that are orienting the metal carpentries ("menuiserie métallique" sorry for my lack of english) with the hinges which are supporting the glass surfaces...
Things I don't understand for a structure like this:
1.How the elements are assembled on the building site ?
2.Do we have to consider that for each hexagonal glass we have only two curvy links that are facing one another ? (if more it connot be assembled !)
3.For the almost flat hexas we make hexa glasses, for the others we have to divide them in 6 triangles... ? triangles glass is very expensive but who cares hehe ...
I'm asking too much but it's just for my personal curiosity, I don't think i'll use this system because it will just make some nice 3ds for my portfolio but I want MODELS (prefer real things not virtual).
For the materiality, I was thinkings about wood surfaces assembled with a mid-wood system... It would be possible if I use a soft wood that accepts deformations...
I'll post the WIP when I'll simplify the main structure. Now the thing is composed of 7 triangles... I'll first start with 1 and complexify after hehe.

n floorplate (say, 9 studios, 6 x 1-beds, 7 x 2-beds...).
My input is a text file which contains all possible combinations of unit types, up to a given size (basically, all the possible unit combinations up to a floorplate of 'x' square metres). The idea to save them into a text file was because of the sheer amount of combinations there were (33M), which took three days to compute but hopefully I can now use for a variety of projects (because the unit types don't change generally between projects, just the unit mixes).
Anyway, that's a small tangent. The point is I am reading through this index, finding good combinations for one project in particular ('good' being that it fits in the floorplate, with a decent floorplate efficiency).
The issue is that most of the log file isn't appropriate, only a very small percentage of combinations in the index are good for each floorplate (where each floorplate is represented by a separate path, by the way), hence me wanting to record only the best. I guess that is an optimisation, but I can't think of a better way of 'tunneling' through to a solution, to use your analogy. More than open to ideas, by the way!
The truth is I feel I am very close, if only I could code. In one hand I have the data recorder which sorts and keeps good values (Pieter's script), and in the other I have this one which keeps the paths separate....

and negative direction until it hits a boundary edge.
A random point on the new line is picked.
A line is drawn from that point, perpendicular to the base line until it hits a boundary edge or a line already part of the Substrate diagram.
Repeat steps 5 & 6 until the desired number of lines is reached.
There are some details regarding angles and the like, but they are not very important. The whole algorithm can be condensed to:
Pick a random point on any line already part of the diagram.
Draw a new line starting at that point until you hit another line.
Repeat.
There are some things that could be added to this algorithm, though it would require changing the source code or writing a new one from scratch. For example you could make the random-point-on-existing-line logic non-random. Perhaps the odds are greater that a point will be picked in some areas rather than others. This would allow for some control of density.
Another modification could be that several lines are generated one of which will be elected as the true line for that iteration. This would allow one to filter segments to achieve specific lengths or a specific length distribution.

are several reasons why not all commands are available as components:
Sometimes it makes no sense. Grasshopper doesn't have selections, layers, dimensions, data attributes or views, so commands like SelClosedCurve, CopyToLayer, MatchProperties, SetObjectName, PerspectiveAngle, DimOrdinate etc. would be meaningless.
Sometimes is it not possible. Not all commands in Rhino use algorithms that are exposed in our SDK. FilletEdge, CurveBoolean, MatchSrf, BlendSrf (to name just a few) cannot be used from within a plugin (short of actually running the command, which is a major pain in the ass for the developer). This is a deficiency we're trying to rectify, for Rhino5 and 6 and beyond we're trying very hard to remember to make our algorithms available to every developer.
Sometimes it doesn't seem to add much value. Grasshopper is used for different purposes than Rhino. That is also why Grasshopper has some components that do not have a corollary in Rhino. Do people really need a _Torus component? _TCone? If a command can be accomplished by stringing together 3 or 4 other components, would that not be a better solution if it's not needed that often?
Sometimes there is no good reason. We have a limited amount of man-power at our disposal, all of Grasshopper core and all the native components are written by just one guy. This may change in the future, but it simply takes time to add features and there are a lot of features to add.

