imilar topic with a Windows 10 user, which successfully fixed this issue.If you are tiny little patient, I think we can try the same steps in your Windows 7 case.For start, try these three steps:1) Close Rhino. Restart your PC. 2) Once the PC boots up, double click on the "regMapWinGIS.cmd" file in "MapWinGIS" installation folder.3) When it closes the Command Prompt window it opened, try running Rhino, Grasshopper and drop the "Gismo Gismo" component on the canvas (Grasshopper working area).If this does not help (you get the same COM class factory CLSID error message coming out from the "Gismo Gismo" component), then try the following steps, one by one:
1) Close Grasshopper and Rhino2) Run the Revo Uninstaller Pro and uninstall your MapWinGIS application along with removing all the leftovers from the registry. You can download 30 days trial version of it from here. Here is a youtube example of a bit older Revo Uninstaller. But the important part is that is shows how registry leftovers are removed.3) Restart your PC, and once it boots again, make sure that you are logged in as an Adminstrator!4) In your Start menu's search box type: "UAC", which will find your User Account Control Settings. Click on it, and a new window will open. Set the bar on the left to "Never notify".5) Turn off your Antivirus, which ever it is.6) Download the 64 bit version of v4.9.4.2 MapWinGIS.7) Right click on downloaded MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file, and choose "Properties". If there is "Unblock" button click on it, and then click on "OK". If there is no "Unblock" button, just click on "OK".8) Left double click on MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file and install it to "C:\dev\MapWinGIS" folder. Choose "Full installation" during installation process!9) In your Start menu's search box type: "CMD". Once the "Command prompt" appears do not left click on it! Instead right click on it, and choose "Run as Administrator".10) A command prompt window will open. Type the following command:
"your_regsvr32_folder_path\regsvr32.exe" /u /s c:\dev\mapwingis\mapwingis.ocx
If command does not result in an error message, then type this one afterwards:
"your_regsvr32_folder_path\regsvr32.exe" /s c:\dev\mapwingis\mapwingis.ocx
11) If no error appeared again, then open your Rhino and Grasshopper and check what "Gismo Gismo" component prints from its "readMe!" output.If errors appeared, please post their screenshots. Thank you in advance.
Please accept my apologies for the large number of steps. Some of them are quite simple actually (click on this, download that...).…

edit 29/04/14 - Here is a new collection of more than 80 example files, organized by category:
KangarooExamples.zip
This zip is the most up to date collection of examples at the moment, and collects t
production and presentation; to feel the workflow of some of the top ranked architectural universities. It is an opportunity for professionals to join and exchange ideas with a team of world reputable tutors. GENERATIVE MORPHOLOGIES v2 will focus on exploring the potential of parametrically driven generative processes and their combinations. By those processes we mean growth algorithms, production systems, physics and chemistry based reactions. While some of those notions may be known for decades, the usage of parametric software can ease merging and crossing between them, therefore enriching them with new possibilities. One of the main ideas behind the workshop is to collide emergent processes with deterministic systems and gain control over the final complex outcome of the algorithm, while maintaining its' valuable qualities. DETAILS/// GENERATIVE MORPHOLOGIES v2 will use the Anemone plug-in as the main workflow driver. From the practical point of view, we will make sure to briefly cover the Grasshopper basics, dive deep into data tree concept, learn about simple scripting in GH, compare the usual GH workflow with looping paradigms (Anemone, Hoopsnake and Octopus) and much more. The goal is creating a project that each participant can proudly include in his portfolio using the state of the art programs and techniques. For attending the workshop there is no previous software experience required. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN/// - Introduction in Rhino 3D, Grasshopper - Introduction in Anemone, Hoopsnake, Octopus - Strategies for 3D printing - Rendering with Vray - Discussions on project presentation APPLICATION/// http://designmorphine.com/…
s than 40% on average.2. 8gb usage is steady at 28% 3. I've been now looking at 2 blank white screen, in both Rhino and Grasshopper for well over 20 min. finally I went for a walk at 10:25am, (its a beautiful day why waste it looking at nonexistent calculations, It would help if there was a timing function in the code that would let me know how long the calculations were going to take, came back 11:25am still no results. Had to Quit Rhino in the Start manager.
I have used all sorts of window programs for well over 25 years. Rhino and Grasshopper are the only 2 programs that I have ever seen that show totally white screens in their operating windows :(
…
right? When the dataTree is this simple its not really a problem, but when it grows and I want to be able to refer to a specific GH branch e.g. {11;320} and I need to read this specific branch in Python? How do I do this?
I know that there is the function tree.Path(x) this will give me the GH Path, but how do I figure out what x needs to be? I guess there must be a simple answer :).
Thanks Rasmus…

