ach object has a "Source" property (layer, parent, object) - my fix causes it to look at this source property in order to determine where to draw the plot width value from. I was already doing this for color and material, but had neglected to do it for plot width.
2. The "Print Preview" viewport display option is calling the "PrintDisplay" command in Rhino, which you will notice takes a "Thickness" value - this is the conversion factor between plot weights/print widths (in mm) and the number of pixels in absolute screen width. As you note, this is a relative and not an absolute width in model units, so it does not change when you zoom. In most design applications it would be quite strange to specify the print widths of your geometry in absolute units - e.g. setting your lines to be 50 ft thick. In illustrator you are always working in "Paper Space" whereas in Rhino you have to be aware of the differences between Model Space and Paper Space (or Layout Space in Rhino terminology.)
My lineweight preview component operates on the basis of pixels - if you tell it "2" it will display a 2px-wide line irrespective of your zoom. The 4x conversion ratio you note is purely a function of the setting of your PrintDisplay command in Rhino.
3. The good news is my custom preview component ALSO supports "Absolute" lineweights in world-space units - so that they create a line that gets fatter when you zoom in and thinner when you zoom out (though it can't get thinner than a pixel, naturally.) Set the "Absolute" toggle (the 4th option" on the component - I think it will create the "Illustrator-like" behavior you're looking for, without having to create surfaces from your lines.
4. The dynamic pipeline component updates when the by-object plot weight changes. It does not update when the layer-level plot weight changes. In the end I have had to make some judgment calls about what kinds of changes should trigger a component refresh: too sensitive, and a definition could be forced to recompute unnecessarily on every little change; too insensitive, and you require too many forced refreshes.
In general I have focused on triggering updates from object-level attribute changes (Where they conceptually represent data about THIS OBJECT) and NOT from layer-level attribute changes (Where they conceptually represent data about a category). The Layer Table is the component that is designed to report changes to layer-level settings - and with "Auto Update" enabled on this component, it will in fact trigger an update on layer-level attribute changes.
With this approach, you may have to match up your geometry to the layers it belongs to, and then use the layer table component to retrieve the plot weight settings. The definition shown below is an example of how to do this. It assumes you are using layer-level plot weights.

st variety of papers (mostly related with LIDAR airborne sampled clouds) ... but ... hmm ... no code (other than some "abstract" algos that may (or may not) work). Reason? A very hot cake that one these days: from reverse engineering to DARPA founded future defense systems and up to cruse missiles pattern recognition algos.
The solution (obviously doable only via code) is the so called flat hard clustering ... were points are sampled into clusters based on the coPlanarity "rule". For large amounts recursive octTrees (an oriented box divided in 8 "partitions") subdivisions are used and then pts are processed in parallel (and then clusters are re-evaluated in order to "absorb" other clusters with same plane A,B,C,D vars etc etc).
See what's happening in a very carefully made test point collection:
3.7 ms and the "ideal" clustering (7 search loops VS the max 42M theoretical threshold):
Depending on the pts "preparation" ... a considerable more time/search loops is required ... and ... well ... also "valid" clusters (4 points and up) made:
So "ideally" speaking in your case:
1. Mesh faces center points (or alternatively: mesh vertices) are sampled into a pts collection .
2. Hard flat coPlanarity clustering is attempted yielding pts/planes in equivalent DataTrees.
3. Planar Breps are made with respect the planes (like the black things captured above) and sampled, say, into a breps List.
4. The method Brep[] solids = Brep.CreateSolid(breps); is used for attempting to create your desired "engulfing" brep. This method is very slow mind (other waaaay faster approaches also available).