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

large scale prototyping techniques. The programme continues to build on its expertise on complex architectural design and fabrication processes, relying heavily on materiality and performance. Autumn DLAB brings together a range of experts – tutors and lecturers – from internationally acclaimed academic institutions and practices, Architectural Association, Zaha Hadid Architects, among others.
The research generated at Autumn DLAB has been published in international media – ArchDaily, Archinect, Bustler – and peer-reviewed conference papers, including SimAUD (Simulation in Architecture and Urban Design), eCAADe (Education and research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe).
Autumn DLAB investigates on the correlations between form, material, and structure through the rigorous implementation of computational methods for design, analysis, and fabrication, coupled with analog modes of physical experimentation and prototype making. Each cycle of the programme devises custom-made architectural processes through the creation of novel associations between conventional and contemporary design and fabrication techniques. The research culminates in the design and fabrication of a one-to-one scale prototype realized by the use of robotic fabrication techniques, with the aim of integrating of form-finding, material computation, and structural performance.
The programme is structured in two stages:
PART 1 – participants are introduced to core concepts of material processes, computational methods and digital fabrication techniques. Basic and advanced tutorials on computational design and analysis tools are provided. The programme performs as a team-based workshop promoting collaboration, research and ‘learning-by-experimentation’.
PART 2 – participants propose design interventions based on the skills and knowledge gained during phase 1 and supported by scaled study models and prototypes. The fabrication and assembly of a full-scale architectural intervention with the use of robotic fabrication techniques will then unify the design goals of the programme.
Applications
1) A limited number of 10 places are available. To apply, please send a small portfolio (5MB) to the Visiting School Office.2) PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE. Please send a letter of intent and a small portfolio (5MB) to the Visiting School Office.3) As this programme has a limited number of places it requires a selection process, if you are offered a place on programme, the Visiting School Office will inform you of how you can complete the registration process.
The deadline for applications is 13 AUGUST 2021.
Eligibility
The workshop is open to current architecture and design students, PhD candidates and young professionals. Software Requirements: Adobe Creative Suite, Rhino 6. No prior knowledge of software tools is required for eligibility.
Fees
The AA Visiting School requires a fee of £975 per participant, which includes a £60 Digital Membership fee.Students need to bring their own laptops, digital equipment and model making tools.

able all the components from that group.I know it's slowing down a lot, but the rhino performance is really poor on layouts. In Rhino 6 WIP it's a lot better though.
For the issue with different amount of drill holes i made an example script, how i would go for a solution to this. It's just a suggestion.
1) Do a little script that catches those holes and bake them to a separate layer.In my example i just generated them with GH.
2) Use RhinoCount (is installed with FabTools) to name the curves in Rhino by clicking one after the other. But first diable the layers, with the other geometry, so you don't accidentally click on geometry which you don't want to count.
You have 2 counters 1 for the part the second for the holes on each object. Increment the object counter if you have counted all holes of 1 object. By clicking on each hole the counter increments all by itself. Take a look at this command!
1 Click creates 1 Dot and renames the Rhino object. You can turn on/off all specific features of RhinoCount with the checkboxes. (see settings above)
And....this should be the result after some clicks:
3) If counted, you can reference the counted geometry again to GH with the counting as Datatree. (See attached GH File).
Then estimate the maximum amount of holes on one object in your drawing.Create a template with the amount of detail views and do the process from the layout tutorial again. For all objects with less holes you will have to delete the detail view which didn't have a target point or you do a sort of grouping for the hole centers and estimate the center of that group. You can be creative ;-)
I hope this helps. Good Work,
FF…

I don't know how the speed/efficiency will compare with other spatial tree structures, but for me the main appeal would be getting the surface triangulation from the same process as the neighbour queries.
I figured someone has probably tried this idea before - did some searching and sure enough, for granular simulations it has been used for detecting collisions in 'discrete element modelling', but not very widely as far as I can tell (and not the part about a changing triangulated surface from the tetrahedra). Some info on this here:
http://www.apprendre-en-ligne.net/auteur/roso/boston.pdf
and in more detail here:
http://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/32908/files/EPFL_TH2432.pdf
(see Fig 2.15)
and a similar approach can even be extended to collision detection between polygons, not just spheres
http://www.apprendre-en-ligne.net/auteur/roso/marseille.pdf
@Dan H
If I understand correctly, what you are suggesting is a little bit like what they use here for splitting the surface when handles get too thin, though in this case based on unflippable edges not aspect ratios:
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/UM/people/yangliu/publication/cmc.pdf
(see figure 3)
However, this only works for splits, and won't help 2 blobs which start separate then need to merge.
Another possibility could be to do constant local connectivity updates together with occasional more expensive global checks for topology change by using some spatial tree to check proximity.
Similar to what is described here:
http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/60/65/16/PDF/Freestyle.pdf (Fig. 6)
and implemented rather nicely here:
