summer because of the relative humidity of outdoor air will be over 80%.
I want to set the schedule like this
1) cooling setpoint to be 27C degree and max humidity to be 50%.
2) when the outdoor air temperature is lower than 27C, open the windows and ventilation naturally.
3) Air conditioning and dehumidification are needed only when the occupancies are at home (almost at night) and Natural ventilation is not to be.
4) Accept the indoor air relative humidity to be almost 100% when dry bulb temperature is lower than 27C.
Now, I set the air conditioning schedule as cooling setpoint schedule, but there are no components to set a dehumidification setpoint schedule.
The dehumidifier keeps working all day whichever the windows are opening or not.
How can I stop the dehumidifier during the windows open?
thank you.…
llowing for higher skyline and construction areas along public transportation corridors. Up until now, neighborhoods once characterized by two-story houses, gardens and ground- floor open shopfront programs, have been completely transformed by the introduction of fortressed monolithic residential and office towers, which lack any sort of urban street life.
The new master-plan, however, now requires buildings to have an open street façade to accommodate multiple programs. Led by tutors from UNStudio (www.unstudio.com), the AA Visiting School São Paulo will address the changes being prescribed by the new masterplan through the redefinition of the tower typology in the extending of the ground of street culture, green landscapes and ecological mediation along the vertical axis of these buildings. For this, the workshop will teach advanced digital design and fabrication techniques to explore a series of novel differentiating structural and environmental organizations in the redefinition of the São Paulo skyscraper.

2. This actually means that the parts on duty they don't differ that much. Meaning that we can use an "average" size (and "local" topology) acting as the Jack for all trades.
3. Meaning that we can effectively solve the abstract topology with an abstract app the likes of GH and then place in properly defined coordinate systems all the real-life bits and nuts ... closely "emulating" a pro solution (that could "adjust" the parts as well).
4. This means that one particular C# needs more lines of code since as it is it defines cable axis on a per nod to node basis ... but in fact these are defined as the min segment between curves (circles to be exact).
5. Additionally the end part of each strut differs depending on how many pairs of stabilizing cables are used (either 2 or 1). Meaning some lines of code more for defining the proper coordinate systems for the instance definitions.
6. This is the reason that I've postponed mailing to you the 4 horsemen (because PRIOR finishing the whole you MUST define what parts to use: the classic bottom-top design approach).

2. WORKSHOP (23-27 April 2014)
A 5 day Design-Based Research Workshop exploring new techniques in Digital Architecture/Fabrication, with a specific focus on the use of generative systems and parametric modeling as tools for creative expression.
Our ultimate goal is to increasing the efficiency of utilizing digital tools in parallel with geometric performance of the primitive design agent.
+ + CONCEPT
Fashion and Architecture are both based on basic life necessities – clothing and shelter.
However, they are also forms of self-expression – for both creators and consumers.
Both fashion and architecture affect our emotional being in many ways.
The agenda of this workshop is to investigate on the overlap between these two areas of design, art & fashion.
Fashion and architecture express ideas of personal, social and cultural identity, reflecting the concerns of the user and the ambition of the age. Their relationship is a symbiotic one and throughout history, clothing and buildings have echoed each other in form and appearance. This only seems natural as they not only share the primary function of providing shelter and protection for the body, but also because they both create space and volume out of flat, two-dimensional materials.
While they have much in common, they are also intrinsically different – address the human scale, but the proportions, sizes and shapes differ enormously.
+ + + OBJECTIVES
So far, Architects have been using techniques such as folding, bending etc. to create space, structural roofs or different other structural shapes.
The agenda of this workshop goes further with the investigation of algorithmic thinking through generative tools Integrated in design.
The challenge is creating a bridge that connects these two areas of design, architecture and fashion that perform at two opposite scales.
+ + + + TECHNICAL BRIEF
In the early stages physical models and low-tech strategies will be used, allowing the participants to gain a greater understanding of materials, fabrication and assembly methods as well as simple, yet pragmatic structural solutions.
Later in the workshop these strategies will be digitalized and elaborated using software visualizing tools such as Rhinoceros and the algorithmic plug-in Grasshopper.…

objExcel = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application");
objExcel.Cells(2, 1).Value = "titleA";

I see, the message
" Error: 'object' does not contain a definition for 'Worksheets' (line 95) "
Line 95 is the last one < objExcel.Cells(2, 1).Value = "titleA"; >
I've also tried,
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application xlApp;xlApp = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application) System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application");
But GH C# says
Error: The type or namespace name 'Office' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?) (line 89)
What did I wrong??

