which are a little annoying to me in the scripting environment I would like to share with you:
- when you type in a command or object type and the pop up composer shows, you can hit return to fill out the command quickly. While doing that when you're adding something in the middle of a line (with some text already present to the right), the rest of the line will be deleted. I think this is something that changed around revision 10 or 11.
- when you type in 'New' it fills itself out to 'NewLineHandling' and with List and DataTree it adds brackets <>. I know hitting the Escape prevents this, but I don't know if there's an easy way to solve this.
- when you're using .item(i) and want to use some of the properties of an object, the pop up composer never shows up (BTW 'item' isn't even an option in those menu's), in order to have a small memory support what those commands are.
I don't know if it's too much to change, but it would a huge improvement. Specially if I have a look at all the people that came about these small issues to me already.
Thanks and keep up the good work!

TB of RAM. I think I'm going to start a GoFundMe campaign to buy one for myself :)
2- The server's cost is about $13 an hour. I get free access to supercomputer through my university and xsede.org because I earned an NSF Honorable mention last March, however, the supercomputers available through both resources are a little complicated for me to use, as opposed to the one available from amazon that has Microsoft server 2012 already installed.
3- I wanted to run 400 annual glare simulations for 400 different views.
4- I tried a to perform annual glare simulation for one view on my Dell XPS that has Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor and 16GB of system memory. The simulation took 2 hours to complete. Radiance parameter ab was set to 6.
5- I wanted to obtain the batch file for each view so I can run them on the server. So I used the fly component to run all 400 simulations and closed the cmd windows, that wasn't bad ( for me at least) because I asked my son to this job for me, he was just glad to help me :)
6- I created one batch file using this cmd command:
dir /s /b *.bat > runall.bat
This created a file with the path to each .bat file. I edited this file in Notepad++ to include the word "start" at the beginning of each line. This was done using the "find and replace" dialogue box.
7- I split my newly created batch file into 3 batch files, each one has about 130 file names and " start" before the file names.
8- installed radiance on my server
9- Ran the first batch file on the server, this started 130 cmd windows performing my simulations, CPU usage was anywhere between 90% to 100% and about 105 GB of RAMs were used.
10. It took about 5 hours to complete all 130 simulations, I expected to run all in 2 hours but can't complain because this would've taken about 260 hours to run on my laptop. After the simulations done I ran the second and then the third batch files ( total of about 15 hours).
11. I got 400 valid dgb files. Couldn't be happier!

rights to register the "mapwingis.ocx" file.Francesco, would you be patient just a tiny little bit, so that we could try something else? I would be grateful if you could.
1) Close Grasshopper and Rhino2) Run the Revo Uninstaller Pro and uninstall your MapWinGIS application along with removing all the leftovers from the registry.3) Restart your PC, and once it boots again, make sure that you are logged in as an Adminstrator.4) In your Start menu's search box type: "UAC", which will find your User Account Control Settings. Click on it, and a new window will open. Set the bar on the left to "Never notify".5) Turn off your Antivirus, which ever it is.6) Download the 64 bit version of v4.9.4.2 MapWinGIS.7) Right click on downloaded MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file, and choose "Properties". If there is "Unblock" button click on it, and then click on "OK". If there is no "Unblock" button, just click on "OK".8) Left double click on MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file and install it to "C:\dev\MapWinGIS" folder. Choose "Full installation" during installation process!9) In your Start menu's search box type: "CMD". Once the "Command prompt" appears do not left click on it! Instead right click on it, and choose "Run as Administrator".10) A command prompt window will open. Type the following command:
"your_regsvr32_folder_path\regsvr32.exe" /u /s c:\dev\mapwingis\mapwingis.ocx
If command does not result in an error message, then type this one afterwards:
"your_regsvr32_folder_path\regsvr32.exe" /s c:\dev\mapwingis\mapwingis.ocx
11) If no error appeared again, then open your Rhino and Grasshopper and check what Gismo_Gismo component prints from its "readMe!" output.If errors appeared, it would be nice if you could post their screenshots.…

