error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)). I'm not familiar with a lot of the magic and programming languages behind how this plugin works between Rhino and Illustrator, but I did a bunch of prodding trying to find a way to use Illustrator CC 2017 with it.
In the end I couldn't. But I installed CC 2015 (19.0.0) and it worked perfectly. This is on my personal laptop running Windows 10, with Illustrator installed at its default position on the C drive. No other more recent version worked for me, but I think that's more of a problem with my own dying laptop.…
le or assembly 'IllustratorInterop, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I'm wondering if this is related to the COM library issue that many others have been experiencing? I'm running the latest version of CC (2017) and the latest version of Rhino, but not WIP. Will this plugin essentially have to be rewritten every-time illustrator is updated? I look forward to using it. Thanks for you help!…
d it with the following:
"An integer that is greater than or equal to 0, which to sets the number of times that the Tergenza sky patches are split. Set to 0 to view a sky mask with the typical Tregenza sky, which will divide up the sky with a coarse density of 145 sky patches. Set to 1 to view a sky mask of a Reinhart sky, which will divide up each of these Tergenza patches into 4 patches to make a sky with a total of 580 sky patches. Higher numbers input here will ensure a greater accuracy but will also take longer. The default is set to 3 to give you a high accuracy."
To answer the question of what the number is supposed to be, it is really whatever level of accuracy that you need the results to be. You can put it as high of a number as you like until your system crashes :)…
and fine-grained control over the Excel 2017 COM objects, to be used with Bumblebee. :) I was unable to get Bumblebee working with the latest Excel, and I wanted to add more fine-grained control over file creation, application processes (killing background processes primarily), etc. Now that it's mostly working, I'm really enjoying all of the flexibility you've built in to Bumblebee. It's working great.
Anyway, I'll share that when it's ready, still more testing to do...
Cheers,
Marc

sg2012 TALKSHOP23 March 2012
The Talkshop is an opportunity to share perspectives, open debates, pose questions, challenge orthodoxies and propose new ideas in informal and open discussions between cluster participants, leading practitioners in various fields of expertise and emerging talents in digital design.
Topics:Shifting Attitudes How do we, as design professionals of the built environment, relate ourselves to materials?Material Energies: Effects An investigation of how energy interacts with intensive material properties and what this could mean for architecture.Material Flows: Applications The reality of the design practise.The Scale of Life An investigation on how material intensities vary through different scales.
Panelists include: Branko Kolarevic, Anna Dyson, Martin Tamke, Sal Craig, Dru Crawley, Kasper Guldager Jorgensen, Kiel Moe, Marie O'Mahony, Zoe Coombes, Jan Knippers and many others.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////sg2012 SYMPOSIUM24 March 2012
Invited keynote speakers will showcase major projects that explore the range of ways materiality informs design. The conference is a unique opportunity to hear insights into the challenges ahead for the discipline.
Interwoven throughout the day will be reports and highlights from each workshop cluster, giving those in attendance an opportunity to view work created during the previous four days of intensive design and development.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////MATERIAL INTENSITIESImagine the design space of architecture was no longer at the scale of rooms, walls and atria, but that of cells, grains and vapour droplets. Rather than the flow of people, services, or construction schedules, the focus becomes the flow of light, vapour, molecular vibrations and growth schedules: design from the inside out.
The sg2012 challenge, Material Intensities, is intended to dissolve our notion of the built environment as inert constructions enclosing physically sealed spaces. Spaces and boundaries are abundant with vibration, fluctuating intensities, shifting gradients and flows. The materials that define them are in a continual state of becoming: a dance of energy and information.
sg2010 Working Prototypes strove to emancipate digital design from the hard drive by moving from the virtual to the actual in wrestling with the tangible world of physical fabrication. sg2011 Building the Invisible focused on informing digital design with real world data. sg2012 Material Intensities aims to energise our digital prototypes and to infuse them with material behaviour. They gain the potential to become rich simulations informed by the material dynamics, chemical composition, energy flows, force fields and environmental conditions that feed back into the design process.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////SMARTGEOMETRY 2012
sg2012 will take place at the EMPAC building on the campus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, in upstate New York USA from 19-24 March 2012. The sg2012 Workshop and conference will be a gathering of the global community of innovators and pioneers in the fields of architecture, design and engineering.
The event will be in two parts, a four day Workshop 19-22 March, and a public conference beginning with Talkshop 23 March, followed by a Symposium 24 March. The event follows the format of the highly successful preceding events at sg2010 Barcelona and sg2011 Copenhagen.
Rensselaer's history and strengths as a world-class engineering school afford a unique environment for design at the School of Architecture. In addition to it's own Undergraduate emphasis on design, computation and the built environment, its Graduate research programs focus on lighting, acoustics, and include the Center for Architectural Science and Ecology (CASE).

The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC), a pioneering facility devoted to research and performance across a range of digital and phycial media, will be the venue for the Workshop and Conference.

box) generating so many edges?
You can see that I want to check the volume of the "pipes" , but there are so many duplicates (or at least very close values) that it gives wrong results. How can I remove duplicates here? Vertices also have many duplicates, face might have too.
Second - how can I extrude the different panels (the ones in the end geometry, that are already rotated) such, so the extrusion happens perpendicular the each of them. I will cut them out of 3 mm Plexiglas, but I can cut it only in 90°.
Thanks to anyone that is willing to help, I already tried so many options and nothing worked...…
ecember 2017 from 18:30 until 20:30. We will have presentations from Heatherwick Studio and AKT II.
Please visit the following page for more details and registration: http://simplyrhino.co.uk/events/upcoming-events/grasshopper-uk-ugm-2017
Heatherwick studio will present two projects covering the topic of designing, making and collaborating through computational tools. Heatherwick’s Geometry and Computational Design team will go through the computational processes behind design and making in the studio concentrating on two projects, Vessel in New York with a focus on driving the geometry and Al Fayah Park in Abu Dhabi with a focus on Form Finding and working with collaborative tools.
AKT II's presentation will explore a series of examples where this new approach was experimented, tested and improved, the Al Fayah Park in collaboration with Heatherwick studio and the 2016 Serpentine Pavilion with BIG, and more.
We're looking forward to seeing you all again!
Many thanks,
Paul and Arthur