nitions prior to Karamba are to allow the genes to manipulate the form of the shell and then kangaroo to relax the form to its "equilibrium" state.
The definition, as attached, runs fine over one iteration. However, when I run the Galapagos solver, rhino slowly uses up my computers memory and then ultimately crashes (around 80 Galapagos iterations). I don't think that the surface patch, or kangaroo are the issue, as I have run other iterative definitions through them without issue.
I believe Karamba may be occupying memory each iteration that is not released when a new iteration begins. This problem is exasperated by the fact that I am running 11 load cases, 9 of which are point loads defined over each vertex of the mesh. I ran a definition with only one load case, and it reached 170 generations (with a population of 50 for each generation). However, at this point it had occupied 90% of my computer's available memory.
Do you know of a way to ensure that Karamba purges its memory after an iteration, or is this a possible memory leak bug?
Thanks again, any help you can provide is much appreciated.

o use these extensions in order to integrate numerous tools for analysis and simulation in the architectural process.
This course aims to develop a link between the virtual and the real context model through structural or environmental simulations, using other software or plug-ins dedicated. Through this link the virtual model receives physical properties that can further modify and adapt the initial model. This creates feedback loops that can optimize the design to provide an object responsive to environmental conditions.
Curriculum
Mesh subdivision with Weaverbird, continuous surfaces without NURBS
Genetic optimization with Galapagos, optimal search
Physical environment feedback with Diva and Geco, solar and day lighting analysis
Adding physical properties with Kangaroo Physics, interactive form-finding
Linking the parametric model with structural analysis using Karamba, structural performance simulation
Extracting data with Firefly and Kinect, 3D scanning and human movement tracking

s the "Surface Populating" definition: I manage to populate my geometry over the surface, but after I bake it, I have to delete the boxes that define my components limits as well! Is there any way of populating and baking only the chosen component, without having to delete the boxes afterwards?
Secondly:
Basically: I am trying to cover a surface with two types of components [ an open one and a closed one] , which will be proliferated over my tubular surface according to the main sunlight direction.
1. I introduce the surface component.
2. I use "Divide Interval2" in order to have division into U and V.
3. i generate the target boxes [ "surfaceBox"] .
4. I use "Isotrim" ( same intervals) and "BRepArea" to find centroid of each area.
5. My "Curve" component introduces sun angle, with its "End Points".
6. I use "Vector 2Pt" to specify sun-light direction.
7. I want to measure the angle between sun-light and the surface normals, at the position of each component; after generating the centre points, I need the normals of each centre point to get the surface's points' UV, and "Evaluate" the srf at points.
8."Angle" and "Vector" components: I use them in order to evaluate the angle between the sun direction and the srf.
9. I convert this angle to degree by using a "Function" [ to see if the angle is bigger from the max.angle or not...]
10. Function "x,y" gives me boolean data.
11. Data become "Dispatch"ed...
12. Two "Morph" components , each one linked to one part of the "Dispatch" data, generate "closed" and "open" components over the srf.
The result should have been different types of components, based on the surface's curvature, diraction and sun-light direction...
I do not understand where the mistake is in this definition...
Thx in advance1
