3. Delete the left C# that does the Ziggurat (and feeds the truss maker with the "skin").
4. Remove all the comments of type "don't touch ..." > be brave.
5. Create any spiral surface (like the ones shown as demos) in Rhino. Or Any List of surfaces (say: one spiral surface and some others - but better start with ONE test surface). DO NOT use trimmed surfaces (only my "pro" C# truss maker does this - but it's incredibly complex to handle it). In fact ... you can use them ... but forget it, for the moment.
6. Feed this green GH component shown (aka: the Red pill [Matrix], he he) with your surface(s) > surrender to the crazy world of trusses.
7. Listen to some appropriate stuff .

ick to the Bezier span option (because this "guarantees" the LESS visual gap when lofting - actually that's a lie but stick to the plan) .
1. If we had ONE pair "suitably" oriented then things could be a bit more easier. But ... there's a bunch of pairs around and IF your pairs are different (in the true sense of the liquid madness, he he) ... well we need a policy:
2. Find either (a) the centroids of (b) the min distance points and define an "axis".
3. Find the ccx pts (case a) or use points from (b) and change the curve seams to these. This yields curves that start/end at some controlled "neighbor" points (critical if your curves are different or "twist" - as pairs - etc etc). This is ALSO critical when you want peace of mind when lofting (or use sweep1) because don''t get for granted what the Loft options component claims by the "adjust seams" thingy.
4. Optionally change the 2nd curve orientation in order to get a clock wise + anti clock wise pair. More on that later (is related with other methods to "fuse" this with that).
5. Define points at each curve using a pair of double values (0-1 if the pair domains are 0-1).
6. Split the curves (get the segments that you want) and define pairs of vectors (at end/start segment pts) that could give us 2 bezier spans.Don't forget to control the vector "lengths".
7. Unite the spans with the segments.
If all the above fail ... well... there's always the Plan B: I could post the C# that does this and several other ways to "fuse" curves plus a curve maker that is rather suitable for your tower adventures.

updater successfully, but then the newest components don't work. try running the updater again and it says that the update is already installed.
Resolution:
Step 1-(If in windows, you will need modify your folder view to include "show hidden files, folders and drives" to see all the folders in this path.)
Navigate to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\Plug-ins\PanelingTools {6CAED836-BC06-4EBC-B1FD-E10886A0DC94}\2012.4.30.1332\(32 bit or 64 bit, whichever is appropriate for your machine).
NOTE: The folder name has the date. The current working version I am using is in the folder listed above) I have found that the updater sometimes does "repoint" rhino to the newest version. (that will be step 2).
There should be 3 files in this folder:(the modified date on the files should be 5/4/2012)
PanelingTools.rhp
PanelingToolsDotNet.dll
PT_SDK.dll
Right click on each of the files individually and choose properties. If there is an "Unblock" button, click it to unblock the file. Check each of the 3 files. (if the "Unblock" button is not there, then you can go to step 2).
STEP 2:
Open rhino and go to the plugin manager. scroll down to paneling tools, right click and choose properties. The file path at the bottom of the properties page should point to your folder path you verified in step 1. I have found that in some cases, after running the updater, the plugin path is still pointing to the previous version. If that is the case, close rhino, go back to the folder path in step 1 and delete any older versions, (only keep the folder 2012.4.30.1332).
Re-open rhino and reload the correct version of the plug in. After successful loading, you should have a Paneling Tools drop down you Rhino menu bar.
The above steps have only verified that the correct version of paneling tools is loaded in rhino.
STEP 3:
Download the latest PTComponentLibrary.gha and place it in your Grasshopper components folder, (delete/remove any previous instances of PTComponentLibrary.gha.)
(From within grasshopper, choose File->Special Folders->Components Folder)
Once you copy it into that folder, right click on the file and choose properties. Make sure to "Unblock" that file as well.
close and re-open rhino. launch grasshopper. You hopefully have a paneling tools tab in your grasshopper toolbars.
I don't know if this is exactly your case, but for that was the solution path for a few folks in our studio that seemed to work.

