and 7 floors) depending on the size of their areas of surfaces. I managed to do it. Then I tried to divide buildings into frames/staircases (more or less). Then, I wanted to assign appropriate numbers to the proper frame/staircase. Like I did it before with whole buildings. Here is a problem. I'm lost in the lists. Could somebody help me with it?

.. then you put (or drill) rather "canonical" patterns that formulate the inner/outer skin (or both).
2. The above approach hits 3 walls: (a) very slow response (Rhino is a surface modeller) (b) booleans/fillets potential issues (Rhino is a surface modeller) (c) a potential aesthetic antithesis between the liberty of the "whole" VS the "strict" rules of the "details".
3. Since you opt to work with Rhino It could be worth considering playing his own game: deforming surfaces that is ... by working against control points or via the Morph methods. Then join them and get the decorative thingy as "solid".
Images below are from a C# that actually gets the control points of Surfaces in Lists and "deforms" them according a gazillion of options (a) via any "on-the-fly" defined pattern (Take or skip this control point: shift branches/items that is) (b) using any number of attractors in any push/pull mode (c) using chaotic vector values (d) using ... well too many ways to list them here.
Imagine what the Alien cuppa def does (modifies "diagonally" control points) ... multiplied by 1000.…

I'm wondering how hard it would be to have an edit box which shows the
number the user could click inside of then type in a new number, then
hit enter. :)
2) How would I go about using one line from a table and assign each
field to a variable? Then, move a slider or something and use the values
from the next row?
background: I'm recreating elbows, Tees, and other fittings using
paramatric scripts, then baking and exporting them. Here's one source
table, http://www.wardfittings.com/Assets/PDFs/0902CatalogColorOld.pdf
page 5, the uniform elbows.
Current Setup: the attached ghx file. Create a point at 0,5,0 in a blank
document with units set to inches, then assign that point to the top
left 'Center Pnt' in the ghx file.
Current workflow:
a) Modify variables A, B, H, and Nominal Dia to match one line from the
table in the linked PDF file, page 5, table of regular elbows.
b) Select the 'Nodes' and 'Surfaces' with a drag box
c) Click 'Bake'
d) Switch to Rhino window, do the 'sellast' command.
e) Drag baked objects along Y axis so the center point is at 0,0,0
f) Run 'Join'
g) Run 'Cap'
h) set the 'node' points to a layer called 'nodes'
i) set the surface to a layer called 'fit-3d'.
j) select the surfaces and nodes
k) export selected
This elbow that I'm doing only has 12 rows, so doing it the above method
doesn't take THAT long. I'm also going to be doing a couple with larger
tables like the Tee on page 8, and in other spec files. As you can
imagine, entering in EACH value into a slider is a bit tedious.
I'd love to take the pdf table, run it through an OCR program to convert
to excel, modify the headers so the ghx script knows what they are, then
paste it into grasshopper, or save it and have grasshopper read it, and
I be able to move a slider or something to to select one line at a time.
Has anyone done something similar? ie: assigned one row in a table to a
predefined set of variables, each variable coming from one field in the row?
Thanks for taking the time to read this message. :)
I'm making a rhino script to do steps d-k, so that part will be much faster.

Identify the aspect of calculations that consumes the most amount of time and resources: Based on what I have understood till now about the parametric workflow within the Grasshopper environment I don’t think it is Rhino/Grasshopper that consumes the maximum amount of time/resources (unless you are handling complex geometry and using native rendering). So, if you could identify the part of your iterations that consumes the maximum amount of resources we can look into parallelizing/optimizing that. It could be something like (RhinoModelling-15%, E+-40%,Radiance-45%)… If there is no way to keep track of that right now in Grasshopper, let me know, I might be able to write a custom script that records the timestamp for each part of the calculation.
Parallelizing Grasshopper: I have no idea of how to do this so I think the best resource/forum would the Grasshopper/Honeybee discussion board. I think at the very least, to make Grasshopper run on remote computers, you’d have to install Rhino/Grasshopper on those computers as well.
