a construction type, material, window pane).
Both "Component " and "Template" are allowed to be imported and exported by using "Import / Export library data" command (.ddf format - DB Database File; Page 734: Import Components/Templates, Export Components/Templates). DB also allows us to build up our own libraries of templates and components (Page 731: Library Management; Page 733: Template Library Management).
In order to import both geometric information and other information related to schedules, loads, constructions and etc. from GH to BD, we supposed the following two ways:
1. GH(HB+GB) --> gbXML (both geometric and "Component " and "Template" information) --> DB
This is the way we most prefer. We did see information related to schedules, loads, constructions encoded in the gbXML file generated by GB, but still do not know the reason why DB did not take this information (I also mentioned this in Q6 within the gh file). We assume this might because the gbXML file we create encodes the schedules based on a different template / schema than the one DB expects. We also post this question to the DB forum for help.
(http://www.designbuilder.co.uk/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,25/page,viewtopic/p,13755/#13755)
2. GH(HB+GB) --> gbXML (geometric information only) + .ddf ("Component " and "Template" information only) --> DB
If the first way doesn't work and DB only takes geometric information from the gbXML, then we might think of the other way - generating the .ddf files from GH(HB+GB) to pass the schedule, load and construction information to DB.
I was wondering if it is feasible for HB and GB to have this function? And what is your suggestion to achieve this?
In addition, we notice that DB can export XML files (not gbXML), so we are trying to figure out if DB also accepts / reads the XML file. If so, we might be able to convert the gbXML (with both geometric and schedule information) to XML. What do you think about that?
Thank you again for all your help!
Best,
Ding

J'aimerai essayer de créer un "bon maillage" qui se rapproche le plus de cette image :J'ai tout d'abord pris comme référence un maillage composé de plusieurs facettes triangulaire. Avec les outils "Weaverbird" j'arrive à recréer un cadre acceptable mais lors de l'offset avec Meshthicken je perds completement les arrêtes saillantes. ci joint :L'offset de l'image1 a été crée par Rhino mais n'est pas viable. Sur les forums on me conseille d'utiliser cytoskeleton mais je n'arrive pas a transformer mes mesh en "plankton mesh". Avez vous d'autres idées ? des conseils ...

its way into parametric design on 24th February – 2nd March 2014. The workshop is designed to fulfill students' as well as professionals' requirements. The exceptional 30 seat workshop is part of the regular series of events called Parametric Bratislava, which is itself a unique activity in the central-european space. One week long workshop focused on architectural form-making, usage of digital techniques of parametric design is going to lead participants to the new approaches in both, design and architecture. ECOTYPE workshop is going to take place on 24th February – 2nd March 2014 (1 day optional Crash course + 6 days main course) at the Faculty of architecture, Slovak University of Technology. Renowned Serbian experts from Grupa Arhitekata Jelica Jovanović and Dragana Petrović are going to join forces with Italian Noumena architects Aldo Sollazzo and Iker Mugarra Flores to bring together the natural and the digital. The workshop is going to look into digital sensing structure subsystems, constituted by associative simulations of the relations between tectonics and the environment in which human activities take place according to specific programs. It is going to provide and control a constant flow of information about the changing internal and external conditions which is processed by a computational subsystem articulated by Rhinoceros 5 ( NURBS-based 3D modeling software) + Grasshopper 3D & Sub-Plugins (generative computation tools). Through these means new design opportunities are going to be explored. The resulting proposal challenges conventions and the way that design is conceived, stepping away from linear process and embracing holistic approaches. ECOTYPE workshop is meant for intermediate Grasshopper users. For the newcomers there is going to be available an optional one day Rhinoceros 3D + Grasshopper Crash course with Ján Pernecký (rese arch) and Fabio Palvelli (3D-Dreaming.com). The beginners are going to learn basic NURBS modelling, import/export techniques, best drafting practices and basic Grasshopper scripting – workflow, parameters, components, data structures, attractors, surface subdivision, mathematical and logical operations. - Aldo Sollazzo focuses on exploring critical issues in architecture, design, and urbanism through parametric design, scripting, and fabrication strategies.
- Iker Mugarra Flores is mainly specialized in advanced geometries and logics, prototyping and fabrication, environmental morphologies and holistic approaches to large and small scale strategic design ecologies.
- Jelica Jovanović is within Docomomo working on proposals for the protection and sustainable preservation policies of the modern movement architecture in Serbia.
- Dragana Petrović specializes on Bioclimatic design in Architecture.
- Ján Pernecký - Architect, researcher, curator, programmer, organizer.
- Fabio Palvelli - Architect, designer, researcher and publisher of architectural projects, workshop organizer. ECOTYPE's approach is focused on the architectural view of the geometry. The participants are going to get acquainted with a vital tools for producing algorithm-driven shapes with a strong sustainable concept.

