at we have different versions of kangaroo, or...
In my opinion, it is better to avoid components from plugins unless it is really necessary (this error I am getting kind of proves my point).
So, the reason you are getting multiple V isocurves is because you are calculating them for every point generated by [SDivide]. You can avoid that by getting only one point for every row, like this:
Another thing is that I am still getting some strange curves at the top of the surface but I will not get into this since Danny has done that already.
So, to finally get to your question,
I think if you want more control over those curves you would have to change your definition to something closer to Daniel's proposal.
Here is what I am thinking: instead of getting messy with trees, branches etc, you could take the 11 V isocurves and extend/trim each one with different values and then just divide them and interpolate curves through these points. this way you can chose to control the top and bottom of the stairs independently and get a result similar to the one you want (play around with the graph mappers and the settings in orange).
Also I added a small part at the end to remove the curves that start or end outside of the handrail (I don't know if you want that or would rather trim the parts that fall outside the surface).
Hope this definition makes sense and please get back with any questions.
Cheers,

hat offer an even spacing of 11 gems from 0.0 to 1.0, and though the Anenome script works it is not as robust to various shapes and sometimes just stops at some point even on mellow curves:
The Hoopsnake script in the other thread: Hoopsnake doesn't want to appear multiple times in a document since resetting one resets them all and it only runs the first instance when I pasted two more copies of the whole script in, so I'll do them separately, and instead of an input reset wire, there is a right click Reset All item in the pop-up menu.
I understand now how the two looping components work, in having a geometry input for the first item, then they accept a second item input as new geometry that then gets looped as the new geometry replaces the original. What a great hack, so I was wrong above about only being able to loop numerical values.
Since I really like Anenome better due to its nice interface, I've converted the old thread Hoopsnake program to Anenome. It still won't handle multiple curve pairs, so I made copies of the whole script.
I learned a lot today. Thanks guys. Given how well these straightforward scripts can work, I'll bet there's a much shorter Python version possible, one that most anybody could understand and thus adapt. If I have time I can start again this time from scratch. Converting the long one taught me about the problem though. Grasshopper makes it easier though, since Circle TTT only needs one center point hint whereas Rhinocommon TryFitCircleTTT needs three.…
nally used on the pre-intersected multizone file, which also needed the full exterior distribution only.
Running your revised version now on these machines here, the result is identical to the one you posted above (below screenshot from run on my machine; and yes, the last GH file I sent is the one from which the previous screenshots originated)
(CMap result from your attached script ComfMap_CWM, ran on MD machine)
That is, incidentally, identical to what my script produced even before your changes!
In an earlier post, you showed a result image that comes much closer to what I would expect the output to be (so, in fact, you have already produced two different results):
(screenshot from your earlier post on July 11, 2016 at 10:05pm)
The "error" I was/am hence chasing is in the difference between these two results. The last screenshot from your earlier results shows a radiant temperature dropoff that is much more in line with the contribution of the cold glazing temperatures as evident in the E+ results. What do you think?
Apart from that, I am glad that now, at last, our outputs from the same script are identical on both machines. The usercustomLibrary has not changed, I have however attached it again. Other GH files are usually not open, no; the last results all came from single open file GH instances.
Thank you for your help again Chris- it's an interesting issue. I owe you a beer (or a few) should you stop by in Berlin one day!
Best,
Max

len , I lost all of my work (at least the 3d modeling)
And I frankly if I want to participate I´ll need to finnish up the board and i cant do the renders on my own I need more time , but I only have until 11:59 pm of July 6 to finnish up one render, if you feel up to the challenge, whoever completes it will receive 290 dollars (its all I can give) to any account you want. I basically need one single image.
It consists on 3 towers, with an organic facade, I'm including the competition board I had saved on in my dropbox, I want more or less the same perspective shown on the left of the board.
Sorry, but i'm desperate, I had it all done but well cant control everything in life i guess, only do it if you feel you can pull off a professional render.
Thanks. (contact me and I´ll give you more info on the towers, I was able to save some limited sections and floor plans .... but yeah.. limited, so you´ll have to base your work on the images I provide here.
I can give some files now, including images of the physical model.
Board: http://i.minus.com/idYpFK844DWns.jpg
Physical model: http://imgur.com/a/PywJa
Hope its enough, I'm also including one image i had where I explored the footprints of all the buildings, but its just for reference.
I know theres barely enough time to finnish it... but I dont know what else to do, do you guys think i should probably just take a good photograph of the model and run with that? I feel that would probably look very unprofessional :l but I really dont have a choice here