Parallelizing EnergyPlus/Radiance: Based on what I understand from reading Mostapha’s source code and also talking to him on this issue, Honeybee typically creates batch files ie radiance or e+ instructions which are then used to run EnergyPlus and Radiance. Radiance runs can be parallelized to a great extent, however, owing to the modular nature of how calculations are setup for grid point calculations , image rendering and some of the new matrix based calculations, there is no single answer to parallelizing Radiance calculations. One can look into optimizing a certain type of calculation and then code instructions for implementing those. E+, which I have only been using for the past month or so, doesn’t seem to have a native way of setting up parallel runs. One can, however, set up multiple separate runs of E+ and direct them to separate processors. I think there was some discussion E+ in the Honeybee forum so you might get a better answer from there on this issue.
Clustering computers and GPU based calculations: One way of implementing the kind of parallelizing that you are referring to, ie. utilizing unused desktops is to cluster computers. Penn State has a dedicated, text-only, Linux-based cluster system which I have been tinkering with for the past year or so. A single node of this cluster has 60 parallel cores and close to 300GB or RAM. Each node, in turn, was created by linking a bunch of computers together. Implementing such a cluster would require an active participation from IT systems admins in your firm. Another option is to use Accelerad for Radiance which parallelizes Radiance . Radiance doesn’t have a limitation regarding the number of cores you could use. I think the 8 processors that you mentioned is more a function of the currently available desktop computer configurations than Radiance’s ability to handle more processors(i7 for example, has 8 processors). In the past, I have run parallel renderings with up to 20 processors. Radiance code is optimized to run on Linux systems so the performance on Windows systems is likely to be somewhat slower.
Finally, unless there is a pre-existing platform to handle such parallel processing, some scripting effort would be required to direct calculation files outwards into different systems/processors and then fetch and consolidate results from those calculations into a single location and then visualize those results on an interface like Mostapha’s Design Explorer.

ices" which i found very intresting , I have your thesis and it will be the base of my futur work, I'm a graduate student in bioclimatic architecture and environment in Constantine -Algeria , I will prepare a thesis for my master degree in the theme of " parametric design, the dynamic envelope and intelligent façade" and really I need your help, if you can send me your work in grasshopper in(.ghx) mentioned in the "APPENDIX D SOLAR CONTROL VISUAL DEFINITION "(GRASSHOPPER),because i can't download it from the web site , I'm juste a beginner in grasshopper so I want to master the link between all the elements ,for this reason I would like to master your exemple in grasshopper as beginning , and I'll work with daylighting + thermal comfort in my thesis which is the continuity of your work, can you share your exemple with me please ? and why did you choose a 200 btu/ft² as a limits for direct normal irradiance , what is the formula ? I'm waiting for your response because it's so importante for my work , and i promise you , i will put your name in my references . thank you karla. the files needed are: the part which contains: 1-Solar Irradiance / TMY3 Excel Data (in grasshopper) 2-:Surface Geometry Analysis / Grid Pattern Selection (in grasshopper) 3-: Solar Profile Angles (in grasshopper)
4- Shading Geometry Profile Angles (in grasshopper) …
nputs to run (please refer to the image)
Currently, here is how I set the data:
protected override void RegisterInputParams(GH_Component.GH_InputParamManager pManager) { //Create default size
double defaultBaySize = 0; pManager.AddTextParameter("LotLib", "Llib", "Lot Library", GH_ParamAccess.tree); pManager.AddCurveParameter("BoundaryCrv", "BC", "Boundary Input", GH_ParamAccess.list); pManager.AddIntegerParameter("Direction", "D", "Direction of gridLines", GH_ParamAccess.item, 0); pManager.AddNumberParameter("CCsize", "S", "Distance from column to column", GH_ParamAccess.item, defaultBaySize); pManager.AddCurveParameter("GridCrv", "GC", "Take in curves input for gridlines", GH_ParamAccess.list);
}
protected override void SolveInstance(IGH_DataAccess DA) {/* Setup */ GH_Structure<GH_String> LotLib = new GH_Structure<GH_String>(); DA.GetDataTree(0, out LotLib); List<Curve> BoundaryCrv = new List<Curve>(); if(!DA.GetDataList(1, BoundaryCrv)) { return; } int Direction = 0; DA.GetData(2, ref Direction); double CCsize = 0; DA.GetData(3, ref CCsize);
List<Curve> GridCrvs = new List<Curve>(); DA.GetDataList(4, GridCrvs); if (!DA.GetDataList(4, GridCrvs)) { return; }}
Is there a way can set data in the way if the component does not receive inputs for BoundaryCrv but only GridCrvs, the BoundaryCrv List will empty.
