2. Even cooler would be to make some kind of presentation preview. (GH disappears, rhino goes to fullscreen mode with somehow integrated remote panel). I like to watch apps/scripts made with processing, where sliders are really minimalistic.
3. Presentation preview may be optionally locked with password.
I realize that GH isnt processing, but this would be nice addition.

next level.
This Parametric Design course will provide the participants with the necessary knowledge and ability to use Grasshopper, a free visual programming plugin in Rhinoceros; you will be guided through a series of hands-on exercises that highlight NURBS modeling and its concepts. We will introduce Grasshopper as a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3D modeling tools. You will also learn how Rhino is used to render models for visualization, translate 3D models for prototyping, and export 3D models into 2D CAD or graphics programs.
English is the course main language.

r even a geometry.
We want to develop open source architecture, and be able to reuse easily open source elements of projects shared by the community.
We are interested to display the 3D files in the browser, thanks to connection with external services like http://beta.speckle.xyz or others though at the moment it is not yet available.
When I discovered the grasshoper forum, I liked the fact that people talk very openly about their modelling problems and share definition files...
But I think Bricks could be a complementary publication mode, to find in a glance an element with all its geometry and a link back to the forum post to join the discussion.
Indeed when I work as an architect, I have not always the time to browse a forum with all its discussions to find a suitable element for my project.
I've quickly reposted 2-3 forums posts to test it out.
I would love to have your feedbacks on this new way of publishing grasshoper definition files and more globally 3d reusable geometries.
Here you can see a single definition or the list of definitions that can be classified at the left thanks to custom categories.
If you create an account and upload a few definitions and 3d images and files, you could also tell us, what you think of this process.

console app into "Rhino\System\" directory the program runs fine. I've searched for days regarding the loading of dll's but to no avail. Could it be that the Rhino dll's are protected in the program files directory? The code is very simple, please take a look.
using Rhino.Geometry;using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Text;namespace Rhino{ class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Point3d j = new Point3d(1, 1, 1); Point3d k = new Point3d(2, 2, 2); List<Point3d> list = new List<Point3d>(); list.Add(j); list.Add(k); Console.WriteLine(new List<Point3d>{j,k}); Point3d p = Point3d.Add(j, k); Console.WriteLine(Point3d.ArePointsCoplanar(list, 1.0)); Console.Read(); } }}

precise) that unfortunately has more than one staff. This means that I pay the bills (unfortunate to the max). Practice is vertical meaning no Structural/HVAC etc services.
2. AEC Projects are made by teams. Period.
3. Teams are organized with some sort of hierarchy. Period.
4. On each team there's always one leader. Teams can being sampled in group teams - call them clusters (kinda like a List of List of ...)
5. All cluster leaders report to the supreme human being (yours truly). Leader heads are always on my disposal (it's fun to decapitate someone: I do this every Monday).
6. AEC projects are made with 1% idea(s) and 99% of what we call "sludge" (this is not my job: I'm the One , he he).
7. You can't steer any boat if you don't know each @@$#@ nut and bold. In the past there was a naive approach on that matter (ruined automotive companies, potato chip makers, software vendors, political systems, secret service agencies ... etc etc).
8. Efficiency is above all (even above tax-free cash).
9, You can't do ANY AEC real-life thing with what GH has to offer (nor Rhino is an AEC BIM app - it would never be). You simply use GH as a supplement to Generative Components (and/or as stand alone because it's good fun). There's nothing that GH does (I'm speaking solely for AEC as always) that can't being done with Generative Components.
10. I've done so fat 257 projects (a "bit" bigger than a house, he he). Let's say about 51427 drawings (master, master details, details) and 78956 lines of text (specs, cost estimations, space schedules, supplier lists, contracts, cats and 1 dog).
If you combine all the above you'll have the answer (i.e. why I use solely - if possible - code and not GH components). If you can't combine them I'm sorry.
PS: C# is the absolute standard (never judge a language as a "stand-alone" thingy).

t, you can find it in this thread.
2. there can be several reasons why Wasp chooses always the same part (rules, part geometry, connections orientation, etc.). Unfortunately I cannot check your file, because the geometry is missing, and it is built with a very old Wasp version. I would suggest you to update the file to the latest Wasp version available here, include the Rhino file, and then I can take a look.…
nition, not a GH bug, but this gave me a little idea: as I saw in the last version of GH, the clusters are back. There is no link with the memory, but this is the idea: I know that GH is not a multi-threaded app, but could it be possible to assign the execution of these different clusters to, let's say one processor-core each? (in a distributed-rendering like interface: cluster A rendered by core 1, B by core 2, etc.) And as GHowl allows to send datas through networks, it could also be possible to link multi-sessions of GH on different PCs as well, no? ...…
priety software). Think Kangaroo with RON 100 fuel (add some nitrous oxide).
Back to domes.
1. Obviously you know the free WinDome Bono thing...but anyway get it (code included).
2. As I said on another thread (http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/the-necessity-for-a-data-tree-manager) ... the big thing in AEC (because, for instance, nobody does domes for decoration/artistic stuff etc etc) is how to implement already designed things (see images above) within a smart stuff definition (or many).
3. Goes several steps beyond: these "breps" (to speak GH/Rhino language) are in most cases nested and some parts are "locked" for transformations some other not. That's the big thing when trying to outline real-life AEC solutions in the so called Smart applications. I think that this is not doable in Rhino since there's no way to edit (in place) a nested block.
4. Goes even further: for each custom made thing (truss nodes and the likes) ... there's a bill waiting. Meaning that the less customized a solution is (with regard industrial sourced existed parts) the more is possible for the client to sign the dotted line.
Best, Peter…
subsequently able to retain a higher level of flexibility.
In Rhino however a rectangle is defined as only a plane and two numeric intervals (one for x, one for y). The possible solutions to this would be:
Extend the Rhino SDK Rectangle3d type to include constant radius fillet corners. This can be done, but is a lot of work and will break the SDK.
Create a new type in Grasshopper which is smarter than Rectangle3d. This complicates developing for Grasshopper because now you have to keep two different types in mind whereas before only one was needed.
Remove the Fillet Radius input from Rectangle components. I like this solution because it results in cleaner, simpler code, but it does mean people may need to use two components where before one was sufficient.
Make the Rectangle type smart enough so that it can recognise filleted rectangles and undo the filleting. This is something I can do right now for Grasshopper 1.0 and it in all likelihood would not break actual existing files even though it is technically a behavioural change.
I'll try and get (4) done for Rhino 6 SR1, I might decide to do (3) for Grasshopper 2.0. I sincerely doubt that (1) will ever get done and I dislike (2).…
