xtract picture frames with one small app[adapter]. I get a total of 131 images, [ So in fact they are the same as screenshot] and I use this image as imagery to 3d photogrammetry. Probably this is incorrect, but it's how far I can go without drones in place.…
onstrates the following:
1. The definition's functionality employing HumanUI for the custom user interface.
2. The evaluation of the definition's ability to handle different point cloud data sets.
3. Video reports with the definition's results, depicting the image acquisition path.
The process is displayed in real time, with minor speed up in some parts. The setup is responsive and benchmarks show that change between dense point cloud data sets is pretty quick (13-15M points, 40-250 images), with updates being calculated in impressive timings.
I would like to thank Heumann A. and Zwierzycki M. who provided direct support with HumanUI and Volvox. Also Grasshopper3d forum users Maher S. and Segeren P., who contributed with Rhino viewport manipulation scripts.

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.

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.

th a graphic editor (GH) hosted in a CAD app that has primitive assembly/component capabilities and/or feature driven ops (Rhino). Did I've mentioned that Rhino is a surface modeler? (meaning the obvious).
3. Imagine a "seed" collection of assemblies related with various membrane components made in SW. Say: geometry (prior solid ops) and parameters (the feature driven part of the equation, in most of cases managed with some RDBMS). You should port these to GH (a variety of ways exist for that) and create the bare minimum of "solids" in GH as instance definitions. There's 2 main reasons to do that: (a) effectively communicating back on an assemply/component schema (via STEP) and ... (b) achieving manageable collections when in GH. These are critical for clash detection (when outlining some topology in GH, therefore NEVER work just with "curves") and "variation" control of some sort (up to a point). Of course for high class designs (where the devil hides in the details) this is NOT the best imaginable solution ... you'll need CATIA for such an integrated (all in one) procedure. On the other hand many could (wrongly) argue that CATIA is expensive (rather naive argument if a company has a certain turnover).
4. So, in general I would strongly suggest to use instance definitions of items in some sort of "intermediate state" of detail (an 100% undoable task without code) structured in such a way (classic assembly/component MCAD mentality blah, blah) that SW could take benefit of a possible modified "base topology" and proceed by finishing variations of the given assembly (feature driven stuff as usual).
5. Then export (STEP 214) back portions of the assemblies (and parameters used) to R/GH if and when this is required (for instance for BIM disciplines ... but Rhino is not a BIM app, nor it would ever be).
6. If you are familiar with code matters ... start thinking the whole puzzle that way, if not my advise is to find someone to design such a "procedure" (say an "app") using solely code, but this is not a task for the inexperienced by any means.
best, Peter…
installing or running.Here is the direct link to download the PanelingTools installer. Simply double click the downloaded file and follow the prompts to install:https://www.rhino3d.com/download/panelingtools/1/wip/rcImportant Note:You will need the latest Rhino 6 Beta to run the new PanelingTools. Download from here:https://www.rhino3d.com/download/rhino-for-windows/betaIf you own Rhino 5.0 License, then you can access Rhino 6 Beta now. Grasshopper installs and runs as part of Rhino 6 Beta.You can download older versions of PanelingTools and access documentation from one of the following:- PanelingTools Wiki: https://wiki.mcneel.com/labs/panelingtools- PanelingTools at Food4Rhino: http://www.food4rhino.com/app/panelingtools-rhinoA great place to post questions and suggestions is the McNeel Discourse Forum:https://discourse.mcneel.com/For those of you using PanelingTools in Rhino Mac, you can continue to access PT thought the commandline (type pt, and the commands will auto-complete). You can also access PT Grasshopper components by following the instructions here:http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/panelingtools/forum/topics/pt-gh-for-the-rhinowip-for-the-macRelease Notes November 14, 2017:-------------------- PanelingTools is now compiled against the public Rhino 6 SDK. This will help with quick updates and improvements independent of the Rhino release cycle.- Paneling data is compatible between Rhino 6 Beta and earlier Rhino versions.- ptGridExtrude1 allows defining a rotation base point when you set a rotation axis (from point becomes the base).- Fixed the paneling output of partial patterns when the grid does not extend far enough to accommodate a full unit pattern.- ptWeaveGrids has now an option to weave by columns. It used to support weaving by row only.- Writing a reading managed patterns has been re-written.- Fixed a number of various bugs.Enjoy!Rajaa IssaRobert McNeel & Associates…
, HVAC, blah blah).
BIM is NOT a parametric process at least having in mind graphical editors the likes of GH (or stuff the likes of Generative Components): it's a holistic data management approach. Some concepts used in BIM apps (for instance in AECOSim etc) the likes of "walls"/"openings" etc are "parametric" in the sense that allow auto perforation of this with that. On the other hand AECOSim is feature driven (since Microstation works in that "mode" as well) ... a thing that complex things even more with regard what is actually "parametric" and what not.
BIM is as good as the meta data structure is (especially the spec related aspect - Goggle MasterFormat and the likes). BIM AEC apps are notoriously incapable to work (without a lot of lines of code) with proper RDBMS. On the other hand Bentley Systems ProjectWise ... well ... but that's another animal (by no means a topic for the inexperienced).
In descending order or importance a contemporary AEC practice should use:
1. A general information "controller" like ProjectWise (who said/did what/when/why).
2. A Specs (say CSI - not the TV soap opera) management app.
3. Several Meta data RDBMS.
4. A BIM suite of apps.
5. Optionally some parametric thingy.
PS: For AEC ... when inviting the parametric thingy to the party you have only 2 options:
ProjectWise + AECOSim + Generative Ciomponents (my choice).
?? + Revit + Dynamo.