l use Rhino 4.0 and corresponding GH version, as a result i could not open your Rhino file.
Hence in your definition as i see,
1) Spring Force-1 -Connection has 11 'inter' components. The inter components do not have any input data and hence 'orange'. What are the inputs for 'inter'?
2) Spring Force - 2 -'Connection'has 1 point component. Rest length & Cut off has 'mass addition' data. This force is also orange, could u throw a light on this please?
3) Pull to surface - both forces has no point input, hence it is orange too. could u throw a light on this too please?
4) There are 2 x Cartesian product components not connected to anything.
I realise that partially it could be because i'm using lower version of Rhino. However, ur input will be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,

each circle's border, let us say 1.0
3) So, the curve will end up with 5 points, in each point will have a circle, each circle will have a different Radius, but the distance in between the borders of each circle is always the same = 1.0 in this case.
4) The end result list here would be like this to evaluate a curve with these values and find the points on the curve:
List = 1, 5, 11, 19 etc If I use these values to eval a line, I will get the perfect points where I can draw the circles.

e now contains (40x3x11=)1320 points with a branch structure of {0-39,0-2} i.e
{0;0}
{0;1}
{0;2}
{1;0}
...
{39;2}
with each branch containing 11 points.
I now want to create lines from the points on line {x;0} to {x;1}, {x;1} to {x;2}, and {x;2} to {x;0}, which will give me a triangular grid on each triangle. How do i do this? I think I need to split the tree 40 times to give me 40 single layered trees but I imagine there's a cleverer way of doing this!
This feel like it should be simple, but I;m having trouble working with the double-layered branch structure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt…
keep the same number of branches.
The way I'm doing it now has the inconvenience of only working for this particular number of branches, and I would like a more general way. Do I need a script or can I solve it with components, path mapper, etc?
-Also, and this one is probably simple but I can't seem to figure it out: I have a tree structure as in fig B, and I want to pick out certain series of branches from it, for example {1;0} to {2;11}. (PathGen seems to only go from {0;0} to a specified item?) So I want to be able to plug in a choice of numbers, and dispatch those branches into separate trees/cull them somehow. What am I missing? In general, I've failed to find a way to pick out all of the "uppermost" level of branches, eg {3;x}.
Any help greatly appreciated!…

r-workshop programme will focus on the design and 1:1 fabrication of an interactive pavilion for the 2012 International Festival of Electronic Language (FILE). Located on Avenida Paulista, the pavilion will react to light sensors and human activity, so as to transform and create a range of different lighting and spatial effects, triggering further movement and producing an interactive feedback loop of behaviour and response. To accommodate this responsiveness, the design should be developed using recursive scripting, associative modelling and digital fabrication.
Each workshop will focus on a different phase of the pavilion’s design and construction. Instruction will be led by Rob Stuart-Smith of Kokuggia and Tristan Simmonds of Simmonds Studio, with Lawrence Friesen of Generative Geometry, Anne Save de Beaurecueil and Franklin Lee of SUBdV, together withand other AA tutors, as well as local structural engineers and set-designers. Each workshop will offer introductory instruction in computational design - Grasshopper, (GECO, Firefly) and Arduino, and digital fabrication, while advanced instruction will be offered to participants undertaking multiple workshops.
Workshop 1 will develop design variations in small models, as well as material and structural scale modeling, testing and initial 1:1 prototyping, following computational and digital fabrication instruction. Workshop 2 will produce 1:1 prototyping. Following computational and digital fabrication instruction, it will explore the mechanics and electronics of the light-sensors and motors that generate the transformations of the pavilion. Workshop 3 will fabricate the final elements, working directly with manufacturers, testing partial assemblies. Advanced development of all circuits and Arduino scripts will take place following computational and digital fabrication instruction. Workshop 4 will focus on the final assemblage of the pavilion on site.
