be done easier, but later on the geometry will change and therefore this seems the better option. But coming back to the problem
First, there were some problems concerning the zone, although it seems solved still the “runenergysimulation” gives the following warning:
1. The simulation has not run correctly because of this severe error:
** Severe ** UpdateZoneSizing: Cooling supply air temperature (calculated) within 2C of zone temperature
Do one of you know what went wrong? It probably will solve most of it.
Second, “set Zone Thresholds” gives the following warning:
1. Solution exception:global name 'maxHumidity_' is not defined
However, the component is missing the max humidity input on the list, has this to do something with the error?
All the components are up to date.
I hope it will be an easy fix.

the catenary shape
6) Get the mid point of all the heaxgons
7) Create surfaces to get the average normal of each hexagons
8) Project the hexagon on the normal plane
9) Move the plane using the normals
10) create mesh faces between first and second hexagons
11) create mesh faces to close the planar hexagon
12) Orient all the mesh faces on a flat grid to laser cut them
13) Join and weld the mesh
14) Thicken the mesh using Weaverbird to get a shell
I hope this helps. It is all one mesh at the end made of quads on the side and triangles on the top (yes 6 of them).
All the best,

lane that looks like the outline of a gear wheel
2. Scale a bunch of copies of the curve to different sizes (I use 11 different sized curves.)
3. Move each curve vertically to a different Z-height
4. Rotate each curve to get the desired wavy/wiggly effect
5. Create a Loft surface using all the curves.
A critical step when creating the Loft is to add the curves in order - either top to bottom or bottom to top.
Step 4 can be omitted if you want a constant curvature throughout the final part. In this case all you have to do is Twist by the desired amount the Loft surface made from un-rotated curves. …

ings" [every person on the experiment is one ring] which show the time duration. The outer sphere is divided in 11 segments [which are basically the segments of a human brain] I hav imported the data so far but what i aim is to find a way to connect each moment[time, second] from the inner sphere to a number of points from a specific segment in the outer. For example for Person number1, at 5th second the segments that are activated are 4th , 6th, 11th with 2, 3, 2 points.
It could be done manually but since the connections are a few thousands and i got the lists, i wonder whether there is a better way.
Any help is appreciated, i do not attach files since you need the excel files aswell. If anyone would like to help i can email the files.
Thanks in advance.…
elated with the Topology outputs:
So let's try to do (via components) the face reconstruction stage (the missing 4 as above):
Alias crenelatedEdgesTree as polylineTree.
Imagine a Lst that samples all the edges per Face ("changed" and "unchanged") as Curves.
1. Let's take face 3: this is surrounded by edges 10,11,12,13 and 37.
2. Has edge 10 "changed" (to polyline) ? No because in the polylineTree there's no branch {10} ... thus sample edge 10 from the EList (Note: apparently that's a boundary edge). Has edge 11 "changed" ? No ... blah, blah.
3. Has edge 12 "changed" ? Yes because in the polylineTree there's a branch {12} ... thus sample the item from that branch. Same for 13 ... etc etc.
4. Thus we have sampled all the surrounding edges as Curves and the next step is to join them > yielding a closed Curve.
5. Then we must "planarize" that Curve (by projecting it into the corresponding Brep Face plane) ... and the rest are history.
So ... try it and report any issue encountered.…
Target group The workshop is fully funded and is addressed to students of architecture and civil engineering faculties at master level from Estonia (11 seats), Latvia (3 seats), Lithuania (3 seats) and Sweden (3 seats). The selected students will have full scholarship that will include travel, board and lodging in Tallinn for 10 days (arrival on Sunday 03.07.2016 departure on Wednesday 13.07.2016). The workshop is funded by the NORDPLUS programme of the Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) - Higher Education objective.
Description The use of digital and computational design tools is increasingly important for the activity of design and research for architects and engineers. It permits to integrate environmental and energy aspects from the very early stages of the design and planning process to achieve more performative, efficient and integrated buildings and urban environments. The workshop attendants will broaden their design and technical knowledge with solar design, daylighting and energy efficiency topics and will learn how to integrate environmental analysis and building performance analysis tools with parametric and generative methodologies in architecture and planning.
Location
Tallinn University of Technology – Departments of Structural Design and Environmental Engineering
Dates
From 04 to 12 July 2016

In the weeks just before the workshop the blog will present also materials and tutorials to get a basic knowledge of the topics prior to the beginning of the workshop.

p, open to designers worldwide, will explore the parametric mix of new raw materials and the re-use of elements from Carnival floats and costumes, transforming them using generative design processes and new digitally fabricated joint components, to create interventions for micro-venues and urban furniture in the Porto do Rio region.
Taught by AA Staff, recent AA graduates, and computation and fabrication professionals, the studio-based workshop will include extensive instruction in Rhino Grasshopper (including GECO, and Galapagos, to integrate environmental optimization, simulation and parametric control) and digital fabrication processes using laser cutter, CNC-milling and rapid-prototyping machines, sponsored by DS4 and SEACAM, all of which will be used to produce one-to-one design prototypes.

In other words, I'm looking for the GH equivalent of
Dim x As New List(Of List(Of List(Of Double)))
For example, I might have an outer list of 10 items each containing 20 lists with 30 items inside each 2nd tier list.
Say the outgoing gh_Structure is:
Dim outgoing_Struc as new gh_structure(of gh_number)
I can't seem to figure out how I might use the "append" method to GH_Structure to insert items to specific paths to create a list of a list.
The additional complexity is that I want to customize the indices of the outgoing list. Instead of the outer most list running straight from 0 to 9, I might want to have its indices non-sequential as {0}, {2}, {5}, {11} for example. This helps in using the "Tree Item" component downstream as these specific non-sequential indices refer to something specific upstream.
For example, with custom indices, I can pull a specific sublist by using index {11;3} which may not exists if the indices ran sequentially.
I guess the more general questions is whether anybody has pointers on creating nested trees in a custom component with specific indices? It appears that GH_Path has a "DebuggerDisplay" property which masks the internal continuously running index but this is a read only property.
Any pointers would be helpful
Thanks.…

The class is taught in English, fully online in 2 sessions of 3 hours each and an additional Q&A day via email. The course is scheduled between 8:00 and 11:00 UTC. This means that it is scheduled between 10:00 and 13:00 for Central European Summer Time (CEST) and between 16:00 and 19:00 for China Standard Time (CST – Beijing time).
Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of Grasshopper. Familiarity with Autodesk Ecotect is not required. You will be able to ask questions in the class through a live chat designed to give participants support on theory and exercises developed during the course.…
