step-sizes. It starts out with large jumps, then as it cools the jumps get smaller and smaller as does the likelihood of a retrograde jump being accepted as a valid new state.
Most fitness landscapes have more than one dimension and therefore a 'jump' could include any number between 1 and N, where N is the dimensionality of the landscape. The Drift Rate setting —which may well be poorly named— controls the odds that a jump includes an additional dimension. All jumps must be at least one-dimensional, but 25 percent of them (on average) will include another dimension. 25% of those will include a third dimension and 25 percent of those a fourth and so on and so forth until the dimensionality of the landscape has been reached. Here's a list for 1000 jumps:
Drift Rate: 25%
1D jumps: 750
2D jumps: 187
3D jumps: 47
4D jumps: 12
5D jumps: 3
6D jumps: 1
A good question to ask would be; "Why would you want a jump to include more than one dimension?" and the answer is that the more genes are related, the higher the changes that a multi-dimensional jump will yield an improvement. It's not difficult to imagine that you cannot improve your current state by only modifying a single gene. Sometimes you need to change two in unison in order to reach a better solution. If your genes are highly related (which is bad practice to begin with) then you may need to adjust the Drift Rate to a higher value.

ively and creatively solve today’s product development challenges.
Our Rhino3D Foundations for Industrial Design class provides an in-depth look at 2D and 3D tools and methods with Rhino3D, a NURBs surface modeling software. In this class, we will systematically work through Rhino3D’s core features, using them to model the various components of a consumer product. Over the course of 3 days, we’ll cover some foundational topics, including Rhino interface and navigation, Rhino3D object types and properties, creating and editing 2D and 3D geometry, procedural modeling, automation, transforming geometry, Rhino modeling best practices, freeform vs. precision modeling, and exporting geometry.
You’ll take away the following:
Navigate the Rhino modeling environment
Create, edit, and modify curves, surfaces, and solids
Precision model using coordinate input and object snaps
Use transformation and universal deformation tools
Apply best practices for layer management and model annotation
Download the course one-pager. Need more information? Connect with us.
This class is ideal for:
Industrial designers who are new to Rhino3D and want to learn its concepts and technical features in an instructor-led environment.

rent actors to work together in real time on an architectural project.
DixieVR was born from the idea that virtual reality could become a fantastic tool for architecture and architects, not only for virtual tours but for the conception at its very core. Inspired by the efficiency of sandbox games, DixieVR will allow you to build a fully parametric 3D model from scratch in a very intuitive way and to simulate various factors like natural and artificial light, gravity, and more. DixieVR is also multi-user oriented : several people, architects or not, are able to work together in real time on the same 3D model and in the same shared immersive environment !
The project started in the Digital Knowledge department of Paris-Malaquais Architecture School.
The DixieVR Softwares can be found here : dixievr.github.io
// Interoperability
DixieVR deals with .dix files. For more information about this file format, please refer to the Interoperability documentation of DixieVR.
You can use this DixieIO plugin for Grasshopper/Rhinoceros for exchanging data between DixieVR (PC) & DixieViewer (Android).
You can import or export objects at any time inside a DixieVR scene. The Software also come with a library of premade objects that you might find useful. Adding your own premade objects to this library might be a good habit.
If you are hosting a scene, you also have the choice to open a .dix file directly from the main menu, this will load the last scene in which the geometry has been saved.
// Plugin
The DixieVR Plugin can be found in the Extra tab, come with 3 components and a example definition:
Dixie2Gh : Import DixieVR geometry to Grasshopper/Rhinoceros reading a .dix file (up to 1000 beams and/or 750 faces).
G2D_Polylines : Export Grasshopper/Rhinoceros Polylines to DixieVR writing a .dix file (up to 1000 line segments).
G2D_Mesh : Export Grasshopper/Rhinoceros Mesh to DixieVR writing a .dix file (up to 750 triangulated faces).
To install:
In Grasshopper, choose File > Special Folders > Components folder. Place the DixieIO_01.gha file there.
Right-click the file > Properties > make sure there is no "blocked" text.
Restart Rhinoceros or Unload Grasshopper.