4 : Waterplane inertia
5 : "Finesse" f = WLL/(V^1/3) _ f stands for "frog" also, I think you use WLL^3/V in the English speaking world. I could have used WLL directly because the hull is set at the desired displacement before analysis - no use to test at random displacement indeed!
---First try on a 40' cruiser with jittery control points and bad volume repartition, a 30-seconds-work to a tee.
Red dots are original points, white mesh is current surface control polygon.
INPUT
After just a few steps I was able to find good candidates. Check the video.
OUTPUT
---Second try on an Open 60' hull. This was an rhino modeling exercise for students, so it's clean and realistic already, and I gave the same objective values as the original to see if it would fall on its feet. In this case I blocked the edges points.
I was amazed to see that It works!
INPUTOUTPUT
See the nice diagram! All points closest to the wet surface axis have good CP and position. On the left, very round hulls with poor stability (purple) and short WLL (big), on the right, wide hulls with higher water resistance (cyan) and longer WLL (small).
This is only one generation. with a few steps more it zooms in where the two sides meet. The two surfaces actually cross and I found very quickly an individual dominant on both wet surface and stability fronts.
I LIKE IT :)))

serveral questions:the first thing is in c++ i have to implement more methods than in my c# test project.
they are:
int MyGhComponent::MasterParameterIndex::get(){ return 0;}void MyGhComponent::MasterParameterIndex::set(int index){ }bool MyGhComponent::IsValidMasterParameterIndex::get(){ return 1;}
i found no hint for the implementation of that interfaces. could someone tell me that is correct ?OK, it works, but is it well writen ? What is the MasterParameterIndex?
the second "bigger" problem is, i want to have an output of an pointlist.X y Z 1.2 1.3 1.12.1 5.2 9.2...
my first approch was to use a
void MyGhComponent::RegisterOutputParams(GH_Component::GH_OutputParamManager^ pManager){pManager->Register_PointParam("Coordinate", "XYZ", "Node-Coordinate");}
and
void MyGhComponent::SolveInstance(IGH_DataAccess^ DA){Collections::Generic::List<GH_IO::Types::GH_Point3D>^ pnt = gcnew Collections::Generic::List<GH_IO::Types::GH_Point3D>(); for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { GH_IO::Types::GH_Point3D^ point = gcnew GH_IO::Types::GH_Point3D(i, i, i); pnt->Add(i); } DA->SetDataList(3, pnt);}
but this exampel doesn't work...i wirte a small workaround and use the following
pManager->Register_DoubleParam("X-Koordinate", "X", "X"); pManager->Register_DoubleParam("Y-Koordinate", "Y", "Y"); pManager->Register_DoubleParam("Z-Koordinate", "Z", "Z"); Collections::Generic::List<double>^ pntx= gcnew Collections::Generic::List<double>(); Collections::Generic::List<double>^ pnty= gcnew Collections::Generic::List<double>(); Collections::Generic::List<double>^ pntz= gcnew Collections::Generic::List<double>(); ... add .. ect.
this workaround do the job, but i want a better soulution. and i know somewhere out there sould be a better solution. i want to use 3D Points directly in GH without list conversation.
so somebody a familiar with c++ / cli ? and could give me some tipps or a soulution ?
the first thing is: what is the right RegisterOutputParams ?
and witch data type is the right ? Point3d doesn't work. so i try GH_IO::Types::GH_Point3D and Rhino::Geometry::Point3d ...

e.github.io/hydra/viewer?owner=chriswmackey&fork=hydra_2&id=Outdoor_Microclimate_Map
Thank you very much in advance!
1. why the underground zone representing the ground is defined as a plenum zone? By default, an office zone program is assigned. Will this affect the outside surface temperature of the ground plenum zone and affect, in turn, the outdoor microclimate map calculation?
2. I assume the construction GroundMaterial composed of five layers of 200mm concrete materials as assigned to the ground plenum zone is to assimilate a ground surface composed of thick concrete. But why this construction is assigned to this zone using both the Set EP Zone Construction and Set EP Zone Underground Construction components? Will the surfaces of this zone automatically recognized as underground surfaces based on their positions in relation to the default xy plane?
3. why a brep is connected to the input node distFromFloorOrSrf on the Indoor View Factor Calculator component which is expecting a number according to its annotation?
4. why the outdoor comfort analysis recipe is used for the indoor comfort analysis component?
5. why the OutdoorComfResult and DegFromNeutralResult are 2 csv files with PPD and PMV values if PMV/PPD thermal comfort model is only applicable to indoor air-conditioned space?

