s for some solution "as it is" no matter the cost? (that's an extra stupid approach, very old fashioned). Do you use EvoluteTools Pro and/or Kangaroo for "optimization" ?
2. What is the FEA/FIM stuff in use? Do you expect "from/back" interactions? (If this is not doable ... increase this or that etc etc).
3. Do you validate real-life components with FEA/FIM? By what means you design these components? - present and/or future (inside Rhino?). This makes things "interesting" in a variety of ways (we need to extensively talk about that - Skype). The problem is that Rhino IS NOT a feature driven solid modeling app and thus ... a "certain" bottleneck arrives in no time: In the CATIA world you design ("MANUALLY") a parametric history driven component that "complies" to his parent "directives" (say: the Topology) and/or "imposes" his rules to his parent. This is what we call top<>bottom design approach (would become a standard across the AEC industry pretty soon: in around 123 years give or take some). This is far and beyond from what Rhino can do - but we DO make real-life things don't we?
4. Are all these things under a BIM umbrella ? What BIM? What type of details (blue prints) you deliver? (or you just make the thing?).
5. By what means cost is restricting/encouraging the solution? By what means you get feedback from component(s) cost that is outsourced? (i.e. outside your company). Do you monitor all things via some RDBMS? (that's Data Base).
6. What are the long term plans for dealing with such solutions? Using what apps (even in theory for the moment).…
depends on that data.
So, for instance, if my component is receiving 3 strings and at some point that data changes (structurally or "physically") I have to know it to wipe the old data in my third app and send the new one.
I know that with my clunky method I'm counting more events than necessary but at least I'm on the safe side, avoiding data collision on the third app. If you have any suggestion to improve the performance and the general behaviour of the event listening system I'll appreciate it.
Thanks.

the distance between the points so the triangles it creates don't have very long sides.All my attempts were very far from the goal so I'm only uploading the population. Pictures 2 and 3 demonstrate how the software works and changes which dots to connect. The software can be found here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/10543937/Image-Triangulator-AppThank you very much!…
d fly with a Porsche flat six).
2. Added a double (nested) Anemone thing (and the Mateusz version) and some comments.
3. Added a stupid "arm maker" cluster ... primitive/ugly/pointless - see one prototype attached about how to do it (you'll need a top feature driven CAD app for this - notice the Teflon low friction ring).
4. In order to "adapt" the cluster arm you need some "stretch" capability (orient, scale et all are the 1st step). Of course putting the cluster into the 2*loop is the art of pointless (Mateusz misinterpreted my bitter comments as regards the "slow" thing, I had absolutely no intension to recreate "live" the arm).

to run at full screen. I've gone as far as using an iPad to use as the second monitor via AirDisplay (which actually works really well) but have never been satisfied with any setup that required you to look back and forth as if at a tennis match all day long.
Not long after first using Grasshopper 3+ years ago I've had the desire for a "Live Viewport" component that would allow a live image of the 3d geometry being generated directly in the canvas. Every once in a while I search the forums with the hope of finding a solution, but always come up empty handed. Someday this might exist although for now I have found what might be the next best thing to a native "Live Viewport" component and its enabled with a small app named Sticky Previews. This app uses the task bar preview feature within Windows 7's aero interface to create custom, floating preview windows from any open window currently running. I've only just discovered the app, but it seems to do the trick and has been stable and problem free so far. -- I will post an update if I find out that I might have spoken too soon. The install allows for a 30 day trial and is $15 bucks to purchase. I just found the app and don't know anything about this group that created the app. If you happen to know of them, Id be curious to find out more.

Just spend 10 minutes watching youtube tutorial of Vray 3 and repeat:

Else-wise you will not learn anything and spend 10x more time because you do not know what you are doing...

Grasshopper vray integration is also straight forward.
Chaos group did good job for user friendly interface.…
cles always had only position (3 degrees of translational freedom).
Now they can also optionally have an orientation (3 degrees of rotational freedom), which are updated by the solver at each iteration.
This makes possible new types of goals based on these orientations. The first example of this is a more robust rigid body component, and collision between pairs of rigid bodies. These can be any closed solids, and do not need to be convex.
In coming weeks I will be posting more examples of Goals which make use of the 6dof nodes, including some scripted ones.
