idually and by group
3) Clean up functions to discard failed results
4) Use generated images using windows directories to delete designs (so you can bring one next to each other and discard similar ones)
5) Hide irrelevant parameters
6) View generated images in zoom
7) Individually set limits on filter parameters (using sliders)
8) Reload CAD file without having to close and open genoform
9) Much smaller UI (we want to allow the screen for design work, so the functionalities have been made into pop-ups).
10) Navigate in view to a desired design (by number)
11) Any other features our users want ? (let us know)
We hope that this version is much more easier to use and allows designers to manage what they wish to generate section by section or layer by layer.…
rting planar surface is a highly irregular one with 11 curves, and 12 points I'm using as anchors. As a result the mesh work I am generating with weaverbird is a mess and the whole structure looks incredibly unrefined. I've been trying to track down some good information on smoothing, equalizing and conformalizing techniques but haven't found any. I've seen demo videos but no accompanying definitions and I am very new to the kangaroo engine so working it out by trial and error is getting me further away from a solution.I've attached some examples of the design work I'm going for since I want to achieve a similar modular component to build the structure out of and hence need to fix this mesh problem.
It'd be great to have this sorted over the weekend, but figuring this out in general would be awesome.Cheers.

ay be other issues with your geometry, but this is usually the issue people run into.)
Rays will lose energy much more slowly when a room is very reflective, but such conditions only really exist with polished painted concrete. I don't know how many such rooms you've ever been in. I can count them on one hand - and I've been to acoustic reverberation chambers on 3 continents.
Pachyderm works with a ray decimation algorithm. This means that a ray will be traced out to the cutoff time, unless it has lost enough energy that its further contribution to the impulse response is negligible. At this time, the ray is discontinued. So, the more absorption in the room, the less time it will take to run the simulation. So, more realistic absorption coefficients will allow a model to run in a more reasonable amount of time.
Gypsum board/Plasterboard will typically be between 8 and 11 percent at mid and high frequencies, and higher at low frequencies, for example. Concrete, unless polished and painted, is still a little porous, so you can probably make it 3 to 5 percent.
Regarding sources and receivers, adding more receivers adds almost nothing to calculation time (until the every end, when it extrapolates a pressure response, anyway). This is because the receivers are entered into a spatial partition system, which allows it to be done in an optimized way. Adding multiple sources will effectively multiply the calculation time by the number of sources, because the simulation needs to be repeated for each source individually.
Hopefully this helps you figure out how to run simulations with reasonable run times.

h 11 returns two values, and the lists with 10 and 6 return one. In any case, I changed the logic a bit.
Check it out in the other vb component. The idea is just to check if the list is odd or even first with the Mod operator. If the lsit is odd, return the middle item in the list as you have set it up. If the list is even, return the mid items also in the same way as you have set it up. I am attaching the edited .gh file, a Class1.cs file which shows in C# how I set up the component (translated vb code will follow), and the .gha I built from it.
The logic should be a bit easier to follow in this version. Check out the edited vb component in the definition for a 'translated version.'
Apologies for the C# ness...I currently do not have Visual Studio Express installed, just Visual C# express. This one is converting just fine to:
Dim list As New List(Of Object)()Dim out_v As New List(Of Object)()Dim out_i As New List(Of Integer)()If Not DA.GetDataList(0, list) Then ReturnEnd IfDim val As Object = list(Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(Convert.ToDouble(list.Count / 2))))Dim i As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(Convert.ToDouble(list.Count / 2)))If (list.Count Mod 2) Then out_v.Add(val) out_i.Add(i)Else out_v.Add(val) out_i.Add(i) out_v.Add(list(i + 1)) out_i.Add(i + 1)End IfDA.SetDataList(0, out_v)DA.SetDataList(1, out_i)…

led to write F2825E_glzP_0 to idf file8. index out of range: 09. Failed to write 29BFFB_glzP_0 to idf file10. index out of range: 011. Failed to write 613DE8_glzP_0 to idf file12. index out of range: 013. Failed to write 3CBCE5 to idf file14. index out of range: 015. Failed to write BDEF6C to idf file16. index out of range: 0
Etc...
Someone knows how to solve this problem.
In attached you can find idf file, gh definition and the errors list.
Thanks for availability.
Best,

l use Rhino 4.0 and corresponding GH version, as a result i could not open your Rhino file.
Hence in your definition as i see,
1) Spring Force-1 -Connection has 11 'inter' components. The inter components do not have any input data and hence 'orange'. What are the inputs for 'inter'?
2) Spring Force - 2 -'Connection'has 1 point component. Rest length & Cut off has 'mass addition' data. This force is also orange, could u throw a light on this please?
3) Pull to surface - both forces has no point input, hence it is orange too. could u throw a light on this too please?
4) There are 2 x Cartesian product components not connected to anything.
I realise that partially it could be because i'm using lower version of Rhino. However, ur input will be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Agneesh…