20%3ATopic%3A1241658&page=2#comments), I have some questions regarding the work mechanism of the lighting control in HB/Daysim.
1) Which specific sensor point (out of many) in the "lightingControlGroup" should fulfill the requirement of "lightingSetpoint" (300lux)?
in other words:
Does it mean that the average illuminance calculated from all the "sensorPoints" in the "lightingControlGroup" (insteady of any single sensorPoint) should fulfill the "lightingSetpoint" requirement?
if this is the case:
Why the lighting schedule obtained from DSElectricalLightingUse is different from the lighting schedule obtained by post-processing/checking all the hourly illuminance results at all the sensorPoints? (please see the attach gh file edited from Mostapha's version)
2) What's the difference, if I hook up "lightingControlGroups_" or not, as shown in the RED arrowhead in the attached file? (Because the results are different as well)
3) If I have a large space (like a 40m*70m sports hall) and want to know its annual lightingControlProfiles, do I need a "lightingControl" component to be hooked on to the "readAnnualResultsI" (in order to calculate its annual lightingControlProfiles)?
If needed, how many "testPoints" I should choose to be used as "sensorPoints_" in the "lightingControl" component?
Thank you in advance for your kind help!
Best,
Ding…
uld help me to optimize the script, so it works reliable.
At the end the script should work only by the input of the following informations:
- Top-Curve
- Bottom-Curve
- accuracy ( like poly-count)
- is the bowl an open or closed structure?
This is an example of a good result:
From here its probably the best if you open both attached files, so you understand the problems.
1. Bug:
Offset direction of the bottomcurve needs to be set up by hand sometimes.
The script uses "loft" on a bunch of 3pt Arcs to create transitions. Arc 3pts" needs a "Point B" on the offset of the bottom line. Sometimes the offset is inverted, so i need to change it by hand.
The rule to make it work correct is: "The offset of the bottom line goes into the same direction as the top line, but on the same hight as the bottom line."
How can i implement this in GH?
2. Bug:
The floor generation needs a lot of guessing the right index numbers of lists.
The script uses 2x "Deconstruct Brep" to find the actual bottom curve of the created transition Brep. "Patch" is used to create a floor from this curve.
If the bowl is an open structure, the script creates a line between the endpoints of the bottom curve to close it, in order to create a trimmed "Patch". But again, you have to set up the right Index Numbers by hand...
3. Bug:
If the bowl is an open structure and the endpoints of the top-line and the bottom-line are the same the lofting is not working. At the moment I use a script that finds double points in the list and deletes it.
But the the result is, that the loft is not starting at the beginning or the end. Here is an Image.
I have only a little experience in gh, but i really want to learn more.
Thank you all for your help!…
the following image of a hut.
I do not have experience using kangaroo to simulate forces, but I have made a test using multiple random components on a flat surface to fake the effect I'm going for. See image below.
The main issue I'm having is that the original file used for my test surface used box morph and the variable pipe command. Box morph is a bit touchy on a curved surface and it is not as elegant as I would like it to be (ie. I want all the hair diameters to be perfectly circular and uniform in size). Variable pipe also does not align the base of the hair with the existing surface, which means I have to offset the surface and then trim the excess of my pipe.....leading to heavy code and the file crashing.
So I'm trying to rebuild the "hairs" using a new method:
1) Subdivide the surface
2) Find the midpoint of each surface and then create a straight line that is perpendicular
3) Move a point along the on the straight line (between the start and end points) in the z direction, and then create a nurbs curve using this point and the start and end points
4) create a circle at the base of each crv, and then two more circles: one at the point in the middle point (I think I set it to .9) and the end of the curve
5) The problem: Now I am trying to sweep along these three circles and the nurbs curve to create a bent hair/pipe that is flush with the conic surface, but it does not work.
If someone can help that would be amazing. I've included my original surface test file and my new file where I am rebuilding using the sweep command. Below is a drawing of what I'm trying to achieve.
