h N paths.. {0}, {1}, {2} ---> {N}
(in the case of my posted example screen, it's 48!)
meanwhile, the list length is divided by an integer,
(here "16") yielding the result "3", which is piped into
a ceiling function that returns the "smallest integer greater than or equal to the specified number", suppressing float output.
This number feeds a preset series object to generate a list with 3 items,
which is then duplicated "16" times by the already mentioned integer, yielding
a list with 16x0, 16x1 and 16x2..
Note that we get the full number of "N" items as the duplicated output,
in this case 48, representing the exact number of original list items - yet with the respective values 0, 1, 2!
the following functions reformat the list syntax, as Manuel stated:
"
"{"&x&"}" is just a string (text).
& = and (connection)
x = variable input, in this case is series of numbers
so its mean numbers between { } like this:
{0}, {1}, {2}, {etc...}
the function just output numbers in the necessary syntax for the replace component.
"
the smart thing and reason why TAZ did this (I think...uh) is that the list is now a kind of template that will be used to indicate what replacement path number/"index" the items output from the simplified tree will receive.
the values of the template list are fed into the Replace object (as replacement paths"), as well as the simplified tree (as "data stream") and a series of "N" items ("search mask") (here, 48..) driven by the original list length.
"Replace" now cycles through the inputs and assigns new paths to the input data stream objects (which represent the original items on the list we wanted to package into a chosen number of paths in the first place!)
I've made a totally verbose re-draw of this.. see attached files. coords are fed from a text file, you'll have to re-link that one to play around with it!…
rying to place the 8 ft circle (and the point) on the bottom of the 48 in line, but there is no way I have found to 'snap' a point in rhino or grasshopper to the end of the line? I'm used to autocad where everything has an 'endpoint' snap so I'm like wtf.…
5 8, and then the following values are obtain as the last one (8) plus 3, then this last one (11) plus 5, and then this last one (16) plus 8, and then it starts again: 24+3, 27+5, 32+8...
Thanks

ectural project, the efficiency of design communication and the control of information-flow are as important as the creativity of ideas. In response to the concurrent digital evolution emerging in the architectural industry world-wide, the Faculty of Architecture at The University of Hong Kong will host a two week intensive summer program named Digital Practice.Led by professors from The University of Hong Kong, as well as invited practitioners with expertise in practice of cutting edge digital techniques, the program offers participants opportunities to experience applications of computational tools during different stages of an architectural project, i.e. concept design, form finding and optimization, delivery, management and communication of design information under the team-based working environment. By learning advanced computational techniques through case studies in the context of Hong Kong, participants are expected to go beyond the conventional perception of technology, considering users and tools as a feedback-based entity instead of a dichotomy. The program, which is taught in English, includes a series of evening lectures related delivered by teaching staff and invited local architects.對於高品質的建築專案,創意之外,專案過程中高效的設計資訊管理和交流成為項目設計深化和實施必不可少的環節。今天,數字化技術不但改變了建築師的繪圖工具,影響了設計的過程,而且提供了工程建造和管理實施的更有效、更高效的手段。針對建築的數位化演進,香港大學建築學院將於2011年暑假期間,在香港大學建築學院舉辦“數位化實踐”國際研習班。在香港大學建築學院教授及有著相關豐富經驗的外聘實踐建築師的指導下,學員將有機會體驗在專案的不同階段(如概念設計、設計形式的生成、優化,設計資訊的管理和交流),如何有效地應用各種運算智慧化技術(從設計的數位化生成和建築資訊類比到物理模型),提升設計實施的品質,增加設計團隊對於方案的控制。我們將挑戰對於“技術”的傳統認知,即相對於使用者它不僅是工具,更是與使用者互動的媒介,二者形成一個有機的合體。研習班期間會安排系列講座,展現數位化技術在實踐工程中的廣泛應用。…
