ich is the following :
"in a box", i would like to create structure made by wooden blades that follow floor, wall and ceiling, but moving from this support due to "curves" which are the most important variables.
Here is my "logic". You will find enclosed to this post my files as well.
In bold what i'm unable to do by myself (i guess) :
Take the square of 25 m x 12 m ; make it a surface
I divide it in "blades" of 20 cm
I take the edges of the "blades"
I divide this edges in 40 points (or equivalent) (A)
I identify my curves (curves) which are on the floors
I identify the crosspoint between my edge-blade and the curves (B)
I have to test the difference between X Y Z of each A and B.
I have to test which B point is the closest of each A
Each A points which is close to B (Distance < 40 cm) must be on the floor
I have to input a math formula in order to représent the movement of A points regarding their distance to B (example : A1 Z = Distance between A1 and B / 2)
If there are 2+ B, that mean that i have "to do something" to get a correct movement. I mean
2 consecutives points must be on the same "plan"
2 height difference between each point must be 0 or a dedicated value
Regarding Ceiling, it is a duplication of the floor but there is coef to apply with Z distance.
2 parallele points on a define axis, example : X, and consecutive can't have more than 20cm of difference
When all points have moves regarding "parameters" and "curves"; i have to do curve linking all the point of a same "line".
After that i duplicate this curve to a upper curve.
Loft
Extrude surface and then, it's done ?
To be clear, i miss the part where i need to make my points move regarding variables...
I'm sorry, RHI Grasshopper projet.3dm does not represent the "need" to have to consecutive point on the same plan

mers considering extreme sports reject mainstream retailers and like to check out small stores rather of at chains plus malls. Several smaller retailers discuss trends in sports shoe sales. http://skateszone.com/
Though athletic shoes and sports stores and from doorways retailers have reported somewhat uptick in footwear sales due to the increase in extreme sports, the particular beneficiaries inside the trend are independent surf and skate niche stores.
Some West Coast surf and skate shops stated teenagers and even more youthful Generation Xers are not only rejecting traditional sports, but they're also shunning mainstream retailers and malls meant for smaller niche shops transporting hard-to-come-by brands.
Eddie Miyoshi, district manager at Atomic Garage, a 3-store chain situated in Gardena, Calif., stated the soaring recognition of skateboard footwear has boosted the retailer's total footwear business 20-thirty percent this year, rather of '95.
Skate footwear presently represent 80-90 % of Atomic Garage's shoe sales, while couple of years back, Dr. Martens and Timberland drove the retailer's footwear business.
Like many retailers, Miyoshi pointed to Airwalk since the trend's catalyst.
However, if Airwalk broadened its distribution to larger chains, which are frequently located in malls, only a few skate shoe customers adopted. Rather, many youthful males have switched for your skate shops for additional elusive brands like Etnies, Duffs, and Electricity Footwear by Circus. By refusing to market bigger retailers or sports stores, these brands are increasing their cachet among youthful consumers.
"Kids don't want stuff which have been within the shops,In . Miyoshi added.
Searching ahead, Miyoshi forecasted skate shoe sales will remain strong through spring '97 provided "the [hot] vendors don't auction other [non-particularly shop] retailers."
"Skaters and non-skaters are rebelling against mainstream retailers so on to surf and skate shops for many looks," echoed Mark Richards, co-online sources Val Surf, a 3-store chain situated in North Hollywood, Calif. Soaring sales of skate footwear have driven total footwear receipts up 25 percent this year rather of '95.
"The quantity of that increase might be connected while using exposure of maximum games? I am unsure. [Skate footwear] may also be actually the think about the moment,In . Richards acknowledged. And in relation to getting this right look, youthful customers can be very picky.
