-life fabrication issues ... then ... well ... that's the reason for the Skype.
2. In general I would say that exploiting parametric "arrangements" (in the broad sense) is less than 5% of the whole ... given the fact that in real-life there's a lot of other constrains. Again using Kim's IKEA note: for instance packaging (at least for the magnitude of IKEA's business) is rather more important than ANY smart of stupid design.
3. Reliable components VS Design/Manufacturing cost IS the ultimate "fitness" challenge: this involves bottom-top design disciplines (not doable with Rhino/GH by any means) and ... well... some top dog feature driven MCAD app. Most makers/designers use the cheapo alternatives (SolidWorks/Creo etc etc) and the results ... well .. you get what you've paid for, he he.
4. Why bottom-top may you ask? (and what means this anyway?) Well ... one "connecting node" that would been made 1Z times at the minimum cost possible is a 100 times more challenging task than designing a shelve system that uses that node. See for instance A LOT of IKEA solutions (i.e. the nuts and bolts of them) that are exceptionally flimsy, very badly designed and ... well ... suitable for 1 week's usage (but there's some others that are less faulty). On the other hand IKEA actually serves the ephemeral ... thus ... this MAY be intentional (recycle > buy > recycle > buy > ...).
I buy therefor I exist.
For instance a certain IKEA mold injected "multi join node" for a given series of shelves ... it would sustain less than 5 minutes "abuse" (in case that someone would attempt to "rearrange" things). Moral: reality and theory ARE not the same thing.
I could continue until the end of Time listing "aspects" of the whole puzzle related with production issues ... but for the moment I would conclude by the following:
GH is a good "general" purpose graphic editor and Rhino IS NOT a feature driven solid modelling app. If you combine these 2 ... you can easily outline what you can and what you can't (or shouldn't) do on that subject.…
ee. That said these things (masterminded by a certain David R) are not bad at all ... but if you write code that is "supposedly" transferable (kinda) to other CAD apps ... well ... I would strongly recommend the other classic nested C# collections.
2. The HLP method is one out of many: for instance for a better approximation of the required fitted plane we can use the divide Curve method etc etc.
3. GH components use (in most of cases) methods exposed in Rhino SDK > get the thingy and start digging into the rabbit hole. Of course David did some other components as well that use "less" classic SDK methods (if at all).
4. HLP is a classic approach to count the beans in nurbs curves. Of course I could use PolyCurves and recursive explosion blah, blah ... but here we are not after segments (at least at present time). On the other hand if that was a Faceted Dome (planar Polylines) ... well getting the nodes that way it could be an overkill (this means business for V2).
5. Mastermind some plane orientation policies in order to finish(?) the @$%@$ thing. For instance: Given Plane plane, define a Plane.WorldXY at plane.Origin and section these 2 > then get the cross product (sectionVector, plane.ZAxis) for the new orientedPlane Y axis etc etc (this presupposes that any plane Z axis points "outwards": use Dot Product and a center point as apex etc etc).…
onstrates the following:
1. The definition's functionality employing HumanUI for the custom user interface.
2. Color based segmentation in manual and auto modes.
3. The evaluation of the definition's ability to handle different point cloud data sets.
This definition performs color based segmentation in two modes.
A manual mode, that implements the Delta-E CIE 2000 color difference formula, for targeted feature detection. An auto mode, that employs a simple RGB Color Range algorithm for quicker preliminary results.
RGB to XYZ to CIELab conversion and Delta-E scripts were based on Colormine's project code from github. Results have been compared and verified with the results of http://colormine.org/color-converter and http://colormine.org/delta-e-calculator/Cie2000.
Each stored class is charted and can be accessed through the UI, as shown at 2:30, where Delta-E CIE 2000, in CieLab color space, output results were found to be in perceptive conformity with human eyes, far superior to the preliminary RGB implementation.
Initial definition versions could process highly subsampled clouds in acceptable timings. Further research showed that employing the multithread processing of Volvox components, bundling the Delta E formula with the RGB to CIE lab color conversion script, per color segmentation calculations for a one million points point cloud would go down from 23 (c# script component) and 8 (vb script component) seconds to approx. 1 second (volvox script cloud component), thus allowing the segmentation of less subsampled point clouds.
I would like to thank Heumann A. and Zwierzycki M. who provided direct support with HumanUI and Volvox. Also Grasshopper3d forum users Maher S. and Segeren P., who contributed with Rhino viewport manipulation scripts.

