component I just used different components and GH tools to do the same - and this become part of my short paper submission for SimAUD 2016). My solution compares the height of the same points of different solar envelope and then chose the lowest one. I read about the improvement you are working on and it is good but I think it is not yet what I need (or how the solar envelope tool could be more complete).
What I need is a solar envelope that would guarantee on different facades with different orientations (the example I sent you) a certain amount of direct sunlight, say 4h per day in a given period for example all the month of June at 60°N. So to guarantee the south facing facade I should chose the vectors from 10 to 14. But these are not ok for all the other facades because in this timeframe the East and West facing facades get only 2 hours and the North get 0 hours.
So the fist step would be have the possibility to chose different sun vectors for different facades. For the example I did (the 4 hours in June at 60°N) the south facing facade would need from 10 to 14, the East facing for example from 8 to 12, the West facing facade from 12 to 16 and the North facing facade from 6 to 8 and from 18 to 20.
If I would chose a single longer time frame that could get all these hours, from 8 to 20 then the resulting solar envelope would result probably smaller than the sum of the four solar envelopes.
But this is not complete yet. I mean the use of different sun vectors on different facades. The reason is that for example when I chose the sun vectors from 8 to 12 for the four hours on the East facing facade how do I know that the sun hit on the facade in that time frame or maybe it is obstructed by surrounding buildings? Since the sun at 60°N (where I live) in June rise at around 3.15 then maybe for that specific facade the sun hit from 4 to 8 and not from 8 to 12.
I did an extreme case talking about 60°N and that maybe the sun hit on a facade at 4 instead than 12, but it is just to make understand the logic. My suggestion for a more advanced solar envelope it should be integrated with the Sunlight Hours tool of ladybug. So the input should not be the sun vectors because I don't know when the sun hit on the facade but the input should be just the desired number of hours and the possibility to specify different number of hours for each facade. Then this last component that sum different solar envelope (I didn't use it yet but I understood what it does) should be integrated yes so the result would be one single solar envelope more likely using the lowest points (the highest I don't understand what for).
Let me know what you think!

te one of the boxes (kind of). Now I'm trying to set up the pattern, but I would like it to be random. I'm having trouble coming up with the actual algorithm, though.
I'm able to generate a list of items, randomly select some of them, and rotate them. I can also select the item after a rotated one and move it to the right.
However, I'm having trouble selecting all of the items after an item that's been rotated, and moving all of them.
Let's say I have a list of 15 elements and numbers 3, 6, and 7 are rotated. I would need to move numbers 4 through 14 (since it starts at 0) to the right by an x amount; numbers 7 through 14 to the right by a 2x amount; and numbers 8 through 14 by a 3x amount.
How should I go about doing this?
I'll add my current non-working setup. I should note that since I'm new, it probably looks horribly disorganized. Sorry about that.
Thanks!…

I am trying to create a script however I have several issues:
there are no values showing in my graph mapper
I cant thicken the spiralsHappy for any help Iteration_1.gh
could accomplish this by adding something like '5.0 + Slider * 3.0' into the expression field... (and having an integer slider with domain 0 to 6).

ed according to list C.
I tried replace members, but it consists of geometry, so it doesn't worked.
In list C I filtered all the indices that need to be replaced.
All items in {0;0} from C need to be replaced by List B {0;0}
All items in {0;1} from C need to be replaced by List B {0;1}
And so on...
In the end everything needs to be fed into a orient component.
G is the geometry behind list B
A is the new list (but I don't know how to create)
B is the list A of all 60 panels
To wrap up the question:
I need to have entry 1 from list B in a new list on position: 0 1 2 3 5 6 7 10 11 12 15 16 21
I need to have entry 2 from list B in the same new list on position: 4 8 9 13 14 etc. etc. etc.
I wonder how I can do this :) Thanks in advance!

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,
Arthur
