ifically: I have a 100' vertical plane lofted between curved top and bottom profiles. I contour it every 8' (normal direction is Z, giving me 13 horizontal curves). I use Divide Curve to divide each contour into 10 segments. The "Points" output of Divide Curve now yields 13 branches with 11 items each, corresponding to 13 contours with 11 points from the left end of the curve to its right.
I now want to string "vertical" lines, and connect all the 2nd items in each branch together, all the 3rd items, etc... in order to make a polyline that travels between each 2nd point or 3rd point. i don't want to use Cull Pattern/Nth/Index because the number of subdivisions could change (11 could become 20, etc).
How do I connect the Nth item of each branch in this tree? Moreover, how do I connect all values in a branch with their corresponding values in all other branches?
Thanks for any replies,

e actual method.
Below, I descibe how they work:
1) drag "scheduleDay" onto the canvas
2) drag some Gene Pool lists onto the canvas and connect a number slider - from 0 to 3.
3) connect the Gene Pool list to _genePool input. The component change some important features of the Gene Pool list automatically. Now you have LB_GenePool!!
4) choose the template that it's suitable for you.
5) disconnect LB_GenePool and if templates are not good, you can change them manually
6) drag "Ladybug annual schedule" onto the canvas
7) Connect LB_GenePools to inputs for the days of the week, Epw file and if you want to "_holiday" (in this way you consider holidays). Now you have your simple schedule.
8) a small workflow to visualize it into Rhino..
9) Connect "Ladybug annual schedule" to "Honeybee_Create CSV Schedule" to make your csv Schedule
You could make a schedule more complex than the one in the example above.
You can do that with _analysisPeriod input.

imes. Your loop should go to y.Count - 1. Or, you could use a For...Each loop, circumventing the problem altogether:
Dim shortLines As New List(Of Line)
For Each segment As Line in y
If (segment.Length < x) Then
shortLines.Add(segment)
End If
Next
A = shortLines
--------------------------------
Another problem is this line of code:
New_Lines.Add(New_Line)
It is located inside the loop but outside the If statement, meaning it gets run every single iteration. This fills up the short line list with duplicates.
-------------------------------
Here's something else which is redundant:
Dim Input_Line As New Line
Apart from the fact that you don't need a special variable for this at all, you also don't need to add a New keyword. The type Line in RhinoCommon (just like Point3d, Vector3d, Plane, BoundingBox etc. etc.) are Structures, not Classes. Structures always exist when they are defined, whereas Classes can be null ("Nothing" in VB).
-------------------------------
Some more advice:
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To y.Count()
You can merge these two lines into one. VB.NET allows you to declare your iteration variable inside the loop:
For i As Integer = 0 To y.Count - 1
--------------------------------
If you don't like the For...Each approach at the top of this answer, here's how to write this using a For...To loop:
Dim shortLines As New List(Of Line)
For i As Integer = 0 To y.Count - 1
If (y(i).Length < x) Then
shortLines.Add(y(i))
End If
Next
A = shortLines
ps. A personal preference of mine is that I always encase the expressions inside If...Then statements in brackets. You technically don't need to do this, but I find it makes the code more readable.

2. Since GH is acyclic by design we can't pick individually (without code, that is) our "picks" for the iceberg ... thus we need a global policy applied to ALL grid points at once.
3. This is what the next part does: it picks randomly some iceberg stuff and modifies their Z by a random value. If the Z is always "above" the grid or not it depends upon the domain of values to operate. Seed means "roll the bones again" (meaning another collection).
4. So we have the modified points Data Tree (that are steady - acting as the tips of the iceberg). Let's call them Anchors.
5. If we subtract set 4 from 1 we have the points prone to vary according some manipulation. Kangaroo does that manipulation (this is the best add-on that GH has to offer by 1M miles made by a very clever fella).
6. But if we instruct Kangaroo to do the job... he makes chaos since the points in 4 are not sufficient: we need perimeter steady points that act as Anchors as well. So we manage some logic to pick a variable set of perimeter points and we "merge" 4 and 6 and we have the final set of Anchors on hand - whilst all the rest are points willing to change.
7. Kangaroo is a physics engine meaning that the only thing that understands is ... er ... points and their relation (the "line" connecting them, that is). Kinda like a CPU that understands 0 and 1 and nothing else.
8. So we provide Kangaroo info about all the lines involved: how "stiff" they are and what is the expected/desired final length.
9. By double clicking the Kangaroo component ... the "simulation" starts running (in some kind of "loops") and goes towards an "equilibrium" where all our desires are satisfied - or the solution's entropy is the minimum possible (well up to some level, he he). Kangaroo displays a small control dialog that allows you to halt the process or reset it (meaning: start again).
10. If the instructions are "good"/"proper" the "loops" (iterations) are relatively few: if K does 1M "loops" ... this means that your instructions are silly or not well thought.
After stopping Kangaroo ... we have (hopefully) a "well" distorted collection of points (and their equivalent mesh) to proceed further via components usually found in the WB add-on
PS: If all the above sound Greek to you ... it's because I'm Greek, he he.
Moral: Get the gist of Kangaroo ASAP - worth spending some time I recon. If you do that and you need examples (other than the ones available at download time) ... well I have more than 300 (from simple to ultra paranoid).…