Thank you very much …
to panelize & planerize in Grasshopper using the Kangaroo plug-in.
I’d like the “funnels” to taper upwards from a small base circle to a larger square. The problem is very similar to the one tackled in another post:http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/how-to-get-continuous-panels
So far I have simply attempted to apply the tutorial at the address below to my surface…which resulted in a wild simulation where no equilibrium was reached. I’ve played around with tolerances but to no avail.
Going forward I have some very broad questions:
1. Quite simply; how would you experienced types recommend I model the initial funnel? (Revolution surface? Mesh? Successive lofts?…)
2. Would you recommend paneling with a particular shape? Maybe it is my choice of working with only hexagons that is geometrically instable?
3. Would you apply a different technique than that used in the tutorial below, or simply change some elements? I’ve heard that the Weaverbird plug-in can be useful for use with Kangaroo for this sort of problem?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!…
io, alle ore 19:30 presso la Mediateca MARTE di Cava de’ Tirreni (Sa), la lecture magistralis dell’arch. Walter Nicolino dal titolo “Augmented visions / Responsive spaces”, un viaggio culturale che, attraversando gli studi progettuali a diverse scale condotti tra la sede torinese e il centro ricerca di Boston, mette in luce una attitudine nell’indagare e nel dar forma alle interazioni tra le persone, gli oggetti e gli spazi, al fine di fornire possibili risposte alle nuove istanze poste dalla rivoluzione digitale.
In apertura i saluti istituzionali del sindaco Marco Galdi, mentre a introdurre la lecture l’arch. Amleto Picerno, promotore del Mediterranean FabLab di Cava de’ Tirreni e tutor della Summer School digitalMed, il laboratorio progettuale che da quattro anni a questa parte, indaga temi, pratiche e tecniche dell’attuale panorama architettonico internazionale. È la smart city al centro della IV edizione di Summer School Digitalmed 2013, che si svolge a Salerno dal 22 al 28 luglio con l’obiettivo di creare un sistema di relazioni e di interazioni continue tra la città, le persone e l’ambiente in cui queste si rapportano in un continuo scambio di informazioni.
Ad esprimere la critic ai prototipi di progetto che emergeranno dal workshop digitalMed, sarà proprio Walter Nicolino, architetto di spicco del panorama italiano, coinvolto in numerosi progetti di ricerca al Senseable City Lab del MIT di Boston, insieme all’arch. Carlo Ratti con cui è fondatore e socio dello studio torinese CARLORATTIASSOCIATI.
Il 26 luglio lo space 1.0 della Mediateca MARTE di Cava de’ Tirreni si fa, dunque, arena d’avanguardia per un interessante dibattito durante il quale, a proposito della Summer School digitalMed, si ragionerà anche sul modo in cui le tecnologie digitali influenzano l’architettura.
«Da qualche tempo a questa parte possiamo scegliere se orientarci alla perfezione tramite navigatori GPS o perderci come sognanti flâneur metropolitani; possiamo associare in un batter d'occhio infiniti layers di dati a un luogo, oppure contemplarne in silenzio il paesaggio; possiamo anticipare la realtà con sofisticate rappresentazioni virtuali, oppure esercitarci in giocose autocostruzioni partecipate.
Possiamo avere l'una e l'altra cosa: non si tratta di una scelta tra il mondo reale e quello virtuale, come predetto da parte della letteratura agli albori dell’era digitale, ma si tratta di capire come il nostro ambiente costruito e gli spazi in cui viviamo stiano imparando a parlare un nuovo linguaggio e ad interagire in modo sempre maggiore con le persone - afferma Walter Nicolino che parafrasando Le Corbusier “La civilisation digitale cherche et trouvera son expression architecturale”, sottolinea l’importanza di integrare le nuove tecnologie e radici locali senza perdere la visione e la dimensione umana della città: All’architettura è richiesta una revisione dei propri strumenti per creare spazi flessibili, inclusivi, in grado di adattarsi ai nuovi modi di vivere e lavorare e di rispondere in modo interattivo alle nostre esigenze».