"Skateboard footwear is a huge category for people, but we're not able to own the brands, Etnies, Duffs, Electricity and Nice, simply because they won't sell us," stated Mark Anderson, buyer at Chick's Sports, a six-store chain in Covina, Calif. "We have people coming every single day requesting them." Consequently, skate footwear have consistently ongoing to obtain about 5 % of Chick's overall footwear business. http://skateszone.com/the-top-8-best-skateboards-for-beginners-reviews-2017/
Nonetheless, some outdoors, niche sports and sports retailers are noting the growing recognition and coverage of maximum sports will receive a modest impact on footwear sales. Trailrunning footwear and approach/outdoors crosstrainers will be the two groups benefiting the very best inside the recognition. Like the skate shoe business, some retailers realize that styling instead of function frequently drives sales of individuals footwear.
"At this time the merchandise is a lot more visual than function," stated Chet James, gm of Super Jock 'N Jill, Dallas, speaking about trailrunning footwear. Still, James noted the current hype over adventure sports helps draw more customer traffic. "The marketing campaigns and media help bring growing figures of people in, nonetheless they frequently occasions day an issue that increases results on their own account,Inch he conceded.
John Wilkinson, executive vp inside the 85-store chain Track 'N Trail, Eldorado Hillsides, Calif., stated the shop has "seen some activity in approach footwear," but he requested the amount of consumers depend in it commercially sport. And, instead of accelerating total footwear business, Wilkinson speculated elevated sales of approach footwear and trailrunners are gnawing away at traditional hiking shoe and boot volume.
But Dan Bazinet, president of Overland Exchanging, a 34-store chain situated in Westford, Mass., believes the company-new looks have breathed existence for the wilting hiking boot category. "[Approach-type footwear] don't represent the lion's participate the hiking market, nonetheless they have elevated the hiking business and provided us extra sales," Bazinet stated.
He designated Timberland's Treeline Series and Rockport's Leadville line as strong performers. Unsurprisingly, he noted the company-new looks are attractive to youthful consumer base than traditional hikers.
For that month of June, sales of men's hikers were up 49 percent at Overland, rather of June '95, while sales of women's hikers were up 17 % for that month. Bazinet also attributed elevated sales that shops walked inside the hiking business, departing that business for that specialists.
Some retailers draw a good example concerning the hiking boom of two yrs ago combined with the current extreme sport phenomenon. "Plenty of bigger chains will get a specific percent in the industry while [extreme] sports remain a fad because they are selling cost-point type gear," described Steven Carre, assistant hard goods buyer at Adventure 16, a six-store chain situated in Hillcrest.
"However individuals [true enthusiasts] will say `we need real gear' and may shown up at us. That will help us after a while. What Size Skateboard good for an 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 year old

I'm wondering how hard it would be to have an edit box which shows the
number the user could click inside of then type in a new number, then
hit enter. :)
2) How would I go about using one line from a table and assign each
field to a variable? Then, move a slider or something and use the values
from the next row?
background: I'm recreating elbows, Tees, and other fittings using
paramatric scripts, then baking and exporting them. Here's one source
table, http://www.wardfittings.com/Assets/PDFs/0902CatalogColorOld.pdf
page 5, the uniform elbows.
Current Setup: the attached ghx file. Create a point at 0,5,0 in a blank
document with units set to inches, then assign that point to the top
left 'Center Pnt' in the ghx file.
Current workflow:
a) Modify variables A, B, H, and Nominal Dia to match one line from the
table in the linked PDF file, page 5, table of regular elbows.
b) Select the 'Nodes' and 'Surfaces' with a drag box
c) Click 'Bake'
d) Switch to Rhino window, do the 'sellast' command.
e) Drag baked objects along Y axis so the center point is at 0,0,0
f) Run 'Join'
g) Run 'Cap'
h) set the 'node' points to a layer called 'nodes'
i) set the surface to a layer called 'fit-3d'.
j) select the surfaces and nodes
k) export selected
This elbow that I'm doing only has 12 rows, so doing it the above method
doesn't take THAT long. I'm also going to be doing a couple with larger
tables like the Tee on page 8, and in other spec files. As you can
imagine, entering in EACH value into a slider is a bit tedious.