ow the steps of the successful run when step 1.2 is bypassed (note that the and OpenFOAM session is open in the background while running the Butterfly demo file):
1. create wind tunnel, and use different parameters of (4,4) for _globalRefLevel_ as suggested by Theodoro in this post
2. run blockMesh:
3. run snappyHexMesh:
4. run checkMesh:
5. connect the case from checkMesh to simpleFOAM and run the simulation:
6. the simulation converged at 1865 iteration, but the results visualization part has some problem:
7. so I revised this part according to suggestions from Hagit:
8. and the results can be visualized for P and U values:
The GH file used for the successful run shown above is attached here.
Now, the following is the error I got when the case from the update fvScheme component is used for simpleFOAM simulation:
the warning message on the simpleFOAM component is:
1.

The error message from the readMe! output node is attached below as a text file.
Hope you can kindly advise what the important steps or parameters I might have missed here. I assume it might be related to OpenFOAM rather than with the Butterfly workflow...
Thank you very much!

, 2013)
The most popular year was 2008 (5 responses)
Note: According to Wikipedia: "The first version of Grasshopper, called Explicit History at the time, was originally publicly released in September 2007." Interesting coincidence.
The response to question #2 by those that began before 2007 (How long did it take for you to feel comfortable with designing computationally?):
- Years
- Don't remember, but it felt like a natural way to relate to cad.
- After a few projects
- A month.
Compared to some of the responses of those that began since 2007:
- A month
- A few months
- After 6 weeks
- About 8 weeks
- Within my second design project with GH
- five to six months
- after 1 years of self learning + over 2 years of multiple projects and continuous self learning = Computation skill is comfortable but Computational Design can not be comfortable, Crazy learning curve.
There is much diversity, but some patterns begin to emerge.
Looking forward to more responses!…
been covered since 0051 (correct me if I'm wrong):
1) Shoot for the moon first -- "Control Panel Mode" which allows for advanced interface design. See Max/MSP for example of modal function. I spent a lot of time laying out control panels so they are nice for clients and team members to look at. I spend a lot of time disabling wire display and dragging sliders and panels and graphs around into nice little clusters. Could be something as simple as a mode that disables the view of all component handles, cleans up graph objects, sliders, etc. I know the Remote Control Panel has been requested over and over again since it disappeared, but honestly it wouldn't be much use to me unless it was a full blown customizable interface. In the meantime I'll stick to my own "Canvas Control Panel" methods. (See below...)
2) More control over graph objects. Right now the bar graph for instance automatically sets the lowest and highest value displayed. Would be nice to be able to set extents manually so that you can compare apples to apples on two different lists that have different extents. Also would love to force the bar graph to show all values along x axis, not just first and last. Same goes for showing the numbers of instances for each value. Now it only shows instance numbers in oddball cases. Would like to force them to show for statistical purposes. Love percentages, but usually I also want accurate tallies. I tend to use a member index sets to generate my own lists.
3) Color input for Vectors -- there are fakey fake workarounds but none that are as versatile as simply having a color input.
4) COLOR INPUT FOR TEXT TAGS -- sorry to yell... this one really frustrates me. I often build interactive feedback systems that involve a lot of different types of data, and it is difficult to convey that input when all text is red (or green when selected).
5) Ability to justify text tags using paragraph controls -- currently default is left-justified. Would like to be able to center text horizontally and vertically, among other things.
6) Ability for text tags to handle multi-line text. Not sure the best way to implement this, but often I find myself wanting to attach 3 items of information to a particular object, and I have to string it all together in one line. Would be great if I could insert a "^M" character that stands for carriage return and have that display as multiline text (used in conjunction with above justification controls).
7) More control over Text panels. Thank you for including justification options... but sadly now it begs the question for margin and header control. Text slammed up against the left edge is pretty unsightly. Moreover, if you have labeled a text box, the drop shadow from the title bar tends to overshadow the first line of text if you have Path display turned off. Would like to add some header space to fix the problem and create a cleaner look.
8) Easier access to text font size. Buried in a Special Font... menu. I want to be able to up up down down (left right left right select start) if you know what I mean.
I guess that's it for now... just the things on the top of my head in this category. Looking forward to installing the new release, have to wait until this major project is over though.
Cheers,
Marc