p; 3D Urban ModelingOn the topography subject I get the next message: "One or more boundaries may be outside the bounds of the topo dataset" I'm not sure if it's the .IMG file I'm loading since I found so many IMG files nearing my polyline area (Miami Lat:26 Lon:-81 aprox.) or maybe my polygon doesn't match the topo area? I have no idea why it isn't working :(On the Shapefile subject, haven't been able to find a Building Height SHP File, so far have downloaded around 8 SHP files which only contain Polylines, my solution is to meanwhile randomize Z heights, but of course this data is not "technically" correct.P.S.: I've already tried all example links and also the ones posted by you and Benjamin in this video.Been strugling last few days, hope you can help me, thanks in advance!!…
component in GH for a project im working on. as part of that component I want to dynamic show text the rhino viewport but I don't want to have to return a value that I then plug into the "text tag 3d" component. I want to build a similar method into my custom component.
therein lies my problem. I haven't yet figured out how to get my vb code to produce text.
my latest attempt looks a little something like this.
Dim TestPoint3D As New rhino.Geometry.Point3d(0, 0, 0) Dim TestVect As New rhino.Geometry.Vector3d(0, 0, 1) Dim TestPlane As New plane(TestPoint3D, TestVect) Dim TestText As New display.text3d("bob", TestPlane, 10) ListItem = TestPlane TextItem = TestText
but I get nothing out of it.
latest theory is to try using "Draw3dText Method (Text3d, Color)" but this is where ive hit a wall
if I understand how this works than I would think I would code this
Dim TestText As New Rhino.Display.DisplayPipline.Draw3dText( text here, and color here)
but the hint that im getting after "DisplayPipline" doesnt show a "Draw3dText" method?
so im confused?
again my overall goal is to get text to display in the viewport directly through my component
any thoughts or ideas, or if im even in the ballpark on this one would be helpful.
thanks!…
) In the Rhino view port it is not possible to modify it until is backed (and I don't want!) I need to place several images each one in a different place.
2) Is it possible to use another component THAT DO NOT CONVERT INTO BLACK AND WHITE, the pictures??. I need to set COLOR images in a 3D model, using grasshopper. thanks!
Any comment or suggestion would be welcome!!!
Thanks a lot!
…
brep.
I am obviusly doing this in grasshopper (using a image to map the lines with the imagesampler) but this question goes beyond the software. it is more about geometry, I guess.
it involves to unwrape a geometry, but having always continuity from one to an other.
here a image of the concept
You have to keep in mind that the brep (in this case a circular shape) its longer than the shape of the plane. so it is difficult to place them flat in photoshop to paint and create the continuity.
here the images that I am using to map the lines on the geometries. I am using a definition that creates lines from a image black&white like this one
but in order to achive the continuity from the ground to the facade of the building I am thinking that the only posibility would be to use a software where I can paint a gemetry in 3D. LIKE ZBRUSH
but how do I get the map back out and flat to use is correctly in grasshopper?
anyone as any ideas?
Please!!!
THANKS!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
…
3d voronoi from which i extract a cell for each point. After this i need to compute the intersection between each cell and the surface.
I tried two approaches: one with "Brep|Brep intersection" and then "Curve splitting", and another with "Split Brep".
The first solution works (below) perfectly but the "Curve splitting" phase can be bloody slow! Sometimes it requires more than 1.5 minutes
The "Split Brep" solution (below) is much faster, but for each cell it returns me TWO surface: the one inside the Voronoi cell and the one outside. These are inside a three with a branch for each curring surface. The problem is than inside the branches, sometimes the first element is the inner surface, sometimes it's the outer.
Is there a way to use "Split Brep" and throw away the outer surfaces?
Do you suggest any other method?
Thank you very much, and sorry for my terminology: i've been using GH for 2 days :/…