t looking at it...She will join the conversation as soon as they accept her.
Thanks in advance, Claudio Original post from Claudia: Hi guys, I´m new in this forum and I hope I can find here a solution of my problem. I´m tring to do an energy simulation (and the next step would be the optimization with octopus) with honeybee and ladybug. I´m analyzing a floor of 2600mq with more than 2/3 of external walls glazed. I´ve got also 174 fins along the perimeter.
The problem is that when I run the simulation I recive these errors for each window:
** Severe ** GetHTSubSurfaceData: Surface Openings have too much area for base surface=EEE8110BF0A843E9A620_9 ** ~~~ ** Opening Surface creating error=GLZ_0_EEE8110BF0A843E9A620_9_A2E7F42406024C9A833A ** Severe ** GetSurfaceData: Zero or negative surface area[0.00000], Surface=EEE8110BF0A843E9A620_9
If i have understood well, according to .err file, the dimension of the window in rhino seems to be bigger then the wall. But it isn´t! i mean i´ve tryed also to put a frame to the windows or to scale them but i got the same results. Do you know why or how i can solve it??
aaand it isn´t finished! even if i checked my Rhino with "SelCrv, SelBadObject,selLine..." and i got "only" 303 surfaces and 3 polysurfaces i still can´t find the degenerate surface for which i have these errors:
** Warning ** GetSurfaceData: There are 2 coincident/collinear vertices; These have been deleted unless the deletion would bring the number of surface sides < 3. ** ~~~ ** For explicit details on each problem surface, use Output:Diagnostics,DisplayExtraWarnings; ** Severe ** GetSurfaceData: There are 1 degenerate surfaces; Degenerate surfaces are those with number of sides < 3. ** ~~~ ** These surfaces should be deleted. ** ~~~ ** For explicit details on each problem surface, use Output:Diagnostics,DisplayExtraWarnings; ** Fatal ** GetSurfaceData: Errors discovered, program terminates. ...Summary of Errors that led to program termination: ..... Reference severe error count=7 ..... Last severe error=GetSurfaceData: There are 1 degenerate surfaces; Degenerate surfaces are those with number of sides < 3.
Someone can help me? it´s three days that i´ve been struggling with this work, but still can´t find the solution :( Here i attach the rhino and gh file Thanks a lot Claudia…

2/ Optimization
2.1/ in prefabrication
2.2/ combinatorial
2.3/ approach comparisons (i.e. deterministic vs stochastic)
2.4/ share your research
2.5/ ... etc. the list goes on and on
3/ Share you design rationale and how computation fits in
4/ Need help with this problem...
5/ Challenges and workshops announcements
6/ CD News
7/ Share computational design projects under construction or built (akin to skyscrapercity)
8/ and so many other categories and sub-categories...
Just my first thoughts. That breakdown in optimization is just an example. Maybe 'sections' is an old-school way of seeing things, I just wanted to share some thoughts on the kind of content I look forward to seeing. It can be pragmatic topics, but also theoretical, and allow folks to share their projects and research. Some categories are specific, others broad. I suppose I'm interested in community building with regards to computational design. I think SmartGeometry attempted to accomplish this at some point in the past, to some degree. However their focus appears to be in the workshops and challenges.
I recall the silly flame wars that the CG industry had 20 years ago (lame). I'd avoid that, even if it meant forbidding the mention of any specific software in certain areas or in the entire forum. Which would be tricky, but the endless flame wars and silly comparisons were such a waste of everyone's time in CG.
Without dwelling on this too much yet, I think that the software specific questions belong in software specific forums. If we already had a common language for computational design, you'd just need to add the right description as a meta-tag to any Dynamo or Grasshopper forum post, and you'd be able to find analogous solutions in either forum effortlessly, right?
The Dynamo and Grasshopper forums lack design-centric content. The emphasis is generally on the tools and workflow. Computational design is hybrid in essence, it involves both design and computer programming (be it visual or textual). We could really use a forum for knowledge exchange where the expectation is that both are discussed with equal status.
I disagree that such a forum ought to exclude professional programmers. It should include professional programmers whom have an interest in design, and also include professional designers whom have an interest in computer programming, and everyone in between, and enthusiasts, and artists whom are curious about algorithms as a creative medium, and academics, and students, and etc etc. As long as there is rich content and activity on design as well, not only the computational bit, then the crowd will be diverse and we'll all have more to learn from one another.…
You are able to write an expression for parameter components, but as of yet I haven't found a variable that doesn't throw an error. For an "Integer" parameter, for instance, neither "Int" nor "7" works. :)
2) I know Clusters is still probably on the list for a major overhaul. But in the meantime... is it possible to add edit functionality that will actually update the component in the original definition?
3) Along separate lines... can we please please have edit user object capabilities? I find that now and then I want to edit one of my user objects and then I am forced to recluster, re-assign icon, rewrite description, re-add to user objects, etc. Would love to be able to just edit.
4) I'm getting used to the middle mouse menu... but I still don't like it. I don't find that it adds any real functionality or time savings, in fact I am generally faster at grabbing the icon from the menu bar I think. I don't think it's about how difficult it is to teach to newbies, for me it's more about making something more complicated than it needs to be. Also, the modal buttons don't really want to be buried in a hidden menu. If your solver is locked, for instance, you should see that modal toggle at all times. We had a student who had inadvertently locked his solver and it took a few minutes of debugging to discover what had happened, since the button is hidden in the spider-menu.
5) Any progress on Remote Control Panel or a custom Control Panel Mode as in Max/MSP?
I'm sure there are other things, but those are the biggest ones off the top of my head.
Cheers!
Marc
