center which i used to sort the points on 4 hexagons to connect by Plines.(points are sorted according to their radial angle from 0 to 360)
Problem is when I use gridcell centers as source to duplicate the star, all the copies shatter and the reason is because they all get their sorting point from the first star.
Question:is there any way I can make those copies use their own center points as the source of Radial Sorting? …
vature it makes things somewhat easier, but the surface in your file also has regions of negative Gaussian curvature.
To approximate a surface of negative curvature with a discrete mesh, we need the angles around some of the vertices to sum to less than 360°. This is impossible to do in a mesh with 3 hexagons around each vertex without making some of these hexagons non-convex.
There are a few possible approaches, but I would say how to automatically cover an arbitrary surface with nicely shaped planar hexagons is still an unsolved problem.…

Problem was caused due to matching data issue.
I would strongly advice you to read these two books (1,2) about Grasshopper:
They will clear you a lot of things about grasshopper, especially the basic ones.
About your problem with text: Text marks can be rotated by clicking and holding the left mouse button on it's ends. If you would like to move it without rotating, just click and hold at the middle of the text, and then move it.About color of the group: Right click on the desired group and define the RGB components under the "Colour".
Btw, I could not open your .3dm file as I am using Rhino 4, and you Rhino 5. But it's not important as I needed only two lines.Bear in mind that you can always save your Rhino 5 .3dm files as Rhino 4 (File->Save as-> Rhino 4 3DM Models).…
ied 12 times in X (always with the same gap) and for each time has a rotation of 30°. Then, I'd like these 12 items are copied n times in Y, shifting 1 module per time. At the end, the last 12 items have to be copied again n times in Y, shifting 1 module per time, but in the opposite way (like a Z).
See attached an example.
Thank you for your help!

t. This was a reasonably effective workflow for the purposes of solving the initial problem. (in reviewing this post, it seems a bit lengthy, but hopefully it's of use to others).
Link to Illustrator Script example:https://forums.adobe.com/thread/508138
Portion I used: This applies to entire illustrator document. I am using Illustrator CC 64 bit and this worked okay. Tested a few times and it failed once, but a restart of Illustrator fixed it.
var v_selection = app.activeDocument.pathItems;SwapFillStroke(v_selection); function SwapFillStroke(objSel) { for(k = 0; k < objSel.length; k++){ var subSel = objSel[k]; var c_fill = subSel.fillColor; var c_stroke = subSel.strokeColor; subSel.fillColor = c_stroke; if(!subSel.stroked) subSel.stroked = true; subSel.strokeColor = c_fill; }} redraw();
My goal was to export colored geometry, (analysis meshes for example), from Rhino and get it into illustrator with solid fills.
If you want to know how meshes are colored in rhino...there are many explanations here on the forum, a quick search will get you more detailed information.
Short version: export your lines from rhino to illustrator and run the script listed above to make the stroke color the fill color. (in illustrator, shift+X will swap the fill and stroke colors on individual objects, but does not work on multiple objects..hence the need for the script).
Detailed Version:
In my case, I had 2 case studies I was working with.1 - wind rose meshes generated from Ladybug/honeybee2 - A mesh terrain that was colored by pre-set slope values.
NOTE: There are a few plugins to bake objects with color. I used Human tools, (Bake Geometry and JustifiedText3D).http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/human (lots of other great stuff in there too!)
I had two types of geometry. (2 different definitions)
1- An analysis mesh, (HoneyBee/LadyBug),
2 - Lines generated from mesh faces. (mesh terrain/slope values).
Export results as a DXF, and choose "do not explode". (these were my settings)
DXF seemed to produce the most consistent results.
(you could export/save as an AI file and just open them in illustrator, but that seemed to give inconsistent results with the script).
Open DXF in Illustrator:
Apply Script in illustrator:
In the terrain example, there are only 5 colors, so selection in illustrator, by color, is very easy. In the results from honeybee/ladybug, (or any analysis process I imagine), the default colors are created with a much wider range of values. I presume the legend is then created by an average of those values within a range. My point is that, with the analysis results, selecting objects by color in Illustrator is probably not a very effective workflow.
I only tested this on my instance of rhino and Illustrator. mileage may vary.
In summation, at this point, it seems that the best way to get colored mesh faces, into illustrator, is to export the meshes, (which really ends up being the mesh face edges...curves), and bringing them into illustrator and running a quick script to swap the colors. Once that is complete, you can then select ALL the objects, and change the stroke color/weight at once.…
cy of design communication and the control of information-flow are as important as the creativity of ideas. In response to the concurrent digital evolution emerging in the architectural industry world-wide, the Faculty of Architecture at The University of Hong Kong will host a two week intensive summer program named Digital Practice.Led by professors from The University of Hong Kong, as well as invited practitioners with expertise in practice of cutting edge digital techniques, the program offers participants opportunities to experience applications of computational tools during different stages of an architectural project, i.e. concept design, form finding and optimization, delivery, management and communication of design information under the team-based working environment. By learning advanced computational techniques through case studies in the context of Hong Kong, participants are expected to go beyond the conventional perception of technology, considering users and tools as a feedback-based entity instead of a dichotomy. The program, which is taught in English, includes a series of evening lectures related delivered by teaching staff and invited local architects.對於高品質的建築專案,創意之外,專案過程中高效的設計資訊管理和交流成為項目設計深化和實施必不可少的環節。今天,數字化技術不但改變了建築師的繪圖工具,影響了設計的過程,而且提供了工程建造和管理實施的更有效、更高效的手段。針對建築的數位化演進,香港大學建築學院將於2011年暑假期間,在香港大學建築學院舉辦“數位化實踐”國際研習班。在香港大學建築學院教授及有著相關豐富經驗的外聘實踐建築師的指導下,學員將有機會體驗在專案的不同階段(如概念設計、設計形式的生成、優化,設計資訊的管理和交流),如何有效地應用各種運算智慧化技術(從設計的數位化生成和建築資訊類比到物理模型),提升設計實施的品質,增加設計團隊對於方案的控制。我們將挑戰對於“技術”的傳統認知,即相對於使用者它不僅是工具,更是與使用者互動的媒介,二者形成一個有機的合體。研習班期間會安排系列講座,展現數位化技術在實踐工程中的廣泛應用。…
;range> of numbers which starts from 0 to 1 with N numbers in between, times 2Pi by <function> component. This would result a range of numbers from 0 to 2pi that makes a complete circle in radian.
Two questions:
1) When I tried the same thing by my own it didn't occur to me to do the step in which we multiply t with 2PI. Why is this necessary? I was able to get a circle still without doing this.
2) Is it the same thing if I multiply t with 360.
Thanks a lot.

oop is achieved. After initially lofting the components (see "open loft" pic) I then proceeded to change the Loft option to "Closed" (see "MU Loft Closed" pic). The result was the 20th surface being inconsistently joined to the lst rib - as depicted with the green lines.
The desired result [as indicated with yellow lines] is to have the closed lofting between the 1st and last rib be consistent with the contours of the previous 19.
I've unsuccessfully tried a way to disassociate the relationship of the "green" lofting points to allow the lofting surface connection to the desired "yellow" points - with no success.
Any help in solving my riddle is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Greg