HiIf you are encountering a problem with rhino 6 versions don't worryFollow these steps.1. Download SYNTACTIC from https://sites.google.com/site/pirouznourian/syntactic-design2. Install it and go to the installation folder, Drag & drop SYNTACTIC(green one) over your grasshopper canvas.3. Close your rhino and reopen it. 4. Type GrasshopperDeveloperSettings5. Tick the Memory load *.GHA assemblies using COFF byte arrays option6. Run grasshopper and enjoy plugin
I hope this helps,
Best regards,

r interface to gsa, you'll find technical help/descriptions in it's help system. Certainly changing the type to Bar overrides any user defined releases.
The gsa solver must make special allowance for node "stability" when the elements connected are all bars (for rotation). If you're circumstance when you change type to Beams, your end releases are applied to axial and shear at all ends (note you can change the "close model" input on the solver component to false so you can see the analysis error). I think I previously discussed with Oasys about the COM interface sending back the "log" so I could display it in Grasshopper. Elements with axial and shear releases both ends are unrestrained, so it's causing the solver error. If you say released Fx and Fy at both ends it might work (I didn't test), certainly at one end only it should.
There's a hidden component (I can't remember if it's completed or not, i think so but not extensively tested) that can generate "tied interfaces" along edges of meshes to link nodes. Try dragging and dropping this string below onto the gh canvas.
{4661c381-1c36-4099-90f2-0d5cf0d30db3}
The trouble with rhino meshing is that polysurface edges can only have two adjacent faces, so getting coincident nodes along shared "edges" of surfaces is near impossible.
I do have some routines for "meshing" surfaces with simple geometry (ie 3 or 4 edged faces). This takes a distance setting and forces vertex spacing to respect this along edges, so tied interfaces wouldn't be necessary. If this is of interest, I'll see if I can provide it (or have done so) for the plugin. Let me know deadline/time frames you have for using this.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Jon…
ing topic, so I have followed every step in this discussion, including full uninstallation with Revo Installer Pro, restart and login in as Admin, UAC, turning off antivirus, full installation, and entering the commands in CMD with admin rights (replacing "your_regsvr32_folder_path" with my "C:\Windows\System32"). I have also tried the solution on page 2, namely typing:
%systemroot%\System32\regsvr32.exe /u /s c:\dev\mapwingis\mapwingis.ocx
%systemroot%\System32\regsvr32.exe /s c:\dev\mapwingis\mapwingis.ocx
However, I installed MapWinGIS-only-v5.0.1.0-x64.exe . Should I install the older version, MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe instead?
I am using Rhino 6.1.18037.13441, Grasshopper 1.0.0004, IronPython 2.7.5.0, Windows 10 64bit,
Thank you very much!

ive an interactive exhibit of sounds and visual effects. It will be a small existing space, or built room. The primary sensors will be a 4x4 grid of piezos in floor modules to emulate a common MIDI control surface. That signal will be generating MIDI notes, as well as manipulating geometry in grasshopper to be projected. I know there are other platforms for audio-video performance like this, but I would like to see how far I can get in Grasshopper.
I have succeeded in calibrating the floor pads to send MIDI messages to a program of my choice (working with Live). At this point there are a couple options as to how to integrate all these operations into Grasshopper, and I wanted to throw this to the community to see if anyone had some early guidance.
1. I assume I am going to have to write the MIDI transmit code into the Firefly Firmata sketch. My question is, will I still be able to drive MIDI via USB in Ableton Live while I read the same data into Grasshopper via USB? Or will my COM ports be hung up?
2. Assuming I can independently achieve the sounds I want in Live, and the video I want in GH... what seems to be the best course for achieving these simultaneously?

edefining the axis variables, logarithmic scales, display thresholds, better marking management - or at least add contrast!
Hey Fred,
thanks for the feedback! This is a basic version, and personally I used a custom component to read and parse the history files from the canvas to be able to e.g. scroll through generations and solutions or display more solutions at once (via pathes, mostly requires modification of the initial setup) ...
but you are right. I would love to bring the solution's navigation directly into the rhino viewport but I think that would be a major hack .. unless you can give me a hint how to do that. the displaying and user-preference-handling are besides a re-entrant history, some more algorithms and parallelization the next things to tackle, but display is definitely one of the easiest, so ... soon! work will begin in january i guess, since the project then starts i hope - but it will start for sure.
best

yes, your explanation sounds a bit freaky.
I post a a sample of a wheel arch (in attachment).
Would be great to see an example of your methods on this surfaces.
A pattern like the BMW Vision would be fine, don't take it to litterally but something like in the image below:
I know that the Trezor's hexagons can be done easily on a single surface like in this tutorial.
But trust me, in the real world that front panel would be at least made from 2 slabs surfaces and one fillet surface.
This rear is probably a better example (is fully covered from hexagons too):
Maybe again the best solution is just to do it on a plane and then morph it on the Brep like this guy does:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjC6ZGP6OSM
Also for the BMW Vision it does not really look like made from one surface, the more so that there is a feature line passign through.
Would you suggest me any resource where to learn bits of the process that you explained in your previous post?
@Erick: Thanks, it was really interesting to go throught your GH definition, but I don't think it solves my issues. In your example if you had any definition inside your surfaces it would have been gone lost. And if you did not have any definition, I don't see any point in having a Brep representing that topology, a 1 surface would be fine so the problem would not exist.