onents (radiation, sunlight-hours and view analysis) which let you study the effect of the orientation of your building and the analysis result. When you come to a question similar to "what is the orientation that the building receives the most/least amount of radiation?" is probably the right time to use this component.
HOW?
I'll try to explain the steps using a simple example. Here is my design geometries. The building in the center is the building to be designed and the rest of the buildings are context. I want to see the effect of orientation on the amount of the radiation on the test building surfaces from the start of Oct. to the end of Feb. for Chicago.
First I need to set up the normal radiation analysis and run it for the building as it is right now. [I'm not going to explain how you can set up this since you can find it in the sample file (Download the sample file from here)]
Now I need to set up the parameters for orientation study using orientationStudyPar component. You can find it under the Extra tab:
At minimum I need to input the divisionAngle, and the totalAngle and set runTheStudy to True. In this case I put 45 for divisionAngle and 180 for the totalAngle which means I want the study to be run for angles 0, 45, 90, 135 and 180.
[Note1: The divisionAngle should be divisible by totalAngle.]
[Note 2: If you don't provide any point for the basePoint, the component will use the center of the geometry as the center of the rotation.]
[Note 3: You can also rotate the context with the geometry! Normally you don't have the chance to change the context to make your design work but if you got lucky the rotateContext input is for you! Set it to True. The default is set to False.]
You're all set for the orientation study, just connect the orientationStudyPar output to OrientationStudyP input in the component and wait for the result!
The component will run the study for all the orientations and preview the latest geometry. To see the result just grab a quick graph and connect it to totalRadiation. As you can see in the graph 135 is the orientation that I receive the maximum radiation. Dang!
If you want to see all the result geometries set bakeIt to True, and the result will be baked under LadyBug> RadaitionStudy>[projectname]> . The layer name starts with a number which is the totalRadiation.

her people) a tremendous amount of time creating them by hand. Dog Treat was far from perfect, however it was good enough to use almost daily.
Three years is a long time. Since 2016 my Gh knowledge has expanded and I’ve seen how dodgy some of the scripting is. With this in mind I started work on a new build. Many things have been tweaked and some things have been rebuilt from the ground up.
Everything has been designed to be leaner and be a general solution to the problem of creating dog bone corners on geometry for quick, efficient and safe CNC fabrication.
Some of these things are:
Adding prompts about user geometry to make them aware about open curves, varying curve heights and if their geometry had been altered (mostly removing unnecessary points on curves).
Smooth Transfers. If you’re in a rush and need to speed through cutting, smooth transfers mean that a lead in geometry is now created alongside the actual dog bone arc. This means the router bit doesn’t have to come to a minute stop at every corner. This is turned on by default.
Acute Angle Condition If the angle between the two curves adjacent to a dog bone point is acute, previously the dog bone corner was useless. This was because the distance between the end points of the dog bone arc were less than the diameter of the router bit. There are many ways this condition could be addressed. I chose to circumscribe a larger arc based on the original angle between the adjacent curves. While it removes more material from the corner, it minimises tool wear and any potential for material to burn.
Single Curve A single curve can now be input into Dog Treat. It will be output with both internal and external treatments.
I’ll continue to update Dog Treat as the need arises, it’s become somewhat of a hobby now. Maybe one day it will become part of a Plug-in… once I learn to code it though!
Happy Treating!
Hi Everyone,
Here's a tool I've been working on for the past 4 months or so in my free time. It's a dog bone corner generator, however it's a little different to some of the existing ones. It's designed to be used for large amounts of geometry and as such, it avoids using any curve boolean operations that are computationally taxing. You don't have to split your curves up into internal and external lots either, it works it all out so you can be lazy. I've also incorporated Lunch Box's Object Bake Component for a one click operation that bakes geometry back out to Internal and External profile layers.
Let me know how it goes, will update where necessary.
Best,
Darcy

obably only using Rhino4, but three people who bought Rhino2, Rhino3 and Rhino4 respectively are three people using one version each.
We certainly don't know how many Grasshopper users there are. Grasshopper installers are not always downloaded via our website or -once downloaded- used multiple times (think class-rooms and company IT). We have no way of knowing whether someone who once downloaded Grasshopper is still using it. That being said, Grasshopper is downloaded ~100 times a day from our website and this number has been fairly constant since 2009 (though slightly on the increase, I'd say ~80 a day in early 2009). There are nearly 96,000 unique email addresses in the Grasshopper mailing list, more than 455,000 in the Rhino4 mailing list.
The size of this community (>17,000 registered users) is a much better indicator of user-base magnitude, but even here we have no idea how many people registered but are now no longer using GH as we do not collect use statistics (yet).

What I figured yesterday is that the increase in radiation because of the reflective facade for the 'worst' month is only about 2-3 kWh/m2 as your looking at a value of 80 without and 82-83 kWh/m2 with reflection.
So my assumption is that the glare factor will play a much bigger role instead of intensity of the sun, looking at comfortable levels. So I'm looking in this as well. It's very cool to play around with these plugins and see the outcome. I'll keep you guys posted.
@ Claudio, that was exactly my problem as well. I presented a direct sunlight hour analysis, to show the increase in direct sunlight hours because of the mirrored facade and at what times of the day the reflections occurred. But it is hard to asses if this is 'bad' or 'good'. The restaurant in question receives more or less 130 direct sunlight hours 'naturally' in the worst month and because of the reflection the result was 161 direct sunlight hours, but the client was like okay..... and is this a problem? So we decided to look at sun intensity but I didn't want to fall into the trap of in the end presenting kWh/m2 and having the same problem not knowing if this is 'comfortable' or 'annoying' etc. Good luck with your study, I'll post my findings
Thanks again guys…
