shopper and rhino files and tried messing with them to get a feel of the components. Now, in that file, the component ssiBeam is used, which I'm assuming is likened to the current version's ggSAPFrame? Now, in the old file, I went and created a section property with the new gg component and used it for the truss you had in there with no problems, but when I try to do the same thing for a file of mine that uses the ggSAPFrame component, the sections don't "extrude" right (for lack of a better way of putting it), and the section properties do not get baked into SAP when I use the ggSAPBake component (the element centerlines bake fine). Am i missing something here? Does the baking perhaps fail or go haywire if I don't have supports, or all elements of the structure baking at once (I started with just a few to try to get a feel for it). Any light you could shed on this would be great, thanks for all the help so far.

ng Grasshopper as the 'communicator' between the Rhino model and Reactivision, however my attention is now on scripting through Processing.
I came across your project from 2010 where you used Processing, gHowl, Reactivision, and Rhino.
http://www.grasshopper3d.com/profiles/blogs/tangible-user-interface-for
I have a couple questions:
1. Why can't I find any more recent projects relating to tangible modelling interfaces? Is there a specific reason (other than the advancements of touch screen technology) as to why many of these projects are from 2010/2011?
2. Did you run into any specific problems?
3. Did you ever attempt creating an interactive table surface (similar to the Reactable)?
Any further info or experimentation you did would be super helpful. Not much out there on this stuff!…
inventive collaborative environment.
The workshop is part of a series of PARAMETRICA events, promoting computational design thinking and exploring the new possibilities of parametric design.
The workshop is aimed at: students, postgraduates, architects, interior, product and urban designers, engineers, anybody interested.
> Workshop CONCEPT (16th – 28th July 2013):
The advancement of digital technology is helping architects to understand and respond to the complexity of the environment surrounding us.
In this 14 day workshop the various energies which exist in a given environment will be identified, analysed and then digital simulated.
Experimental structures capable of reconfiguring themselves in response to the mapped forces will be generated and fabricated.
> Conference CONCEPT (29th July 2013):
During this day we will present the final workshop projects and our special guest, Patrik Schumacher will exploit the subject of computational design thinking and parametric architecture, by putting the accent on the subject “Parametric Semiology – Architecture as the interface of communication”
> OBJECTIVES:
The workshop objectives are two-fold, in the first phase the workshop focuses on the identification and analysis of resources inherent to the environmental context, thus developing a better understanding of their nature as well as optimized methods of use or response.
In the next phase, the objective is to generate structures which through either means of fabrication or material properties can respond to, or utilize the environmental energy sources.

, ed è la zona in cui si manifestano in modo più evidente i temi di soglia, gradiente, variazione, catastrofe, dove le condizioni di limite e transizione possono essere esplorate trasformandole in configurazioni formali e architettoniche interessanti. Il workshop mira ad indagare strategie attraverso cui si manifestano le condizioni di transizione tra ecosistemi, sia in termini spaziali (dalla scala territoriale alla scala dei componenti) che in termini di evoluzione o ciclicità temporale (condizioni critiche come i cicli notte/giorno nelle zone desertiche). Il tema dell'eleganza riguarda il modo in cui il sistema produce un campo armonicamente articolato e differenziato di fenotipi a partire dal genotipo attraverso un processo di "estetica delle forze" guidata attraverso lo strumento digitale.
Il tema sarà dipanato attraverso le giornate del workshop sviluppando aspetti teorici e tecnici dell'approccio parametrico generativo, con particolare attenzione a strategie di design basate su caratteristiche endogene (vincoli interni del sistema) ed esogene (fattori ambientali) allo scopo di stimolare l'esplorazione di soluzioni sistemiche innovative.
Il numero dei partecipanti è fissato a 16 per offrire un tutoraggio proficuo ed una effettiva esperienza di learning ad ogni iscritto.
Temi:
Teoria
. transizione
. eleganza
. efficienza
. ridondanza
. sensibilità
. ornamento
. spazio
tecnica
. dati:gestione, manipolazione, visualizzazione
. generazione di geometria da dati
. logiche parametriche applicate al design
. genotipo/fenotipi
. attrattori, drivers e tecniche di modulazione
Dettagli:
Istruttori: Giulio Piacentino - McNeel (GH intro), Alessio Erioli + Andrea Graziano - Co-de-iT (GH & design tutors).
Si richiede esperienza di base nella modellazione in Rhino.
Saranno disponibili computers con preinstallate versioni di prova del software; i partecipanti potranno, a loro discrezione, utilizzare il proprio notebook.
Quota d'iscrizione (max 16 posti) : € 400 + IVA - la quota non comprende vitto e alloggio
Luogo : Pentacom - Via Petroni 18/4, Bologna
Orario : 10.00-18.00.

the image shows, the point at branch {0} match the points at branch {0;0} and the point at branch {1} match the branch {0;1}.
so:
{0}->{0;0}
{1}->{0;1}
{2}->{0;2}
{3}->{1;0}
...
ok, it means that it respects the order of the branches ignoring hirearchy. for me, this makes more sense:
{0}->{0;0}
{0}->{0;1}
{0}->{0;2}
{1}->{1;0}
{1}->{1;1}
{1}->{1;2}
How can I make it work this way?
Thank you so much!…
Meeting Agenda:
1) Discuss what the group would like to learn this term through our regular scheduled meetings. Topics include the priority and sequence of Grasshopper exercises we would like to explore during the winter term from http://www.digitaltoolbox.info/grasshopper_basic.html and Processing tutorials from the Processing Handbook I received from MIT.
2) Watch the Matt Storus Church Machine video and have a discussion about parametric and generative tools in design.
If you have a chance, please read the following article by Tim Love called Between Mission Statement and Parametric Model at:
http://places.designobserver.com/entry.html?entry=10757
3) Discuss a possible design build project over the following winter and spring terms using the skill set this group is developing. Conversation led by Chris Nielson (please see comments below for a brief backstory)
4) Discuss possible applied research and design work for the National Conference on the Beginning Design Student paper, Machine Craft and the Contemporary Designer: exploring parameters and variables through making physical artifacts. I wrote the attached abstract and submitted it for the conference the past fall and it was accepted. To continue with the research I need to assemble a team of students that will help explore the principles I set forth by making physical objects with the cnc router. In exchange for helping with the research I will show participants how to use the cnc router, how to author machine code and provide you with the cnc controller interface software necessary to simulate machine movements. Not to mention, your work will be sited in the research paper I present at the conference at UNC Charlotte in March. More tomorrow night, of course.
Thank you for your interest and I hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Erik Hegre

All,
In response to Erik, who requested that I describe my intentions in a design-build project and to the article posted (definitely required reading for this group) I propose that we begin development of a project that spans the realm of "sustainable social" architecture and parametric design. The particulars of such a design do need to be made concrete, and it will be important to define the goals of such a project.
Therefore, I would suggest that this serve as a forum for the next few weeks for those interested in producing a built project. I agree with Nico that it may not be feasible to create the built piece, whatever it may be, this term; however we should have the groundwork and a plan in place by the end of the next 10 weeks.
Either way, I would ask that everyone who is interested to please provide as many concepts to this forum to begin a discussion. If you are indeed interested, please submit goals that this project could achieve (energy, socially, aesthetically, economically, related) and perhaps what you envision the project to physically be (shading device, public bench, water catchment, interactive thermal contraption, etc . . . )
I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Cheers,
Christopher…