rves/holes. However, the Kangaroo script itself is prone to locking up so it seems like it might take forever. You can even double click stop the timer from the Windows task bar, I hadn't noticed that before:
You have to use that or right click disable the timer since even with the Reset toggle button input set to True the timer itself locks up the script a bit when you are changing things around.
Just setting the min/max numbers both to a desired mesh size gives a uniform mesh:
Oh weird, it's about if the timer is right click set to so small an interval that it gets ahead of Kangaroo! When you see how long each cycle is taking with the Display > Canvas Widgets > Profiler you just set the timer for above that and the interface comes back into being responsive. It only takes a few Kangaroo cycles to do the inflation, so a full second timer interval is even workable.
A finer mesh:
It's funny running it so slow since it overinflates at first, bulging out, before it equilibrates.
You have control over inflation pressure and mesh stiffness, for a variety of effects.
This is a good system once I realized the timer needed to be mellowed out.
What made it work was the fast custom meshing since a normal mesh is awful and MeshMachine wouldn't work with sharp corner holes at all, breaking out of the boundary even if I fixed curves or vertices or did the equivalent with NURBS surfaces instead of a starting mesh.
There is an initiation time for Kangaroo that doesn't show up on its Profiler time that happens even with the timer off.
There are some fine areas that can't inflate with a reasonable mesh setting:
Worth playing with but no match for ArtCAM since it suffers odd delays in between working fast. If I could get better 2D meshes, that were more adaptive it would be better, but MeshMachine is one of the only re-meshers I know and it's broken for even mildly sharp hole features.
Ah, how about a crude mesh that is then subdivided, guaranteeing inner vertices everywhere? Sort of works, but is still too dense. Way too dense to even do anything. The subdivision triangulates the quads, vastly increasing the mesh wire density. Better just to make a finer initial mesh with plenty of quads.…

, Engineer and Researcher from France with broad programming experience. He is the author of the City in 3D Rhinoceros plugin for creation of buildings according to geojson file and with real elevation. Guillaume already created a new component: "Address to Location". It enables getting latitude and longitude values for the given address:
2) Support of Bathymetry data: automatic creation of underwater (sea/river/lake floor) terrain. This feature is now available through new source_ input of the "Terrain generator" component. Here is an example of terrain of the Loihi underwater volcano, of the coast of Hawaii:
3) A new terrain source has been added: ALOS World 3D 30m. ALOS is a Japanese global terrain data. Gismo "Terrain Generator" component has been using SRTM 30m terrain data, which hasn't been global and was limited to -56 to +60 latitude range. With this addition, it is possible to switch between SRTM and ALOS World 3D 30m models with the use of source_ input.
4) 9 new components have been added:
"Address To Location" - finds latitude and longitude coordinates for the given address.
"XY To Location" - finds latitude and longitude coordinates for the given Rhino XY coordinates. "Location To XY" - vice versa from the previous component: finds Rhino XY coordinates for the given latitude longitude coordinates. "Z To Elevation" - finds elevation for particular Rhino point. "Rhino text to number" - convert numeric text from Rhino to grasshopper number. "Rhino unit to meters" - convert Rhino units to meters. "Deconstruct location" - deconstructs .epw location. "New Component Example" - this component explains how to make a new Gismo component, in case you are interested to make one. We welcome new developers, even if you contribute a single component to Gismo! "Support Gismo" - gives some suggestions on how to make Gismo better, how to improve it and support it.
5) Ladybug "Terrain Generator" component now supports all units, not only Meters. So any Gismo example file which uses this component, can now use Rhino units other than Meters as well. Thank you Antonello Di Nunzio for making this happen!!
Basically just forget about this yellow panel:
This panel is not valid anymore, so just use any unit you want.
6) A number of bugs have been fixed, reported in topics for the last couple of weeks. We would like to thank members in the community who invested their time in testing, finding these bugs and reporting them: Rafat Ahmed, Peter Zatko, Mathieu Venot, Abraham Yezioro, Rafael Alonso. Thank you guys!!! Apologies if we forgot to mention someone.
