that it can send out. Best to have a dedicated control for this. Mach 3 is pretty good for what it is, but there is a reason that nice commercial machines end up with their own controllers that are RISC based. If you are using Mach3 currently, and you are interested in the advantages of having a DSP based control, which includes the ability to have a true closed loop system (yes even on a stepper based system), then you should check out Dynomotion Kflop (www.dynomotion.com). Come to think of it, your idea of having Grasshopper be a "control" of sorts could be easily accomplished with a Kflop board, as you are free to do what you like with it so long as you understand C and/or .net. …

ies a step further towards informative models, how to extract data through a parametric process and design analysis which leads to performance based schema.The workshop will cover some advanced modeling techniques in grasshopper along with some useful grasshopper plugins "GECO,WEAVERBIRD,KANGAROO and more". An introductory to ecotect analysis will also be inculded.The workshop is dedicated to intermediate Grasshopper users " knowledge of GRASSHOPPER equivalent to which gained in Parametricisim WS or higher is preferred".Knowledge of ECOTECT is a plus but not necessary".

ions! == fantastic.
1. When at begin = false mode > (a) you can now see things and (b) you can reduce your panels (prior the interactive massacre,i.e. begin = true) based on the famous algo of mine as written in this top secret (C)(tm) function:
MassacreOnList(sListSorted, pC, CofCPanelDist) : in Plain English:: take no prisoners.
2. make a break > buy a book (you know what kind) > learn things > sky is the limit (in fact events/delegates is the limit - nasty stuff).
3. in order to get your def (the complete thing) YOU MUST post here a hymn (original, lyrical and passionate) related with the ultimate thing: my Panigale 1199.
best, Lord Of Darkness

hot you posted suggests, that "Terrain Generator" tried two times to download the terrain file from opentopography.org, and it failed to do that both times.As the opentopography.org servers are working, the problem may be with your PC. It may for some reason blocking the "Terrain Generator" component from downloading the terrain file.Can you please try these steps:1) Close your Grasshopper and Rhino.2) Restart your PC3) When it boots up again, 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".4) Turn off your Windows Firewall.5) Then turn off your custom Firewall (in case you have another one, besides standard Windows Firewall).6) Then completely turn off your Antivirus.7) Right-click on "Rhino 5" icon and then choose: "Run as administrator".8) When Rhino boots up, run Grasshopper, and open the newest analyse_terrain.gh file from here. Do not increase the radius_ input. Try running it with the default radius: 600 meters.
After these steps, are there any warning messages with your "Terrain Generator" component?…

hopper concepts and Parametric design. Design professionals from all industries are welcomed. Rhino intermediate level is required to attend this class. You will need to bring a PC laptop with Rhino 5.0 and latest Grasshopper installed.
Registration already started! Limited seats available.

e any simple way of getting my hands on the values of the parameters for the Pareto-front configurations ? For the moment I'm dealing with them by Copy-Pasting the list of data on a panel...
2. The data is given like a % of the parameters' sliders. Can't we get the slider values directly ?
3. Is there an easy way to view the shapes on Rhino while "travelling" on the Pareto-front ? I was thinking of clicking on the Octopus Pareto-front shape (line or surface) while having the corresponding parameters configurations (thus shape) on Grasshopper (and Rhino).
4. Finally, is it just my PC or why can't we see the shapes evolving while the algorithms is processing ?
Those features might be coming in the next versions of Octopus but still, if you have any idea of how you would deal with my questions for now...
Thanks in advance

rt, setup material qualities and run it. It calculates for a few seconds then it crashes Rhino. I have not done any work in the grasshopper version. I found that if I turn OFF ray tracing completely it will run to an answer. I have attached my test file. This is as far as I have gotten with learning Pachyderm.
Computer #2- On my other PC when I try to load Pachyderm into the system it does not appear in Rhino and Grasshopper does not load. I have to un-install Pachyderm from the Control Panel to get Grasshopper to even work. I have tried un-installing Rhino completely, re-installing it, then installing Pachyderm to no avail. Same problem remains. Is there some kind of a previous residual from a previous Pachyderm installation that is preventing it from installing properly? I have spent hours on this single problem and am flummoxed.…
rk for Rhino, this is a first go at a very simple tool to get an idea of how fast different computers are at performing the sort of calculations used in Kangaroo, with the aim of informing those buying or upgrading their machines.
If you could take a couple of minutes to download and run this definition (after closing other running applications), then post here the result and your PC specs, hopefully we can start building a basic picture of what effect different hardware really has on the speed Kangaroo runs.
Most of the information can be found in the System page of Control Panel.
RAM speed can be checked in your BIOS, or with a tool like CPU-Z (note that the reported frequency from this should be doubled to get the actual RAM speed rating - eg if the frequency is 800MHz you should write DDR3-1600. It's confusing I know - see some discussion of this here), or by searching online for the specs of your PC model number.
This definition is purely testing the speed of the internal physics calculation, not display, so graphics-cards are irrelevant.
For now this is just to get a single general measure of overall Kangaroo speed, but it might also be interesting later to run a variety of tests to see how the speed varies with the size and complexity of simulation.
Of course a way of benchmarking general Grasshopper performance would be very nice to have as well, but would involve a lot more variables, and I'd be interested if anyone has ideas about how that could work.
Note - I posted a couple of versions of this earlier with various errors that were causing incorrect results. If you downloaded the earlier KangaMark01.gh or KangaMark02.gh file, please disregard that and any results from it and use the one posted here below:…