this, you'll have no horizontal force at the roller, but you will have it at the pinned support. If you wouldn't, then the structure will be displaced.
Usually, in 2 dimensional structures, if you want to know if an articulated structure is isostatic (as opposed to hyperstatic, which is what you have right now) is to use the following formula:
b+c-2·n=0;
b being the number of bars, c the number of constraints you have and n the number of nodes. In your case: b=19, c=3 (displacements constrained in X, Z at your pinned support and only constrained in Z at your roller support) and n=11, so: 19+3-2·11=0.
I recommend you to download the app SW Truss, as it's very useful to check your results instantly.…
and visualizing data for ENVI-Met 4 software. ENVI-met is a cutting edge software used to analyse microclimate interactions in urban environment. Tens of different analysis types can be performed on the chosen building context. From Mean radiant temperature and local Wind speed to CO2 concentration and Pollutant dispersion in the air. To generate the building context for Ladybug ENVI-met components, Antonello used Gismo:
An example similar to results in upper screenshots has been been attached below. To run it, Gismo, Ladybug and Human plugins need to be installed. To perform the ENVI-met analysis, download ENVI-met 4 Basic for free, and install it. Steps in the .gh example file have been labelled from 1 to 11. They mostly consist of just setting a boolean toggle to True. An exception to this are steps 6 (set the folder path of your ENVI-met application install folder), and 8 (running the ENVI-met simulation). Step 8 has been explained in detail in the photo attached below (step8.jpg). Special thanks to Antonello for developing and guidance on ENVI-met application and components! Post questions below if you have any issues!…

work in both versions. I've tested them in Rhino 5 and they work on my machine. If your screen looks like CarloMaria's, can you double check that all of the .gha files and .dll's have been unblocked. To do this, right-click on each of those files (included in the installation folder) and select Properties. On the pop-up menu, at the bottom of the page, you should see a button that says Unblock (this only appears if they are currently being blocked). For some reason, downloading files off the internet causes some of the files to get blocked... and Rhino 5.0 is more picky about loading them in that instance. Let me know if that helps. Also (and I found this out recently from another user)... it's better if you don't have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions installed on your machine at the same time. It seems that sometimes this can cause a conflict too. When the other user uninstalled the 64-bit version, everything loaded fine in the 32-bit application.
There' haven't been any major changes to the OSC components. I did add a couple of features mainly to parse up some of the messages sent from other applications... notably from GyrOSC (http://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/gyrosc-kangaroo). Some of the messages are sent as lists of 4 values (like the quaternions sent in that app) or lists of 9 values (like the matrices sent using that app). Anyway, other than adding datatype parsers for these, I didn't change anything else about the component... so it should work as before. Let me know if you're still having trouble.

nd me to kill him but give him my regards anyway) is still around in BirdAir Italy ... talk with him.
3. Hope that you understand that designing the "details" means some decent MCAD app + FEA + this + that. "Fusing" this with some abstract graphic editor like GH ... is ... er ... impossible (in real-life, you know, he he ). Generative Components on the other hand may qualify but requires a lot of time in order to fully master it (approx 2-4 years).

My realistic (low cost) advise:
use K1/2 (especially if you are after "parametric" exploitation(s)) ... and then diversify tasks: stuff for the structural department, stuff for whom claims that he can(?) design the "details" ... whilst be in a constant contact with the membrane provider (and in fact: the contractor for doing the real thing as well)
…
t ... have a close look on these weird "slots" in the base mount plate - allow the struts to "follow" some base "auto" arrangement (up to a point).
2. After various ... er ... hmm... "communications" with a variety of apps.(some of them are not for public eyes) ...here's a concept demo about what could be done and fool the academics (that's the bit that I like the most)
In plain English (work in GH):
1. Create some wires that represent the struts and PAY attention on their limits of adjustability.
2. Create a nurbs curve through the points indicated with "balls" in the demo. Patch the nurbs.
3. Trim the nurbs surface with some "indicative" profiles OR use Kangaroo by applying a minimum possible relax state (if the latter add the rhomboid cables as well - they deform by pulling the membrane downwards).
4. Optionally put the real things in place (quite GPU taxing that one - do some Viz control).
best, Peter

imply lets you communicate with the chip in real time with other peripherals. In my case, I'm using the Xbox Kinect to read visual movements, assign a point ID to something like the left and right hand, translate its x-coordinate into a number, and have that number move a robotic arm servo. Sorry if this sounds like your upcoming robotic apocalypse.
My problem is that because my hand is always moving, it is continually reading the data in real time and crashing Arduino because it is continually processing the rotational distance (in degrees between 0-179). For example, if my hand was moving from 1 to 50 degrees, it's computing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ..etc instead of 1 and 50 as two separate states.
Is there a way to have a component refresh its value in a certain interval? This would mean it could read my hand at different intervals and print a value at timed increments instead of doing it all in real time. A simple practice exercise would be to create a random component and have the component refresh so that every 1 second or so it would produce a different number. The app is essentially refreshing. I thought the Timer component worked, but I misunderstood what it's used for, and I don't think it does what I intend it to do.
I've attached some pictures to show what I'm attempting.
And a file to recreate the problem with a different instance.
Thanks so much for your help! …