I'd love to take the pdf table, run it through an OCR program to convert
to excel, modify the headers so the ghx script knows what they are, then
paste it into grasshopper, or save it and have grasshopper read it, and
I be able to move a slider or something to to select one line at a time.
Has anyone done something similar? ie: assigned one row in a table to a
predefined set of variables, each variable coming from one field in the row?
Thanks for taking the time to read this message. :)
I'm making a rhino script to do steps d-k, so that part will be much faster.

t know if it's common knowledge but in the PD of jewelry, for large scale production, the options are in the dozens if not in the hundreds as in a 3 stone ring (that's my next quest and believe me it is extremely complex and elaborated) which, if you do not draw the line somewhere, you could end up with a definition 10 times as big. I could make a list of the preliminary factors and you could begin to understand at least this one presented here, that looks simple but is not.
If you are a real jeweler and know how many details (interdependent with each others) are needed in order to cover unpredictable factors and lousy tolerances then you'll begin to cover an overextended territory.
For example: if you get to certain stone size then the prongs need to change, but not the bezels, and the bite for setting can go for technical integrity up to a point, because then the look is not appropriate.
If the metal it's platinum you can leave some things as they are but interconnections for metal flow has to change in some area but not if it is in gold.
Some stone count may not fit a particular finger size without going too high or too low, so the bezels need to compensate for this in thickness and visual relationship between them so that when I input a different finger size GH knows what to do based on many more factors etc. etc.
The fact that all geometry is in GH accounts for so many more components.
All this needs to work across the definition, so that if I say this is the stone size I want, all the prongs will need to move apart to have the right bite but with a diameter that is not out of proportions otherwise the stones need automatically to move slightly apart. It's endless.
For this reason we needed to define the market expectations (and have all controls for those ones in GH) and leave the eccentric to a manual manipulation.
Grasshopper it's a hell of a tool to transfer my 40 years of jewelry making (since a little boy :)
but I think I am using maybe 20% of its power.
We used SolidThinking because of the construction tree but there is nothing like Rhino and GH combined!
I wish I was free to share this definition in order to learn from advanced minds here but this time I can't. The next one will be mine (intellectual and technical property) and I can't wait to see how other will take it to the next level.
That's the best way to learn.…
h tree is actually a number of curves in rhino. I am then refreancing those groups of curves [trees] into grasshopper so each tree [group of curves] is held in one crv compnent. this is where my problem starts. The end goal is to extract endpoints from branches in each tree, then add splines that go through those endpoints of each tree in order, i.e. point 0 - tree 0, point 0 - tree 1, point 0 - tree2, point 0 - tree 3 ......... My problem is that i cant seem to get the data structured in a way that each branch holds each tree or group of curves, my problem may be that i start with (x) lists of (y)curves in each list. corresponding to x curve components [each a tree] with y curvres in them [each a crv of respective tree in rhino] Now i say x lists with y curves becuase right now its set up 6 lists each with somewhere between 20 and 45 curves in each, but those both will be changing often through iterations. so my problem may not be changing the structure of the data but getting it structured the way i want from the begining. I cant see to pass each of those trees into a component and have it come out as x lists/branchs of y crvs each, i either get one branch with (x*y) curves in the list, so essentiall all curves in the model. or i get (x*y) branches each with 1 curve per branch, essentially creating a new branch for every single curve. I have been working with the path mapper to try and solve but no luck, like i said i think it may be somethign to do with how it is structured from the begining rather than changing it down the line. attached def and model for referance, any thoughts /ideas greatly appreciated, midcrit on wednesday and need to get this base def working so i can start pumping out iterations with added attraction and repulsion fields built into trees/points.…

HOWEVER:
At home here on my newer, faster Windows 10 machine - no such luck. This is becoming quite frustrating as I feel I am failing some obscure intelligence test.
I have attached what I suspect is the likely problem identifier - not that it has helped me identify the fix. What I believe is the salient message is appears in the OF_Env_Create Powershell Window (Running as Administrator) , which is step 3 on the Windows 10 special instructions found here:
